[Em] About a year ago I was [F#] looking in the mirror shaving and I said, as I [G#] looked at myself,
know what you are?
And I was so stunned when I realized that I was an average guy, just like Fernando,
or Pete, or Quine, the ineffable Quine, that I just had to run home and write a song about it.
home it was actually very easy and I wrote this song while shaving.
I never said my songs were smart, they're just [D] simple.
[B] And this is called, Average Guy.
I ain't no Reverend or no Marxist DA
