Mr. Personality

Chilled out, Jack Johnson-ish.  More pop than rock.  This song is meant to be funny in a self-loathing, sarcastic kind of way.  Try to feel it in 2 rather than 4.  If you are swinging left to right when you play, instead of bouncing up and down, you’ve got it right.

 

 

Intro – [E, Dbm7, A, B] x 2

Verse 1 

E       Dbm7  A     B E       Dbm7  A     B

Here I am, Mr. Personality

I cross my eyes, and of course I dot my t’s

I try to hard to make amends

I’m surprised I still have any friends

I’m Mr. Personality Hooray! Whoopee!

Confidence, coincidence – you must have caught me when I’m drunk

I’ll hide behind this big guitar, if you stay right where you are 

 

Verse 2 

It’s true that I’m a mess

And you’ll find that I’m obsessed

With a-misery, yeah dee dee, yea dee dee

Yeah, that’s me, that’s me, that’s me. Yeah.
