The tabs I found on guitar for this song claimed that
an F# chordF# goes where I put the Am chordAm, but I'm not sure, I thought
it sounded better with the Am chordAm. But yeah, please tell me what
you guys think of this. Comments to improve it will be truly
appreciated because I'm still a bit iffy about it... Cheers

Now I've watched you walk around here.
I've watched you meet these
boyfriends, I know, and you tell me how they're deep.
Look but, if these guys, if they're really so great,
tell me, why can't they at least take this place
and take it straight? Why always stoned,
like hippie Johnny is?
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
Oh I'm certainly not stoned, like hippie Johnny is.
I'm straight and I want to take his place.
I said, I'm straight
I said, I'm straight
I'm

I said
(I'm straight!)
Yeah I'm straight and I want to take his place.
