Better Than Neil Music by Jed Whedon Lyrics by Joss Whedon and Jed Whedon Performed by Nathan Fillion Backing Vocals by Maurissa Tancharoen Horn Arrangements by Maurissa Tancharoen https://youtu.be/70hW8S7VqK4 [Intro]
GmHey Ladies, Sit down, relax CmI got a story to Bbtell...
[Verse 1]
CmEvery night I lie awake BbWith sorrow in my chest CmI think of NPH and wonder BbIs he getting rest? GmDoes he know each second CmHe’s only second best? EbTossing in his bed FWhat’s he wearing? Dread?
[Chorus]
BbI’m better GmBetter than Neil FIn so many ways EbIt’s almost unreal BbOh sure he can sing GmAnd piggies can squeal FIt’s not a big deal EbI’m better
[Verse 2]
CmSo he was on Broadway BbWhile I was on the soaps CmWho’s got the high score Bbon "Ninja Ropes" GmWho’s got a bullet-proof CmCar like the Pope’s? EbLook at Neil mackin’ FSo sad he’s so lackin’
[Verse 3]
CmHe makes seven figures BbAnd get Emmy nods CmI make seven layer Bean Bbdip of the gods GmI’m also in Halo 3 CmWhat are the odds? EbNow my ears are ringin’ F‘Cause all the girls are singin’
[Chorus]
BbI’m better GmBetter than Neil FAt so many things EbIt’s hard to conceal BbOh sure he does magic GmMagic’s not real FHow dumb do you feel? EbI’m better
[Verse 4]
CmNeil played a kid doctor BbWell, so did I, dude CmBut I was much younger BbAnd totally nude GmNeil kept that white coat on CmGreat Doctor Prude EbLook there Felicia goes FAnother deal you couldn’t close, yeah
[Verse 5]
CmI wink at a woman BbShe needs a drink - Stat! CmShe knows I get everything BbI’m aiming at GmExcept for the Pope car CmI lied about that EbAt least I’m not prone FTo singing alone
[Bridge]
Look at his Bbsmallness Compared to my Gmtallness My porcelain Cmdoll-ness My port-in-a-sFquallness My kids-in-the-BbHallness My Pink-Floyd’s Gm"The Wall"-ness My three parts of Cmgaulness My just all-in-aFllness My wonderful me-Bbness My hammer - the Fpeople can tDmell EbThat I’m awfully Dmswell EbWhile Neil has a weird Dmsmell EbI’m just saying: FPurell
[Chorus]
BbI’m better GmBetter than Neil FAt - where do I start? EbRomantic appeal BbWe both went for Penny GmAnd who copped a feel? FThe true man of steel EbI’m better than Neil
[Chorus]
BbYeah yeah yeah GmI’m better than Neil FJust jumped off a moving EbAutomobile BbHe plays with his phone GmWhile tires they squeal FIt’s my scene to steal EbI' m better than Neil
[Outtro]
