Verse:

I will paint my picture.  Paint myself in blue and red and black and gray
All of the beautiful colors are very, very meaningful
You know gray is my favorite color I felt so symbolic yesterday
If I knew Picasso I would buy myself a gray guitar and play

Chorus:   

Mr. Jones and me look into the future Stare at the beautiful women"
She's looking at you.  Uh, I don't think so.  She's looking at me.
"Standing in the spotlight I bought myself a gray guitar
When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely

Bridge:

 Am                            G
I will never be lonely I will never be lonely
Am                                            F
I want to be a lion.  Everybody wants to pass as cats
Am                                                                                        G
We All want to be big, big stars, but we got different reasons for that
Am                                                        F
Believe in me because I don't believe in anything
Am                                                                       G
And I want to be someone to believe, to believe, to believe.
