Mythologize Me chords by Eliza McLamb

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

🎸 Intro:

   G
So cautious, I was
       Em                           C
Just a kid and for what it was worth

Well, it wasn’t
Am7
All of the suffering
    G
I thought, maybe one day
        Em
I’ll use this in a good way
C                     Am7
Isn’t it great what I made of it?

🎸 Verse 1:
       G
Just a boring anorexic
       Em
Brain addled, sympathetic
C                        Am7
To all who thought me so special and pathetic
       G
I’m just so fucked up
       Em
You couldn’t understand me
C                     Am7                   D
Boy in the backseat, won’t you mythologize me?


🎸 Chorus 1:
G                                    Em
Make me in your perfect image of a girl
                                            C
So sweet but always incomplete and grateful for
                         Am7
Your needs to give me meaning
            D
Oh, what a relief from feeling
G                              Em
Oh, I am only ever gonna be a waste
                                                C
Of my potential that they said would come with pain
                     Am7
All I can do is fantasize
                D
About how you fantasize about me


🎸 Verse 2:
            G
Ain’t it great?

Show up late
         Em
On your arm

Set the slate
         C                        Am7
Talk my ear off and wait til the band starts to play
         G
In the crowd I am anyone
Em
I’m dancing all crazy
     C                             Am7     D
You shoot me a look and I know I’m misbehaving
   G
If I ever said
            Em
“Hey, fuck you” and lost my head
      C                      Am7                  D
You know, I would bet you’d find a way to find it sexy


🎸 Chorus 2:
G                                    Em
Make me in your perfect image of a girl

Batshit crazy
                     C
All I need is you to turn my world right side up again
Am7                D
What would I ever do without men?
G                              Em
Oh, I am only ever gonna be a waste
                                                C
Of my potential that they said would come with pain
                     Am7
All I can do is fantasize
                D
About how you fantasize about me


🎸 Instrumental:
G Em C Am7 D


🎸 Chorus 3:
G                                    Em
Make me in your perfect image of a girl
                                            C
So sweet but always incomplete and grateful for
                         Am7
Your needs to give me meaning
            D
Oh, what a relief from feeling
G                                    Em
Call me only when you wanna pick a fight
                                            C
Bout how you could never love me when it’s right
                     Am7
When I get myself together I know
                           N.C.
You won’t want me when I’m better
