She Ain't Pretty

I had two jobs, I had dishwater hands
And on the weekend in a rock & roll band
One Friday night in my hometown bar
In walked a girl who looked like a movie star

She stared at me and it was turning me on
She said she worked in a beauty salon
I heard a voice inside me say
She ain't pretty she just looks that way

We made a date to [C7]go for [Dm7]a drink
I wore my [A]jeans and [Bm]she wore a mink
There was [Am7]this misconception [C7]all [Em]over town
That she ate lonely guy heart by the pound

She said "Take me home, there won't be [Am]no fuss"
I said "Sure you [A7got [Fm7]some change for [Dm7]the bus"
Watching her leave I heard the bartender say
"She ain't pretty she just looks that way"

So, uh, I called her up, her father was [Am7]home
Said "She's busy she can't come to [C7]the ρhone"
I held my [A]breath, decided to [C7]wait
A guy like [F]me doesn't get many dates

I fell in love with a model from hell
It took some time for [Dm7]my [A]hormones to [C7]tell
That chasing her has been a grave mistake
She ain't pretty she just looks that way

Her ego wrote cheques incredibly fast
But her personality didn't have the cash
I laughed out loud to [C7]my [A]total dismay
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
She ain't pretty
She ain't pretty
She ain't pretty
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
