Guitar chords with lyrics

Capo on 5th

Standard Tuning

[Verse I]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

🎸

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


[Chorus]

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


[Verse 2]

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


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]

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