Not My Responsibility chords by Billie Eilish

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

♫ Intro:
Am Em
Am Em
Am



Spoken:
Em
Do you know me?
               Am
Really know me?
                  Em
You have opinions about my opinions
Am
About my music
                Em
About my clothes

About my body
            Am
Some people hate what I wear

Some people praise it
            Em
Some people use it to shame others

Some people use it to shame me
      Am
But I feel you watching

Always
    Em
And nothing I do goes unseen
                                              Am
So while I feel your stares, your disapproval or your sigh of relief

If I lived by them, I'd never be able to move
Em
Would you like me to be smaller, weaker, softer, taller?
          Am
Would you like me to be quiet?

Do my shoulders provoke you? Does my chest?
Em
Am I my stomach? My hips?

The body I was born with
Am
Is it not what you wanted?
                             Em
If I wear what is comfortable, I am not a woman
                    Am
If I shed the layers, I'm a slut
                                      Em
Though you've never seen my body, you still judge it

And judge me for it
    Am
Why?

We make assumptions about people based on their size
     Em
We decide who they are

We decide what they're worth
              Am
If I wear more, if I wear less

Who decides what that makes me, what that means?
      Em
Is my value based only on your perception?
                                        N.C.
Or is your opinion of me not my responsibility?
