Oh (D)lord, it's hard to be humble,
When you're perfect in every (A)way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better looking each (D)day.
To know me is to love me,
I must be a hell of a (G)man,
Oh lord it's hard to be (D)humble,
But I'm (A)doing the best that I (D)can.

I (D)used to have a girlfriend,
But I guess she just couldn't (A)compete,
With all of these love starved women
Who keep clamoring at my (D)feet.
Well I prob'ly could find me another,
But I guess they're all in awe of (G)me,
Who cares, I never get (D)lonesome.
Cause I (A)treasure my own com(D)pany.

Oh (D)lord, it's hard to be humble,
When you're perfect in every (A)way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better looking each (D)day.
To know me is to love me,
I must be a hell of a (G)man,
Oh lord it's hard to be (D)humble,
But I'm (A)doing the best that I (D)can.

I (D)guess you could say I'm a loner,
A cowboy outlaw tough and (A)proud,
I could have lots of friends if I wanted,
But then I wouldn't stand out from the (D)crowd.
Some folks say that I'm egotistical,
Hell, I don't even know what that (G)means,
I guess it has something to (D)do with the way 
That I (A)fill out my skin tight blue (D)jeans.

Oh (D)lord, it's hard to be humble,
When you're perfect in every (A)way,
I can't wait to look in the mirror,
I get better looking each (D)day.
To know me is to love me,
I must be a hell of a (G)man,
Oh lord it's hard to be (D)humble,
But I'm (A)doing the best that I (D)can.
