  A
Frissy hair and glasses
        D            A
At the back of the class
     A                        E
You made fun of me on Friday nights

       A
I was down there in the band
             D
And you were up there in the stands
               A
And now who's voted
      E
Most likely
               A
To hate their life,

Chorus:
         D
You got fat, I got famous
            A
Ain't that funny how it changes
          E
You made fun of me for years
       A
I get paid to sing my songs
         D
I got a headline gig in Austin
            A
You got a closet drinkin' problem
       E
And a juvenile delinquent
      A
Souvenier from senior prom
         D
I got a Budweiser endorsement
          A              F#
You're refinancing your mortgage
          Bm
How's it feel to make those payments
         E              A    E A E A
You got fat, and I got famous

You cheated off my papers
And ignored me in the hall
And drove a daddy's money Mustang around town
I drove a rusty pile of tin
That you loved to go by me in
It looks a lot like that heap you're driving now

Chorus:
You got fat, I got famous
Ain't that funny how it changes
You made fun of me for years
I get paid to play my songs
I got a headline gig in Austin
You got a prayer-chain gossip column
And a pack of crappy friends
And an ass just like your mom
My guitar player says I'm sexy
I strum his Tele, when he lets me
It's a bitch the way life changes
You got fat and I got famous

 D
Woo hoo,
That was the night I found out
      A                         F#       Bm E A
That karma and gravity are the same thing

                D
'Cause I got a Budweiser endorsement
          A              F#
You'er refinancing your mortgage
            Bm
Ain't it a bitch the way life changes
                E                   A B D A
'Cause you got fat, and I got famous
