Timing is a bit strange on this song, loose and kind of funky, I'd recommend
playing along with the recorded version to get the hang of it.
Intro: C A
Verse 1:
Well, you can ch[C]ange your mind
If it ma[A]kes you feel fine
And you can s[C]cream and shout
If it ma[A]kes you feel happy, singing
[C]Oh yeah,[A] I left my baby
[C]Oh yeah, yeah,[A] baby[G]
Chorus:
[F]How come you've got to make a f[G]ool of me
When you k[C]now it's not t[C/B]rue to [Am]me[G]
[F]I don't know when or where you'll e[G]ver see
But your p[C]lan keeps fo[C/B]oling me[Am][G]
[F]How come you've got to make a f[G]ool of [Am]me[G]
[F]When all I ever seem to [G]do is sc[Am]ream[G]
[F]You go and try to make a f[G]ool of m[C]e
[C]Oh ye[F]ah
Bridge 1:
[C]I've got a movie[F] playing in my m[C]ind[F]
[C]I've got some money[F] but it isn't m[C]ine[F]
[C]And if you wanna be a bummer, take a number,[F] baby, get in l[C]ine[F]
[C]'Cause it's a bummer in the summertime[F]
But everyone's gonna have a real good t[C]ime[F]
Oh yeah
Verse 2: (Same chords as verse 1)
Put your left hand out and shake it all about
'Cause it's arms and legs, bacon and eggs
And you can rearrange your mind if it makes you feel fine
And you can lose your faith if it puts you in your place
And you can chew on gum if it makes you have fun
And you can drink green soup on your way from the kitchen
My roller skates are bchin'
Chorus:
How come you've got to make a fool of me
When you know it's not true to me
How come you gotta go and step on my heart
When you know that's no way to start
How come you've got to make a fool of me
When all I ever seem to do is scream
You go and try to make a fool of me
Oh yeah
Bridge 2:
I've got the movies and the discotheque inside my mind
All the time, all night
I'm feelin' groovy on another one's dime
And if you wanna be the all-time bummer of the summertime
Then baby, why don't you keep whining all night
Because you're freaking me out and bringing down everyone's vibes
Oh yeah
[Cm]End[Bb] on[Gm] C[F][Ab]
