Chorus:
What you see is what you get
(don't ya know)
 F#m
(Fishing for the answer
 A
with a line and sinker)
 D              Bm
Look at me and don't
forget (don't ya know)
 F#m
(Hard to get a grip with
            A
all these broken fingers)
  D              Bm
What you see is what
you get (don't ya know)
 F#m
(Fishing for the answer
 A
with a line and sinker)
 D              Bm
Look at me and don't
forget (don't ya know)
 F#m
(Hard to get a grip with
            A
all these broken fingers)

D        Bm
Today I don't feel pretty
F#m               A
And I'm tired of trying
             D
to fit right in
                 Bm
Don't think that you're so great
       F#m              A
Cause being great must suck
D
We don't always
Bm
see the bright side
F#m         A        D
We all need ego suicide
            Bm
You hung my head
          F#m
today But I have
           A
licked my wounds

            Em D
and carried on
A/C#          Bm               Em D
    Everybody needs some sympathy
A/C#                 Bm          Em D
    Santa seemed to miss my chimney
A/C#            Bm            Em D
    Reality is truly scaring me
A/C#                     Bm
    So stand up straight and firmly say

Chorus

My heart is in the right place
So wipe that smirk right off your face
Don't make me feel like that
Cause that's just plain not nice
We don't always see the bright side
And I lied when I said I was fine
You slapped my face today
But I have licked my wounds and carried on

Everybody needs some sympathy
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Reality is truly scaring me
So stand up straight and firmly say...

Chorus

Em         D
Everybody needs some sympathy
A/C#             Bm
Santa seemed to miss my chimney
Em            D
You stole my luck from me
A/C#    Bm
And now my fortune
            Em D
cookie's empty!
A/C#               Bm
Cause you came and you
                  Em D
stole it all from me!
A/C#
So stand up straight
Bm
and firmly say

Chorus
