LYRICS
  C                       F
I tell you to wear sunscreen, 
               Am
But then I go and get burnt.
           C                              F
Don't stick the knife in the toaster, 
             Am
Oh you think I would have learnt.
  C                          F
I can’t believe that you are sick, 
                 Am
Don’t you read the best by date,
  C                        F
I know it was the creme burlee, 
                  Am
Cos that’s exactly what I ate, oh….


C                    F            Am
I'm extremely hypocritical,
  C                      F
I think that I am always right,
       Am
But I don't really know.
          C                      F
Don't tell me what to do,
           Am                            
But I'll make sure that I tell you, cos...
C                     F           Am
I'm extremely hypocritical.
               C
Hypocritical


Falling off a cliff,
The second time always hurts the worst
I say this with authority
Because i did it first.

Don't climb that tree,
But look and see
That’s how i broke my leg.
I yell and scream, 
Please look a me, 
I never loose my head, oh…

I'm extremely hypocritical,
I think that I am always right,
But I don't really know.
Don't tell me what to do,
But I'll make sure that I tell you, cos...
I'm extremely hypocritical.

Please tell me that you love me,
But I won't tell you the same.
This relationship has become a mess,
You're the only one to blame.

You think that I'm an idiot 
And I act like a fool,
Unfortunately that is
Absolutely positively true. 

G
Everybody acts like this, except for me cos I’m perfect
Everybody acts like this, except for me cos I’m perfect

I think that I am special
But I’m no different.
Ohhh
You think i would have learnt….
By now.

I’lI tell you not to do something
Then I go do the same.
The only explanation is 
That I am really lame

But I never admitted it no,
Cos that's just what i do
I just turn it all around 
And poke fun at you

Cos...

I'm extremely hypocritical,
I think that I am always right,
But I don't really know.
Don't tell me what to do,
But I'll make sure that I tell you, cos...
I'm extremely hypocritical.
