Alphabet Boy chords by Melanie Martinez

Chords with lyrics (Ver. 2)

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

NOTE:
On the bridge there is this weird thing I made (Chord, Chord, X) and it's like when you get to the X
you can tap your ukulele / guitar on the beat if you want to but nothing else.

This is my first try on making these things so feedback would be appreciated.

You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down

Spell my name on a fridge now, with all your alphabet toys
