Capo 1
[Intro]
E   G   B   A
E   G   B   A
[Verse 1]
In Enatural selection
I've aGvoided all detection
And the Btender bits underneathA  
EAll with window dressing and
GCalculated guessing
And a Bbark bigger than my teeth
[Chorus]
It was the Asuit that got me the Egig
It was the Atear that got me the Egirl
I'm a F#msheep in this wolf's Bclothing
I'm a F#mpicture that I'm Bholding
                       EN.C.
Of someone who is cool
[Verse 2]
ESoul like a thimble
GSwallowed up in symbols
BWanting what I don't needA  
If Esympathy's the answer
I'll have Gtemporary cancer
But thaBt's not what I'll have you believe
[Chorus]
'Cause it was the Asuit that got me the Egig
It was the Atear that got me the Egirl
I'm a F#msheep in this wolf's Bclothing
I'm a F#mpicture that I'm Bholding
Of someone who is EcoolF#7  
Someone who is AcoolE  
Of someone who is EcoolF#7  
Someone who is AcoolE  
[Solo]
E   F#7   A   E
E   F#7   A   E
[Verse 3]
EClose but kind of meatless
Like Gactors who play Jesus
In Bmovies of the weekA  
What Eother people wish for
GOozes from my every pore
I'm Bthe coffee, not the sleep
[Chorus]
And I'm the Asong about the Esong
That onAce said something Enew
I'm a F#mscandal that's unBfolding
I'm a F#mpicture that I'm Bholding
It was the Asuit that got me the Egig
(Someone who is cool...)
It was the Atear that got me the Egirl
(Someone who is cool...)
I'm a F#msheep in this wolf's Bclothing
(Someone who is cool...)
I'm a F#mpicture that I'm Bholding
Of someone who is EcoolF#7  
Someone who is AcoolE  
Of someone who is EcoolF#7  
Someone who is AcoolE  
[Outro]
E   F#7   A   E

Capo 1

[Intro]

E G B A

[Verse 1]

In natural selection

I've avoided all detection

B A

And the tender bits underneath

All with window dressing and

Calculated guessing

And a bark bigger than my teeth

[Chorus]

A E

It was the suit that got me the gig

A E

It was the tear that got me the girl

F#m B

I'm a sheep in this wolf's clothing

F#m B

I'm a picture that I'm holding

N.C.

Of someone who is cool

[Verse 2]

Soul like a thimble

Swallowed up in symbols

B A

Wanting what I don't need

If sympathy's the answer

I'll have temporary cancer

But that's not what I'll have you believe

[Chorus]

A E

'Cause it was the suit that got me the gig

A E

It was the tear that got me the girl

F#m B

I'm a sheep in this wolf's clothing

[Verse 3]

Close but kind of meatless

Like actors who play Jesus

B A

In movies of the week

What other people wish for

Oozes from my every pore

I'm the coffee, not the sleep

[Chorus]

A E

And I'm the song about the song

A E

That once said something new

F#m B

I'm a scandal that's unfolding

F#m B

I'm a picture that I'm holding

A E

It was the suit that got me the gig

(Someone who is cool...)

It was the tear that got me the girl

(Someone who is cool...)
