Verse 1:
C majorC Bb6Bb6 G minorGm
I've been thinking about when I was
E minorEm
trying to be your friend
Dm6Dm6
I thought it was then, but it wasn't, it wasn't genuine
C majorC Bb6Bb6
I was just so furious but I couldn't
G minorGm
show you
E minorEm
'Cause I know you and I know what you can do
Dm6Dm6
And I don't wanna war with you, I won't afford it
You get sore even when you win
Verse 2:
C majorC Bb6Bb6
And you maim when you're on offense
G minorGm
But you kill when you're on defense
E minorEm
And you've got them all convinced
Dm6Dm6
That you're the means and the end
All the VIPs and PYTs and wannabes
Afraid of not being your friend
Verse 3:
C majorC Bb6Bb6
And I've always been too smart for that
G minorGm
But you know what? My heart was not
E minorEm
I took it like a kid, you see
Dm6Dm6
The cool kids voted to get rid of me
And I'm ashamed of what they did to me
What I let get done
It stole my fun, it stole my fun

C majorC Bb6Bb6
While I had not yet found my bearings
G minorGm E minorEm
Those it girls hit the ground
Dm6Dm6
Comparing the way I was to the way she was
Sayin' I'm not stylish enough and I cry too much
C majorC
And I listened because I hadn't found
Bb6Bb6
my own voice yet
G minorGm E minorEm
So all I could hear was the noise that
Dm6Dm6
People make when they don't know sh*t
But I didn't know that yet
Verse 5:
C majorC Bb6Bb6
I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill

I got the idea I wasn’t real

I thought being blacklisted would be
E minorEm
grist for the mill
Dm6Dm6
Until I realized I'm still here (I'm still here)

I grew up in the shoes they told me I could fill

Shoes that were not made for running up that hill

I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
