[Fm] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Gm] _ _
[Fm] _ don't want no [Gm] marble statue, [Fm] _ [Gm] smooth and [D] cold [Db] as [Bbm] ice.
[Abm] _ _ [Bbm] _ Not some [Fm] man-made [G] goddess, [Dbm] has some cut [Cm] and [Fm] slice.
[Gm] _ _
[E] _ [Fm] _ _ [Cm] [Bb] Don't need [Fm] no [Gm] great big set [Fm] of [Gm] charms to tempt [D] my [Abm] [Db] heart. _
[Abm] _ _ [Bbm] _ For the feel [Cm] of something [G] real, [Dbm] _ _ [Cm] [Fm] overmastered God.
[Gm] _ _
[E] _ [F] _ [Cm] _ [Eb] Well [Bbm] Aphrodite's got [Abm] grace, but she ain't the [E] face I know.
[Cm] And I _
_ [Ab] _ [Gm] _ [D] [Bbm] got blood in these veins [Gb] while [Abm] she's some spooky dame.
_ [Bbm] Lost in the heavens [C] above.
Why [B] do you wanna [Ab] be Venus, _ [Eb] _ when your light [Bbm] shines brighter than [Ab] the brightest star?
Why do you wanna be [Bbm] anyone [C] else, _ other [Fm] than who [Gm] you [Fm] are?
Why do [A] you wanna [Db] be Venus, _ [Cm] when you're so [Gb] much more than [Bbm] she [F] could [Ab] ever be?
I feel [Bbm] like I'm losing [C] you. _ _
Come [Fm] back [Gm] to [Fm] me.
Don't wanna know how [Gm] I made it [Fm] late [Gm] for [Ab] sunshine or [Abm] dawn.
_ _ [Dbm] _ _ [B] _
[Eb] Not [Bbm] some [Cm] babe who [G] comes unstitched, [Db] [Cm] before [Fm] every mirror [Gm] on the wall.
[Fm] _ _ _ [Eb]
[Bbm] Well, leave my rose some peace, [Abm] but no thanks please, [E]
not [Fm] my cup [Gm] of [Fm] tea.
_ [Gm] [Fm] Cause [Bbm] I want sex and phone [Abm] and a soccer store [Bbm] _ _ _ [Eb] next to me. _
[Db] Why do you [Abm] wanna [Ab] be Venus, _
[Eb] when your light [Gb] shines brighter than the [Fm]
[Ab] brightest star?
Why do you wanna [Bbm] be anyone [C]
else, _ [Eb] other [Fm] than who [Gm] you [Fm] are?
Why [F] do you wanna [Db] be Venus, _
[Cm] when [Ab] you're [Eb] so [Gb] much more than she [Ab] could ever be?
I feel [Bbm] like I'm losing _ [C] you.
_ [E] Blame it [Abm] on those living dreams of beauty queens who [G] kowtow to the pressure.
[Gb] Describing [Db] to the point of [Bbm] view that [F] bigger is better.
[Ab] Yeah, those tattooed lips, those vacuumed hips, this [Bbm] holy [Fm] sanity.
[G] Remember what you do, you do for [C] you and not for [Db] me.
_ [Bb] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Gm] _
[Ab] I'm _ [A] _ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ so much [Gb] _ [Ebm] _ _
[Ab] more than she could ever be.
I feel [Bbm] like I'm losing [C] you.
_ _ _ Come back to me.
[F] Oh [C] baby, [Fm] please come back [Cm] to [Fm] me.
[Eb] _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] Oh [Gm] _ [Fm] _
_ [Cm] baby, [Fm] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
[Fm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ [Fm] _ _ [C] _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Cm] please [Fm] come back.
[Gm] _ [Fm] _
_ _ [Cm] Oh baby, please come back.
Do you [Fm] want no [Cm] barbers, lashes?
[Fm] Come [Abm] _ [Fm] _ back to me.
