Intro: Am 

verse 1 

If you move into my life and take over my soul 
F                                         Am 
Charm all my friends and play the rescuer role 

Let me quit my job to go on your dole 
    F                     E              Dm 
And make your approval my ultimate goal 


verse 3 
                Am 
I will begin to shrink  
    Dm                  Am 
Back into the corner of my own skin 
     Dm                Am 
Until I'm so small and pink  
     Dm                          Am 
That no one would see me even if they got in 


verse 3 
     Dm                             Am 
Your enormous index finger would be probing to find me 
     Dm                             Am 
As I darted between the walls of my own personality 
               Dm                 Am 
Which would be changing as I left most of it behind me 
     Dm             E         B 
Disappearing into a new reality 


verse 4 
             Am 
And when you tried to trot me out to show me to your friends 
             F 
They'd say, "What girlfriend? We don't see any girlfriend" 
       Am 
As you open the door of your Mercedes Benz 
    F                                          E        Dm 
Now you've got the oyster you don't need the pearl when 


Verse 5 
                          Am 
You can have my beautiful smile 
     Dm                  Am 
That wonderfully elegant style 
Dm                      Am 
All my show business connections 
Dm                Am 
Both of my cats affections 


Verse 6 
    Dm                        Am 
The clothes you bought me are yours 
     Dm            Am 
That Timex watch endures 
   Dm                          Am 
My good relationship with your mom 
    Dm        E  
My ability to remain calm 


Verse 7 
    Am 
But here I'd be like a dead person looking down 
       F 
At the cemetery where they placed a stone 
       Am 
With a name on it like Jane Smith or John Brown 
       F                    E         Dm 
That I no longer recognized as my own 


Verse 8 
             Am                          Dm 
Hold me tight and I'll just shed my skin 
             E                 Am 
Slither away, no matter what's happening
