Verse 1
E Abm Bm Dm
Sharks follow my trail, and it won't be long
A C#m D2
They've fallen for the oldest trick in the book
Dm
It never goes wrong oh oh
A E
Mask and snorkel and a bottle of ketchup
F#m D
Oh those desperate old shark fins start to circle me in anger


Chorus
A E
Oh be clever not beautiful, oh be clever not beautiful
F#m D E A2
If your goal is plain survival well then be clever not beautiful


Verse 2
E Abm Bm Dm
Poets lock up your words, your tongues are all tied
A C#m D2
But let it read in every history book
Dm
That the poets all tried to
A E
Lull us with lilting, songs of a struggle
F#m D
To mountain up an ocean that we were something more than animals


Chorus
A E
Be clever not beautiful, be clever not beautiful
F#m D E C#m
If your goal is plain survival well then be clever not beautiful


Bridge
D F#m
Not like your face, as you roam in the garden
C#m D
Not as the earthworms gather beneath your feet
F#m E D E
You give it all away for free
F#m E D
As we sun our winter bellies in your spring


Instrumental
E Abm Bm Dm
A C#m D2 Dm


Chorus
A E
Ooh be clever not beautiful, be clever not beautiful
F#m D
If your goal is plain survival well then be clever not beautiful
A E
Oh be clever not beautiful oh be clever not beautiful
F#m D
If your goal is plain survival well then be clever
E A Ab F#m E
Not beautiful
D E A2
Be clever not beautiful
