[Verse 1]
C#m7 Emaj7
I'm sick of hearing songs

About the boy who was ignored

And the girls who did him wrong
C#m7 Emaj7
They said that he was shy
Amaj9
And they claimed he wasn't manly

Oh how that made him cry
Amaj9
But now he's rich and famous
Emaj7
Such a pity ain't it
Amaj9 F#m9 Ebm7add11 Ab7
They missed their opportunity to catch a rising star
Amaj9
And to me it seems obnoxious
Emaj7 F#9
Mr. Singer are you not just insecure?
And now you're singin'...
[Chorus]

Why'd they have to be so superficial

Mr. Folds can take a pass

'Cuz that dwarf was so damn angry

When he said to kiss his ass

You know I'd kiss the man myself
Amaj9 F#m9
But little Ben can get away with shit
Ebm7add11 Ab7
That can't nobody else
Amaj9
So for all the other losers
Emaj7/B
The beggars now the choosers
Amaj9 F#m9 Ebm7add11 Ab7
Who'd have thought that you would be the coolest kid in class?
Amaj9
And you're laughing in their faces

Cause the nice guys don't always finish last
And now you're singing...
[Chorus 2]

[Bridge]
C#maj7 F#m
Who are you to say that she's not better off?
Cmaj7/Ab Eb9
She could be married with some children to a doctor in Vermont
F#maj9 Fm7
And if you're thinking 'bout these girls, It's hypocritical
F#m7 B7
You're not out of their league if you're still stuck in their world
[Verse 3]
C#m7 Emaj7/B
And if things for me go well
Amaj9 F#m9
You know I'll thank those who have helped me
Ebm7add11 Ab7
And I won't punish no one else
Amaj9
Cause I don't need your damn regret
Emaj7
I might forgive, I might forget
F#9
Cause I'm the bigger man...
Except to maybe say go fuck yourself, so
[Chorus 3]

Why'd they have to be so superficial
