[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(2) 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(2), D, D(2)
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(2), D, D(2)
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)
