Verse 1:
         C                         F     G     C
I was a humble student, and essays were my trade,
   F           C                     G
Inside a giant tree with all the bugs is where I stayed.
        C                      F    G     C
Every day a parable, a lesson to learn from
   F               C                  G             C
About the vaguest subjects, oh, my work was never done!

 Am                             D
Every scrap of knowledge was concepted on the fly
 Am                                G
The context would be infinite but still I would scrape by!
 Am                            D
How I would apply this stuff I simply never knew
 Am                                G
But that's the kind of thing that every student must go through!

Pre-chorus:
 F                                            F   C
But Disney sold us princesses to little girls in awe,
 G
So I exploded, then I died, and now I am a god!

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

(Repeat the first half of the chorus without lyrics once, then play C for two measures.)

Verse 2:
         C                         F     G     C
I guess since I'm a princess and a brand new deity
  F             C                     G
I should perform some miracles or place some minds at ease
         C                         F     G     C
But I never had a plan for this, much to my dismay,
  F             C                     G          C
So I'll just tell my subjects that it all will be okay!

 Am                                D
I don't know what the masses want, I haven't got a clue
 Am                              G
I'm really quite reclusive if I frankly must be true
 Am                             D
But in order to push plastic, seems there is no other way
 Am                                 G
I just hope my undying fans won't find themselves betrayed!

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

Verse 3:
         C                               F     G     C
So all the rules of goddessing are different than I've thought
     F             C                     G
I've got to talk to others and they make me leave my spot
         C                         F     G     C
I've got a list of problems and it stretches twenty miles
      F             C                     G            C
But when I travel down the street they make me wave and smile

     Am                                  D
For what it's worth this princess thing is not all that I dreamed
     Am                                G
It seems like pushing all this tripe is just a crooked scheme
     Am                                D
But they gave me godly powers whether not I was composed
     Am                                G
Well I'm just hoping we'll find that we aren't completely hosed!

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

Verse 4:
        C                         F     G     C
I guess I must admit I wasn't really quite prepared
    F               C                      G
And things have not exactly gone to quite as I've declared
         C                              F     G     C
In times to come I guess that maybe will they will look ahead
    F             C                     G        C
And not drop godly powers on ungodly ponies' heads!

    Am                                D
Yet I must confess that there is one last thing to write
    Am                                G
Because I've learned a lesson and I think it's very bright
    Am                                D
If something seems successful just be thankful for what's there
    Am                                G
And don't cause everyone to scream and pull out all their hair!
