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
