[Intro 1]
[G][F][Eb][C][G]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]Well,
if you don't like it, go ahead
[C]Find yourself a saint, go ahead now
[G]Try to find a boy who's [C]gonna
Be what I ain't
Now what you [G]need is

[Verse 2]
[Em]
[E]A plastic doll with a f[G]resh
coat of paint
Who's gonna [E]sit through the madness
[Em]And alwa[G]ys acts so quaint
I said yeah, yeah, yeah
[C]

[Verse 3]
Well, [G]with your new friend
You're [C]really making a scene
And I see you [G]bouncin' around
From ma[C]chine to machine
And you [G]know

[Verse 4]
[Em]they're
[E]never real
[Em]They're [G]never what they seem
And you can [Em]try to gener
[E]ate some warmth
[Em]And you see [G]just what I mean,
I said yeah, yeah
[C]Yeah

[Verse 5]
And If I'm [G]acting like a king
Well, that's [C]cause I'm a human being
And if I [G]want too many things
Don't you know [C]that
I'm a human being
And if [G]I've got to dream
Baby, baby, [C]yeah, I'm a human being
And when it [G]gets a bit
[C]obscene (whoa!)
I'm a human being

[Verse 6]
And I've just gotta go [Em]around[E]
With my head hung down
[G]Just like a human being,
oh no, human [Em]being
[E]I can hold my head so h[Em]igh
[G]Because I'm a human,
a riff- raff human [C]being

[Verse 7]
Why won't you [G]give me a little sip
Why don't you try me on a
[C]drag of that cigarette
Why don't [G]you try to give me something
That [C]I will never ever forget

[Verse 8]
But [C]now [E]don't you blow it all
On a mil[G]lion dollar bet
Because [Em]you're [E]liable to lose it
On [Em]the bes[G]t lovin' you've had yet
I'm beggin, yeah- [C]yeah- yeah

[Verse 9]
Oh [C]yeah, and If I'm [G]acting like a king
Well, that's [C]'cause I'm a human being
I [G]want too many things
Don't you know [C]that
I'm a human being
And if [G]I've got to dream
I said [C]well, I'm a human being
And when it [G]gets a bit obscene
[C](whoa- woo!)
I'm a human being

[Verse 10]
And I've just gotta go [C]around[E][Em]
With my head hung down
[G]Just like a human, says, oh no, human [Em]being
I can hold my head so high
[G]'Cause I'm a human,
a riff- raff human [C]being

[Verse 11]
In fact I'm talkin' 'bout [G]the human
race
You're trying to cover
up the [C]big disgrace
I said yeah- yeah- [G]yeah, wow!
[C]C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon,

[Interlude 1]
c'mon!
[G][C][G][C][G]
[Em][G][Em][G]

[Verse 12]
Said [C]yeah- yeah, oh yeah
Well, [G]I may think that this whole scene
Is [C]just a too appalling for me
Or I [G]may be the type who's
just a mad about
[C]Every little thing that I see

[Verse 13]
But I [Em]can [E]color that with history
[Em]Or make it just [G]what I want it to be
While [Em]I'm blowing [E]my change
on the fan magazines
With all the [G]Hollywood refugees
Screaming, "Yeah- yeah- yeah,
[C]oh yeah"

[Verse 14]
And If I'm [G]acting like a king
I said, [C]"Well, I'm a human being"
And if I [G]want too many things
Don't you know, well,
[C]I'm a human being
And [G]I've got to dream,
baby baby, [C]baby
I'm a human being
And when it [G]gets a bit obscene,
woo- woo- [C]woo!
I'm a human being
[G]

[Verse 15]
[C]
I'm a human [G]being[C]
I'm a human [G]being[C]
I'm a human [G]being[C]

[Outro 1]
I'm a human being
