 F#         D#m
Safety pins holding up the things
      B       G#m
That make you mine
 F#                   D#m
About your hair, you needn't care
          B                G#m
You look beautiful all the time

Chorus:
G#       C#         F#     C#
Shine, shine, shine on... yes
G#          C#         F# C#
Won't you shine, shine on

Your magazines rip people at the seams
But you still read
I must admit, I don't believe in it
But I see how you get sucked in

Chorus - x2

C#                     Fm
Because you're not done
G#         F#                  C#
Why do you bite the hand that feeds you, why do you
G#          F#                 Fm
Why do you bite the hand that feeds you

Chorus - x2

Safety pins holding up the things
That make you mine
About your hair, you needn't care
You look beautiful all of the time
