["Peter Brady"]

Intro:
[C A# F C] x 2
(enter drums)
[C A# F C] x 2

[Verse]:
C                         F              G
Don't you see that people  will like you  for who you
C                         F         G
are  Cause life is like a sitcom, a senior prom
    D                    F
And I'm okay and you're okay, grade A, ten-four
  C                     D             F
Roger, over and out, listen up, check  it out

[Chorus]:
C                  F      C       G      C       G
 There's something ugly inside of you, inside of you
          C          F      C       G      C       G
There's a  big empty hole inside of you, inside of you
F                                  C       G      C  G
 There's something creepy crawling on your brain
F                               G
 There's something in you, it's  red white and blue inside of you

[C A# F C] x4

[Verse]:
As long as you don't have lots of zits or small tits
Or crooked teeth then you won't be a freak, a wildebeaste
And people won't tape signs on to your back or beat the crap
Out of you or ignore your sorry ass, see

[Chorus]:
There's something vapid inside of you, inside of you
There's a sweet little robot inside of you, inside of you
So take off that silly moustache
Don't be a baby -- there's a Pete Brady inside of you

[C A# F C] x4 (with "Inside of you"s)

Next, play a palm-muted C for about four bars.  (This is the "Boy, I really
learned a lot today" part.)

[Bridge]:
C    A#    F        C
One:   You act your age
         A#              F                C
Two: You don't try to be something you're not
           A#       F    C
Three: You find out in advance
     A#(pm)
What restaurant your mom and dad are going to
                 C
And go someplace else

[C A# F C] x3 (with "Go someplace else"s)

[C A# C]
