C                F                   G                  
Standing in this bright light coming ■ through in stereo

When everybody loves you ■ you should never be lonely

[Verse]
               Am             F      
Well I'm gonna paint myself a picture
Dm7             G                          Am  
Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
                     F                    G         
All of the beautiful colors are very very meaningful
                   Am   Am7         F    
Yeah you know gray it's my favorite color
       Dm7    G                
I just get so confused everyday
Am7           F      
But if I knew Picasso
        G                            C   
I would buy myself a gray guitar and play


[Chorus]
   F            G                     
Mr Jones and me ■ look into the future

Yeah we stare at the beautiful women
                 G                                       
She's looking at you I don't think so She's looking at me
C               F           G                          
Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar

When everybody loves me ■
                   Am    
I hope I never get lonely

G                                                    C     
She's perfect for you Man there's got to be somebody for me
           F        
I wanna be Bob Dylan
G                                                      
Mr Jones wishes he was someone just a little more funky
C    F                  
When everybody loves you
G                                                   C 
Sometimes that's just about as fucked up as you can be
          F               G              
Can't you hear me because ■ I'm screaming
C            F       G        
I did not go outside yesterday
C             F              G       
Don't wake me ■ 'cause I was dreaming
C                            F           G
And I might just stay inside again today ■
C F               G
■ Mr Jones and me ■
                  G                 
We don't see each other much anymore
