Verse 1:
C majorC 
FF G+G C majorC
I was a humble student, and essays were my trade,
FF C majorC G+G
Inside a giant tree with all the bugs is where I stayed.
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
Every day a parable, a lesson to learn from
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
About the vaguest subjects, oh, my work was never done!
A minorAm D MajorD
Every scrap of knowledge was concepted on the fly
A minorAm G+G
The context would be infinite but still I would scrape by!
A minorAm D MajorD
How I would apply this stuff I simply never knew
A minorAm G+G
But that's the kind of thing that every student must go through!
Pre-chorus:
FF FF C majorC
But Disney sold us princesses to little girls in awe,

So I exploded, then I died, and now I am a god!
Chorus:
C majorC C majorC FF C majorC G+G
So now it's rise (up)! Live (long)! I'm forging brand new lands!
FF C majorC G+G
I don't know what I'm doing but I'm birthing life from sands!
C majorC C majorC FF C majorC G+G
And now it's yes (lord)! Thank (you)! I've got myself a throne!
FF C majorC G+G
I got a pretty hat and now I'm ruling the unknown!

Verse 2:
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
I guess since I'm a princess and a brand new deity
FF C majorC G+G
I should perform some miracles or place some minds at ease
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
But I never had a plan for this, much to my dismay,
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
So I'll just tell my subjects that it all will be okay!
A minorAm D MajorD
I don't know what the masses want, I haven't got a clue
A minorAm G+G
I'm really quite reclusive if I frankly must be true
A minorAm D MajorD
But in order to push plastic, seems there is no other way
A minorAm G+G
I just hope my undying fans won't find themselves betrayed!
Chorus:
C majorC C majorC FF C majorC G+G
So now it's rise (up)! Live (long)! I'm forging brand new lands!

I don't know what I'm doing but I'm birthing life from sands!
C majorC C majorC FF C majorC G+G
And now it's yes (lord)! Thank (you)! I've got myself a throne!
FF C majorC G+G
I got a pretty hat and now I'm ruling the unknown!

So all the rules of goddessing are different than I've thought
FF C majorC G+G
I've got to talk to others and they make me leave my spot
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
I've got a list of problems and it stretches twenty miles
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
But when I travel down the street they make me wave and smile
A minorAm D MajorD
For what it's worth this princess thing is not all that I dreamed
A minorAm G+G
It seems like pushing all this tripe is just a crooked scheme
A minorAm D MajorD
But they gave me godly powers whether not I was composed
A minorAm G+G
Well I'm just hoping we'll find that we aren't completely hosed!

C majorC C majorC FF C majorC G+G
And now it's yes (lord)! Thank (you)! I've got myself a throne!

I got a pretty hat and now I'm ruling the unknown!
Verse 4:
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
I guess I must admit I wasn't really quite prepared
FF C majorC G+G
And things have not exactly gone to quite as I've declared
C majorC FF G+G C majorC
In times to come I guess that maybe will they will look ahead
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
And not drop godly powers on ungodly ponies' heads!
A minorAm D MajorD
Yet I must confess that there is one last thing to write
A minorAm G+G
Because I've learned a lesson and I think it's very bright
A minorAm D MajorD
If something seems successful just be thankful for what's there
A minorAm G+G
And don't cause everyone to scream and pull out all their hair!
