[verse]
GYou know it really wont surprise me
If you'Bmre a wreck by the age of fourteen
The Cway you look
The way you look is Gfine
[verse]
So Goften colour coordinated
your Bmsister she's an Eighties fan
But Cthat's alright
Have I told you so is Gmine
[chorus]
BmYou say your life will be the Cdeath of you
Tell Bmme, do you wash your hair in Choney dew?
And Bmlong for all of them to fall in Clove with you
But they Gnever do
[verse]
GDrinking vodka on the fly
Your Bmmother has a watchful eye
So Clook out kid
She's onto you this Gtime
[verse]
GRun away to a bed and breakfast
ConBmsole yourself with the Reader's Digest
CRinging the Yellow Pages all Galone
[chorus]
BmYou say your life will be the Cdeath of you
Tell Bmme, do you wash your hair in Choney dew?
And Bmlong for all of them to fall in Clove with you
But they never GdoC  
No they never GdoD  
  G    Bm    C   Gx2
[chorus]
BmYou say your life will be the Cdeath of you
Tell Bmme, do you wash your hair in Choney dew?
And Bmlong for all of them to fall in Clove with you
But they never GdoC  
No they never GdoC  
GI'm gonna tell you something good Cabout yourself
GI'll say it now and I'll never say it Cabout no one else
