[Intro]
A  Bm7/E  C#m  Bm7/E
A  Bm7/E  C#m  Bm7/E

[Verse 1]
A      Bm7/E              C#m       Bm7/E
Melanie, looks a lot like Stephanie
                     A                          Bm7/E
She looks a lot like Jane, who looks a lot like Amy
                     C#m   Bm7/E
Who looks a lot like Emily

A      Bm7/E                 C#m         Bm7/E
Melanie, I wonder what she's tellin' me now
          A                                Bm7/E
How she's twenty grand in debt, or someone famous that she slept with
       C#m                       Bm7/E
Or how everybody loves her, what drugs she doesn't take, but
A                                        Bm7/E
I don't really know why I talk to her, I guess 'cause she has big fat eyes
C#m                          Bm7/E
Swallows awkward silences so you don't even have to try
  A                                           Bm7/E
Besides, she never really talks to you, she's always looking 'cross the room
   C#m                     Bm7/E
At someone who just came inside

[Chorus]
A      Bm7/E                C#m                         Bm7/E
Melanie, how the hell'd she get to be, the way that she is?
A                       Bm7/E                             C#m                  Bm7/E
  How could anyone ever say they really loved her? I feel sorry for her unborn kids

[Verse 2]
A      Bm7/E          C#m                               Bm7/E
Melanie, she looks so heavenly, she's nature's great creation
    A        Bm7/E        C#m                                          Bm7/E
She better be. She has no female friends, and she's not much for conversation
A      Bm7/E               C#m                     Bm7/E
Melanie, are you really as mentally as dead as you seem?
        A                    Bm7/E          C#m                          Bm7/E
I wanna rip you apart at the seams, just to know what's inside but I'm afraid of what I'll see
  A                                Bm7/E
I know I know I know I know she'll be in the front row at the show
    C#m                         Bm7/E
She used to date someone in the band
    A                           Bm7/E
She drinks until she can hardly stand
     C#m                             Bm7/E
Some sucker holds her hand while she throws up in the van

[Chorus]
A      Bm7/E                C#m                         Bm7/E
Melanie, how the hell'd she get to be, the way that she is?
A                       Bm7/E                             C#m                  Bm7/E
  How could anyone ever say they really loved her? I feel sorry for her unborn kids

[Verse 3]
A      Bm7/E              C#m       Bm7/E
Melanie, looks a lot like Bethany
                     A       Bm7/E
She looks a lot like Tiffany
                     C#m    Bm7/E
She looks a lot like Natalie

[Bridge]
              A           Bm7            C#m             Bm7
They ought to put you away 'cause you're too good-looking
              A                Bm7 C#m                      Bm7
They ought to put you in chains, before you get your hooks in
              A                               Bm7
They ought to smack you around, they ought to cut off your tongue
              C#m                      Bm7
They ought to shave off your eyebrows, send you to a nun
              A                             Bm7
They ought to get you a job 'cause you have too much fun
              C#m                  Bm7
They ought to carve you in marble, sell you by the ton, oh

[Chorus]
A   Bm7   C#m Bm7
Melanie,  Melanie
A   Bm7   C#m Bm7
Melanie,  Melanie

[Outro]
A  Bm7  C#m  Bm7
A  Bm7  C#m  Bm7
