G                F   
I won't let you down
                    C
I will not give you up
(Gotta have some faith in the sound)
         F          G        F     G
It's the one good thing that I've got
I won't let you down
So please don't give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around 
Oh yeah

 G F C F G F G
 C                         Bb
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
C                             F C(F) C
Didn't know what I wanted to be

I was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? A prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll TV
But today the way I play the game is not the same 
No way
Think I'm gonna get me some happy


Cm                                    G
I think there's something you should know
                              Bb
I think it's time I told you so
                                  F
There's something deep inside of me
                                  Cm
There's someone else I've got to be
                              G
Take back your picture in a frame
                               Bb
Take back your singing in the rain
                       
I just hope you understand
 F                       (G)           C 
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man


C               Bb  
All we have to do now
    F                   C 
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
                Bb
All we have to see
           F 
Is that I don't belong to you
         Bb    C      Bb C
And you don't belong to me
  C       Bb      F
Freedom Freedom Freedom
              Bb        C   Bb  C 
You've gotta give for what you take
  C       Bb      F
Freedom Freedom Freedom
              Bb        C   Bb  C 
You've gotta give for what you take

 G                             F
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
                              C F C F
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big shot good-time band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on MTV
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now I'm gonna get myself happy


I think there's something you should know
I think it's time I stopped the show
There's something deep inside of me
There's someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Don't think that I'll be back again
I just hope you understand 
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man




Cm                  
Well it looks like the road to heaven
                               G
But it feels like the road to hell
                                     Bb
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
                     F
I took the knife as well
Cm
Posing for another picture
                    G
Everybody's got to sell

But when you shake your ass

They notice fast

And some mistakes were built to last


Cm
That's what you get, that's what you get 
       G               
I say that's what you get, that's what you get 
  Bb                                   F
That's what you get for changing your mind
  Cm
That's what you get 
  G
That's what you get 
(And after all this time)
Bb
I just hope you understand
 F
Sometimes the clothes
    (G)          C
Do not make the man

P.S. I hope I got it right. Song is pretty difficult so you'll have to 
listen to the record many times. Have fun!
