[Intro] (x2)
G, Gmaj7, Gmaj7(2)

D, D, D

Cadd9(2), Gmaj7, Gmaj7(2)

[Verse 1]
G                     D
  Some people are just all show
      F9add11                  Cadd9
Well, I don't mind that if the show is worth watching
        G            D
But it's all bark and no tree
F9add11                       Cadd9
    What's more ironic than a hippie in Versace?
        G                  D
It's all peace and love and limousines
    F9add11                        Cadd9
You got the right message, but the wrong intentions
            G                          D
How can you be touchy-feely when you've lost touch?
F9add11                          G
     I think it's time we had a little intervention with you

[Chorus]
Cadd9  G    Cadd9  D
  Hey  now, wake   up
    Cadd9  G  Cadd9  D
And lose  the make   up
    Cadd9            G
She makes you wanna know her
        Cadd9                 D D
When you don't know what it's worth
        Cadd9          G
Now you really wanna show her
               Cadd9  G/B    Dsus4
How she's just so    down to Earth, via satellite

[Instrumental]
G, Gmaj7, Gmaj7(2)

D, D, D

Cadd9(2), Gmaj7, Gmaj7(2)

[Verse 2]
There's no better friends than the, the kind you pay
If they don't balance, great - then the door will keep revolving
It's a tight circle of the chosen few
Well, how'd you manage that with the recipe involving
Just a pinch of sweetness and a cup of angst?
Mix it all up - you're the all-purpose flour
Though it looks delicious, something smells bad
I don't think I'd last a half an hour with you

[Chorus]
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth, via satellite

[Bridge]
Cadd9      G       F9add11(2) F9add11
 What's it like to love       you
            Cadd9    G     F9add11(2) F9add11
When there's no one else above        you
   Cadd9   G        F9add11(2) F9add11
And no one gets to know        you?
    Cadd9         G      F9add11(2)  Am
Well, who'll be there to show       you, via satellite?

[Instrumental]
G, Gmaj7, Gmaj7(2)

D, D, D

Cadd9(2), Gmaj7, Gmaj7(2)

[Verse 3]
It's like making love to a TV
It's kinda novel, but it's miles away from satisfying
Your hangers-on say it's a great deal
But what you're selling, there's no chance in hell that I'll be buying

[Chorus]
Hey now, wake up
And lose the makeup
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth
She makes you wanna know her
When you don't know what it's worth
Now you really wanna show her
How she's just so down to Earth (via satellite)
