Couplet:
Am
if you try to be an icon
F
then the icon becomes you
C
if you try to be a model
E
it'll catwalk over you
Am
if you try to walk in straight shoes
F
then these shoes will bend you too
C
if you try to be a kid again
E
the kid will kidnap you
Refrein:
C
you know it's true
E Am
the guy you know well that's just you
F C
and there is nothing you can do
E Am
just like a door you can't get through
F
when there is no-one left to fool
E
don't go and drown in that old pool
Am
don't kid yourself
Couplet:
so don't try to be an icon
con the i inside of you
that picture you've been painting
doesn't look a thing like you
i'll agree that it's a nice try
but when your paint is dry
we are all just little icons
super you and super i
Refrein:
you know it's true...
Solo: Couplet: + Refrein:
Couplet:
i need someone to show me
just what i threw away
i need a pretty angel
to present it on a tray
you've never liked the icon
said that guy looked pretty strange
but you've never tried to change me
and that's how came to change
Refrein:
C
you know it's true
E Am
the guy you know well that's just you
F C
and there is nothing you can do
E Am
just like a door you can't get through
F
when there is no-one left to fool
E
don't go and drown in that old pool
Am
don't kid yourself
F
when there is no-one left to fool
E
don't go and drown in that old pool
Am
don't kid yourself
