Pretend To Be Nice Tab de uke por Josie And The Pussycats

# You'll notice I put the chords above the vowel sounds in the chorus rather than at the beginnings of words. This was intentional because the vocals are slightly syncopated during that part.

Verse 1:
        C
Well he looks at me with those innocent eyes
            Am
And says it looks like you're wearing some kind of disguise
             E
Because your hair sticks up, your shoes are untied
  Bb            F        Bb            F
I hope that you got that shirt at half price

          C
And every word I say falls flat on the floor
         Am
I try to tell a joke, he's heard it before
      E
And I don't think that I can take it no more
     Bb         F     Bb              F
He's driving me right out of my front door


Chorus:
C           G           E        F
Why do you do what you do to me baby
C           G           E          F
Shaking my confidence driving me crazy
    C          G           E         F
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
G
Please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you

C         G       F
Can't you just pretend to be nice
      C      G        F
Could you at least pretend to be nice
   C         G       F
If you could just pretend to be nice
     G
Well everything in my life would be alright


Break:
C                   G
Ooh whee, ooh whee, Ooh whee, ooh whee
E                F
Ooh whee, ooh hooooooooo
C                   G
Ooh whee, ooh whee, Ooh whee, ooh whee
E                F
Ooh whee, ooh hooooooooo
C                   G
Ooh whee, ooh whee, Ooh whee, ooh whee
E                F        C
Ooh whee, ooh hooooooooo, hooooooooo


Verse 2:
      C
And I try so hard just to figure him out
             Am
But he won't tell me what he's thinking about
            E
And then he falls asleep on the living room couch
         Bb         F          Bb             F
With his sunglasses on and his tongue hanging out

            C
And then he disappears for a week at a time
            Am
And then he shows up just like everything's fine
E
I don't get what goes on in his mind
        Bb       F           Bb          F
But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid lines


Chorus:
C           G           E        F
Why do you do what you do to me baby
C           G           E          F
Shaking my confidence driving me crazy
    C          G           E         F
You know if I could I'd do anything for you
G
Please don't ignore me cause you know I adore you

    C         G       F
But can't you just pretend to be nice
      C      G        F
Could you at least pretend to be nice
   C         G       F
If you could just pretend to be nice
G
Everything in my life would be alright


Break:
C                   G
Ooh whee, ooh whee, Ooh whee, ooh whee
E             F
Ooh whee, ooh hooooooooo
C                   G
Ooh whee, ooh whee, Ooh whee, ooh whee
E             F
Ooh whee, ooh hooooooooo
C                   G
Ooh whee, ooh whee, Ooh whee, ooh whee
E             F           C
Ooh whee, ooh hooooooooo, hooooooooo
