Chords with lyrics

• Capo on 5th

Standard Tuning

[Verse I]

    A minorAm                C majorC
You’re always aiming paper airplanes at me when you’re around
  E minorEm                    A minorAm
You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down
A minorAm                   C majorC
You can crush my candy cane but you’ll never catch me cry
    A minorAm               C majorC
If you dangle that diploma and I deck you, don’t be surprised


[Pre-Chorus]

     A minorAm         C majorC
I know my ABC’s, yet you keep teaching me
      E minorEm        A minorAm
I say, fuck your degree, alphabet boy
         A minorAm              C majorC
You think you’re smarter than me with all your bad poetry
       E minorEm     A minorAm
Fuck all your ABC’s, alphabet boy

[Chorus]

         E minorEm
I’m not a little kid now
       C majorC
Watch me get big now
           E minorEm
Spell my name on the fridge now
          C majorC
With all your alphabet toys
           E minorEm
You won the spelling bee now
             C majorC
But are you smarter than me now?
             E minorEm
You’re the prince of the playground
      A minorAm
Little alphabet boy


[Verse 2]

A minorAm               C majorC
Apples aren’t an always appropriate apologies
E minorEm                  A minorAm
Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me
A minorAm                 C majorC
You call me a child while you keep counting all your coins
   E minorEm
But you’re not my daddy and I’m not your dolly
   A minorAm
And your dictionary’s destroyed

[Pre-Chorus]

     A minorAm         C majorC
I know my ABC’s, yet you keep teaching me
      E minorEm        A minorAm
I say, fuck your degree, alphabet boy
         A minorAm              C majorC
You think you’re smarter than me with all your bad poetry
       E minorEm     A minorAm
Fuck all your ABC’s, alphabet boy


[Chorus]

         E minorEm
I’m not a little kid now
       C majorC
Watch me get big now
           E minorEm
Spell my name on the fridge now
          C majorC
With all your alphabet toys
           E minorEm
You won the spelling bee now
             C majorC
But are you smarter than me now?
             E minorEm
You’re the prince of the playground
      A minorAm
Little alphabet boy
