[Intro]

[Couplet]

if you try to be an icon

then the icon becomes you

if you try to be a model

it'll catwalk over you

if you try to walk in straight shoes

then these shoes will bend you too

if you try to be a kid again

the kid will kidnap you

[Refrein]

you know it's true

E Am

the guy you know well that's just you

F C

and there is nothing you can do

E Am

just like a door you can't get through

when there is no-one left to fool

don't go and drown in that old pool

don't kid yourself

[Couplet]

so don't try to be an icon

con the I inside of you

that picture you've been painting

doesn't look a thing like you

I'll agree that it's a nice try

but when your paint is dry

we are all just little icons

super you and super I

[Refrein]

you know it's true

E Am

the guy you know well that's just you

F C

and there is nothing you can do

don't kid yourself

I need someone to show me

just what I threw away

I need a pretty angel

to present it on a tray

you've never liked the icon

said that guy looked pretty strange

but you've never tried to change me

and that's how came to change

[Refrein]

you know it's true

E Am

the guy you know well that's just you

F C

and there is nothing you can do

E Am

just like a door you can't get through

when there is no-one left to fool

don't go and drown in that old pool

don't kid yourself

when there is no-one left to fool

don't go and drown in that old pool

don't kid yourself
