BUY ME A PONY
Don't you wanna be a personality
an ocean in the sea
But you'll never make it if you can't shake it
so don't mistake it
just try and fake it
And I want you to know you don't have far to go
so we'll use all your dough
to buy new clothes
and see what flows
and powder your nose for those photos
You're almost on your way to popularity
and we'll teach you to play with icy stare
and punk rock hair
and beatnik flair we'll take you there
'Cause there's nobody else like you
and we sure care just what you're doing
after we have gone our separate ways
So don't you want to be a big time entity
your place in history
But don't be scared of what we said
'cause there's no end to being your friend
But wait out in the hall
we just recieved a call
we'll have to dump you all
But don't you try to pass us by
'cause we own you until we're through
And there's so many round like you
and we don't care just what you're doing
after we have gone our separate ways

This is a pretty damn good song and one of the best off their new
album. They use some weird timing in some parts of the song.
Intro: {x3}
* *
|----5----5----5----5----|
|----5----5----5----5----|
|----7----7----7----7----|
|----7----7----7----7----|
|----5----5----5----5----|
|----5----5----5----5----|
Important: The first two strums are downwards and after that there
is a pause and the next two strums (marked with an *)are up.
Then the song goes straight into a few chords for the verse. It should
be easy for you to figure out the strumming for this so I will just give
you them.
verse
|----5----8-----3----|
|----5----8-----3----|
|----7----10----5----|
|----7----10----5----|
|----5----8-----3----|
|----5----8-----3----|
Play through these chords three times and then into the next bit where
Kram starts singing a little faster. This is where the timing starts
getting weird so I'll just give you what I think the chords are.
other bit
|------5------5------|
|------5------8------|
|------7------7------|
|------7------5------|
|------5------5------|
|------5------5------|
In the chorus where Kram is singing 'And there's no one else like..'
I'm not sure yet what is happening there.
So the song is played like:

Because there's nobody else like you and me
