D

[Verse 1]
---------------------
D             G                    D
 You think we look pretty good together
             G                    D
You think my shoes are made of leather

[Pre-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
          Em        G D    Em        G D  Em          G    D      Em            G D
But I'm a substitute  for another guy   I look pretty tall but my heels are high
    Em                G       D   Em      G  D
The simple things you see are all complicated
  Em          G      D       Em       G     D A
I look pretty young, but I'm just backdated,  yeah

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
D     A/D      G     D
Substitute your   lies for fact
  D         A/D         G        D
I see right through your   plastic mac
  D              A/D      G        D
I look all white,   but my   dad was black
   D           A/D        G             D
My finelooking suit is really made out of sack

[Verse 2]
---------------------
D                  G                D
 I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
                            G                            D
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south

[Pre-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
            Em          G  D  Em       G D      Em        G     D       Em       G
And now you dare to look me in  the eye   Those crocodile tears are what  you cry
D      Em      G  D        Em         G D   Em             G       D    Em         G
It's a genuine problem, you  won't try   To work it out at all you just pass it by, 
    D   A
pass it by

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
D     A/D G   D
Substitute   me for him
D     A/D    G        D
Substitute my   coke for gin
D     A/D     G      D
Substitute you   for my mum
   D          A/D   G        D
At least I'll get my   washing done

                            G                            D
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south

I look all white,   but my   dad was black
   D           A/D        G             D
My finelooking suit is really made out of sack
