Intro: Am

Couplet:
if you [Am]try to be an icon
then the [F]icon becomes you
if you [C]try to be a model
it'll [E]catwalk over you
if you [Am]try to walk in straight shoes
then these [F]shoes will bend you too
if you [C]try to be a kid again
the [E]kid will kidnap you

Chorus:
you know it's [C]true
the guy you [E]know well that's just [Am]you
and there is [F]nothing you can [C]do
just like a [E]door you can't get [Am]through
when there is [F]no-one left to fool
don't go and [E]drown in that old pool
don't kid your[Am]self

Couplet:

so don't try to be an icon
con the i inside of you
that picture you've been painting
doesn't look a thing like you
i'll agree that it's a nice try
but when your paint is dry
we are all just little icons
super you and super i

Refrein:
you know it's true...

Solo:

[Am] [F] [C]

Couplet:
i need someone to show me
just what i threw away
i need a pretty angel
to present it on a tray
you've never liked the icon
said that guy looked pretty strange
but you've never tried to change me
and that's how came to change

Refrein:
you know it's [C]true

and there is [F]nothing you can [C]do
just like a [E]door you can't get [Am]through

when there is [F]no-one left to fool
don't go and [E]drown in that old pool
don't kid your[Am]self
