Ramones - Substitute: chords

D             G           A      D
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather

           E     D        E      D
But I'm a substitue for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
   E           D             E         D     A
I look pretty young but I'm just back-dated yeah

Chorus:
        D     A    G        D
It's a substitute lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mad
I look all white but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made of sack

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The North side of my town faced East and
the east was facing South

And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem you won't try
To work it out at all, just pass it by, pass it by

Chorus:
Substitute me for him
Substitute my Coke for gin
Substitute you for my Mum
At least I'll get my washing done

I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young but I'm just back dated, yeah

I was born with a plastic spoon in my mout
The North side of my town faced East
and the east was facing South

Chorus:
Substitute me for him
Substitute my Coke for gin
Substitute you for my Mum
At least I'll get my washing done

Substitute your lies for facts
I see right through your plastic mac
I look all white but my dad was black
My brand new suit's really made out of sack
