Verse:(guitar plays the verse chords again)
Well I wanna pant myself a picture,
I wanna paint myself in blue and red and black and grey,

yeah you know grey it's my favourite color,
I just get son confused everyday,
but if i knew Picasso I would buy myself a grey guitar and play


Chorus:(guitar plays chorus chords)
Mr.Jones and me look into the future,
we stare at all of the beautiful women,
she's looking at you,I don't think so she's looking at me,
standing in this spotlight,
look at me,I,I got myself this grey guitar,
when everybody loves me,
[G]I hope I'll never get [Am]lonely,na na na na na na,[G]

[Am]we,we all wanna be big big big big big stars,
[G]yeah but then we get second thoughts about that,
[Am]so believe in me,
man [G]I don't believe in anything
and [Am]I, I don't wanna be someone to believe,
[G]you should not believe in me,

Chorus:(guitar plays Chorus chords until the end)
Mr.Jones and me,we're stumbling through the bario,
we stare at all the beautiful women,
she's perfect for you,there's got to be someone for me,
I wanna be Bob Dylan,
Mr.Jones wants to be someone just a little more funky,
well man when everybody loves you,
sometime that's just about as fucked up as you can be,

oh can't you hear me,cause I'm screaming,
but I did not go outside yesterday,
oh don't wake me,cause I'm I was dreaming,
and i might just stay inside again today,

(cause)
Mr.Jones and me,we don't see each other much anymore.

This has been a lot of work for me so please don't copy.Thanx
