“Pretend To Be Nice” by Josie and the Pussycats Tabbed and arranged by Alex Nennig ([email protected]) (Verses are distorted, played with staccato chopping) 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 and your shoes are untied, A# F A# F And I hope 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 but he's heard it before, E And I don't think I can take it no more, A# F A# F Cause he's driving me right out of my front door, 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, (clean) C G F Can't you just pretend to be nice, C G F Can you at least pretend to be nice, C G F If you could just pretend to be nice, (distorted) G Everything in my life would be alright, C G E F Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh C G E F Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh C wee oooh 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, A# F A# 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 And I don't get what goes on in his mind, A# F A# F But I'm tired of hearing the same stupid line, 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, (clean) C G F Can't you just pretend to be nice, C G F Can you at least pretend to be nice, C G F If you could just pretend to be nice, (distorted) G Everything in my life would be alright, C G E F Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh C G E F Oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh wee oooh C wee oooh (For the solo, the backing chords are the same as the verse chords only they are all moved up two frets.
