A                              D
I had two jobs I had dishwater hands
A                       E          A    (fill 1)
And on the weekend in a rock & roll band
A                               D
One Friday night in my hometown bar
A                                  E      A
In walked a girl who looked like a movie star
D                           E         A
She stared at me and it was turning me on
D                        F#     B
She said she worked in a beauty salon
A                        D
I heard a voice inside me say
A                          (E)
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
intro riff (once)
(A)                          D
We made a date to go for a drink
A                   E          A    (fill 1)
I wore my jeans and she wore a mink
A                                     D
There was this misconception all over town
     A                  E            A
That she ate lonely guy heart by the pound
         D                   E           A
She said "Take me home there won't be no fuss"
D                         F#             B
I said "Sure you got some change for the bus"
A                                         D
Watching her leave, I heard the bartender say
A                          (E)        A
"She ain't pretty she just looks that way"

(fill 1)
A(pm)
I called her up her father was home
Said "She's busy she can't come to the phone"
I held my breath, decided to wait
                       E       A
A guy like me doesn't get many dates
D                     E          A
I fell in love with a model from hell
D                        F#          B
It took some time for my hormones to tell
A                                 D
That chasing her has been a grave mistake
A                         E          A
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
D                      E         A
Her ego wrote cheques incredibly fast
D                   F#      B
But her personality didn't have the cash
A                               D
I laughed out loud to my total dismay
A                         (E)       (A)
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
A                 G
She ain't pretty
A                 G
She ain't pretty
F#  D   C   G
(A)                                      A / /
She ain't pretty she just looks that way
