LEAD-IN: E B F#7 B B
E E B B
When you said goodbye I knew I'd miss
F#7 F# B B
your bedroom eyes an' your ruby lips,
E E G#m G#
for I couldn'ave known that soon I'd find
C# C# F#
a woman so like you, but kind:
CHORUS:
B B
She's a lot like you only nicer -
B F#
same looks, less attitude.
F# F#
All of our old crowd likes her,
F# B
they'd think it's you but she's in a good mood.
B B
She looks so similar sometimes,
B7 E
even I gotta look twice.
E B
But she wears her beauty on the inside too
F#7 B F#7
she's a lot like you, only nice.
Ain't it odd how she's just got the best
of your qualities an' not the rest -
she got your smile, your eyes, and your golden hair
without your guile, your lies, and your cold hard stare.
CHORUS:
She's a lot like you only sweeter -
all the love an' none of the spite.
Whenever our old friends meet her,
they think it's you 'til she treats 'em all right
She looks so similar sometimes,
even I gotta look twice.
But she wears her beauty on the inside too
she's a lot like you, only nice.
B
She got your tender skin
G#m7
- but with tenderness within -
B
on the curves I love so much
G#m7
- hers welcome my touch -
E
an' the same sweet kissin'
C#m7
- with the mean streak missin'.
B
Her voice just rings
G#m7
- but she says kind things.
F# E
Her eyes of blue ain't as cold as ice,
B ( B F# )
she's a lot like you, only nice.
CHORUS 2nd half ending:
She looks so similar sometimes,
even I gotta look twice.
But she wears her beauty on the inside too
she's a lot like you, only nicer.
She's a lot like you, only nice.
