Capo 4
*Palm mute
[Intro]
G*
[Verse 1]
G*                            D*              
I want to be remembered by the work that I’ve done
Cadd9*
Want my name to reside on the front of the mind
G*                              D*
And the tip of the tongue
G*                             D*
And I want the attention of the powers that be
Cadd9*             
Want them fighting with each other
G*                                       D*
Over who’s gonna get to work with me
Cadd9I want to leave the stage with them on their feet
DAt a sold out show
Cadd9And I’d do just about anything to Dmake it so
[Chorus]
GBut I don’t wBmanna wear those skCinny jeans
GSo mBmaybe there’s no hCope for me
GI don’t waBmnna wear those skiCnny jeans
MEmaybe it’s Djust not meant Gto be
[Verse 2]
G*                                  D*
Still I want to be content with just doing my best
Cadd9*                                         G*               D* 
I wanna be taken seriously without having to shave my chest
Cadd9And I wanna hang out with celebrities
DWho are singing my songs
Cadd9But apparently my strategy is failing me
DAnd I think I know what’s wrong
[Chorus]
GBut I don’t wBmanna wear those skCinny jeans
GSo mBmaybe there’s no hCope for me
GI  on’t waBmnna wear those skiCnny jeans
EmHow cDan they even breGathe--Bm-------C----
I guess that’s why tDhey sing up here
You’re beautiful
[Solo]
 G   Bm           Cx2
[Verse 3]
G*                                D*
Now a man of conviction, that’s not who I am
C*                          G*             D*
I fold like origami every chance I get  
G*                               D*
But sooner or later everybody’s got to draw the line
So man, haCnd me your eyeliner pencil
GI’ll show you where I draw miDne
[Chorus]
GBut I don’t wBmanna wear those skCinny jeans
GSo mBmaybe there’s no hCope for me
GI  don’t wBmanna wear those skCinny jeans
TEmhose women’s jeanDs
GAre not for me  G
