capo-3rd
standard tuning
(Em, C9, G, D)(just repeats)
What you got, what you got, what you got, what you got
(Em)                        (C9)                         (Em)
I'm looking around trying to find me one original thing
               (C9)                                    (Em)
Cause I've been walkin so long it feels just like these heels are gonna
     (C9)
break, yeah
(Em)
But everyone's looking at TV screens
(C9)                     (Em)
At wannabees who just imitate
           (C9)
But I don't wanna be that way
(D)
You're faking every word
                         (C9)
Just wanna hear yourself talk
                                                      (D)
But when the cameras are off you don't say nothing at all
                                                      (C9)
I'm searching both for diamonds hidden in a pile of stones
Oh, I, need
(Em, C9, G, D)(just repeats quick down 
to song for rythms)
One original thing
Baby, I need an original thing
Something unusual to give me some wings
Show me one true original thing
Yeah, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got,what you got,
What you got
(Em)                                 (C9)                             (Em)
I'm flipping through channels but I'm still flipping thoughts in my mind
               (C9)                         (Em)            (C9)
How could it be that something so sweet is so hard to find, yeah
(Em)                                  (C9)                 (Em)
It seems like everyone's trying to be a model in a magazine
                 (C9)
It's no ride, no, it's just not right
(D)                                                  (C9)
You wanna talk about love, your to whip out your head
                                                     (D)
You wanna be at the top, you gotta learn how to stand
                                                           (C9)
You're looking both for me and looking for somebody who knows
Oh, I, need
(Em, C9, G, D)(same as before)
One original thing
Baby, I need an original thing
Something unusual to give me some wings
Show me one true original thing
Yeah, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got,what you got,
What you got
hey!
(C9)
(i need)
        (G)                (C9)                (D)
Something original, something original, original
(Em)
Oh,
(for this part there is a little drum bit with no guitar but u can use the Em, C9, G, D 
this too and then just continue with that)
oh yeah, yeah, yeah,
I need one original thing
Show me one true original thing
I need one original thing
Baby, I need an original thing
Something unusual, to give me some wings
Show me one true original thing
Yeah, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got, what you got,what you got,
