G    G    C    G    G    C    G
People Gtalking, think I'm all Gright

And if tEmhey only knew

I'm jDust a good pretCender in a great disGguise

Keep 'eGm guessin', keep 'eGm laughin', build that Gwall up high
As long Cas they don't see the other sidGeC

Done a Gnumber, a number Gon my soul
But I'lCl be damned if I ever let you Amknow
