Lyrics and Chords
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
/ D - G - D - - - / /
{Bridge 1}
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah
/ Em GD Em GD / / / Em GD Em G A AAsus4 A - /
{Refrain 1}
Substitute - your lies for fact
Substitute - I see right through your plastic mac
Substitute - I look all white but my dad was black
Substitute - my fine looking suit's really made out of sack
/ D A G D / / / /
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east
And the east was facing south
{Bridge 2}
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
If it's a genuine problem you won't try
To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by
{Refrain 2}
Substitute - me for him
Substitute - my Coke for gin
Substitute - you for my Mum
Substitute - at least I'll get my washing done
{Bridge 1}
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east
And the east was facing south
{Bridge 2, Refrain 2, Refrain 1}
