[Verse 1]
D A
In a coffee shop in a city
D G
Which is every coffee shop
D A D
In every city, on a day which is every day
D A
I picked up a magazine
D G
Which is every magazine
D A D
Read a story then I forgot it right away
 
Bm A
They say goldfish have no memory
D G
I guess their lives are much like mine
Bm A
And the little plastic castle
D G
Is a surprise every time
Bm A
And it's hard to say if they're happy
D G
But they don't seem much to mind
G
(Yee-haw)
D A D G

[Verse 2]
D A
From the shape of your shaved head
D G
I recognized your silhouette
D A D
As you walked out of the sun and sat down
D A
And the sight of your sleepy smile
D G
Eclipsed all the other people
D A D
As they paused to sneer at the two girls from out of town
 
Bm A
And I said, "Look at you this morning
D G
You are by far the cutest
Bm A
But be careful getting coffee
D G
I think these people want to shoot us
Bm A
Or maybe there's some kind of local competition here
D G
To see who can be the rudest"
G
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
D A D G
D A D G
D A D G
D A D
 
[Verse 3]
D A
People talk about my image
D G
Like I come in two dimensions
D A D
Like lipstick is a sign of my declining mind
D A
Like what I happen to be wearing
D G
The day that someone takes a picture
D A D
Is my new statement for all womankind
 
Bm A
And I wish they could see us now
D G
In leather bras and rubber shorts
Bm A
Like some ridiculous new team uniform
D G
For some ridiculous new sport
Bm A
Quick someone call the girl police
D G
And, and file a report
G
(Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, uh)
D A D G
D A D
 
[Outro]
D A
In a coffee shop in a city
D G
Which is every coffee shop
D A D
In every city, on a day which is every day
