Em               D                Em
I'm shedding my velvet, can't you see?
Em                D
This is the real me
Em                   D                   Em
I'm not as bad as I was, but I'm not as good
Em        D           Em D Em
As I can be, as I can be

Em                 D                        Em
Think horses, not zebras when you hear the sound
Em                 D
Of hooves on the ground
Em               D                 Em
You are a heliotrope who loves the sun
Em                      D    Em
As it goes 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round

Em
The noblesse oblige you sense is mine
When I convey my lines
                            D
"Better to illuminate than merely to shine"
Em                       D            Em
You say this all the time and you're right

Em
"Better to illuminate than merely to shine"
You say this all the time and you're right
