You [G] think we look pretty good [D] together You think [G] my shoes [Em] are made [D] of leather
But [E] I'm a [G] substitute [D] [E] for another [G] [D] guy [E] I look pretty tall but my heels [G] are high
[E]
[G] The things you see [E] are all [G] [D] complicated [E]
Look [Em] pretty young but I'm just a fake
[A] [D]
I'm a substitute for your lies But I see right through your plastic mouth
I look all white but my dad would buy My fine looking shoes is really made out of
sand I was [G] born with a plastic [A] spoon [D] in my mouth
But enough time in my [G] town Face to face I [D] need more space inside
And [G] now [E] you dare to [G] look [D] me [E] in the [Em] eye [D] [E] Those crocodile [Em] tears will watch you cry
[E] It's a [G] genuine [D] problem [E] you [Em] won't try [E]
To work [Em] it out I'll just pass it [A]

Substitute you for my mom At least I'll get my washing done
