 Intro: Am
 
 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
 
 Chorus:
               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...

 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

               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
