Numbers Ukulele chords by Melanie Martinez

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
C
Count up your portion, count up your checks
          Em
Either you're fam or you’re comin' at my neck
C
When you gonna freeze with the cool dramatics?
     Em
I'm not inspired by your foolish practice
C
Why do you bullshit? Side up your fence
      Em
I’m just a chicken givin' you the egg
C

Soon, you're gonna see that your platform's wasted
        Em
Don't speak too soon on your doubts you're making
C
A big deal out of a little thing
Em
Why should I try to conform to formulated pasts
C
When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?


Chorus:
C                             Em
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
      C
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Em
Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke
          C                                            Em
Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before
              C
And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack
        Em
The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path
     C
To this, I hope my future is a mile, clairvoyant
Em
There’s no controlling the imagination on a send


Verse 2:
C                  Em
Take me to Venus, let me explode
      C                   Em
I'm ready to pop like a volcano
      C
Jump over me like you're playing hot lava
Em
Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna
C
Drink me like soda? People, of course
Em
Use all your words to distract from the source
C
Aware of the growth, the paper happens
Em
Leave me alone in my own concoction
C
Breakin’ all my fingertips to carve out many roads
Em
Pushin' out the petals from the thought of what I know


Chorus:
C                             Em
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
      C
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Em
Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke
          C                                            Em
Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before
              C
And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack
        Em
The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path
     C
To this, I hope my future is a mile, clairvoyant
Em

Bridge:
        C                        Em
They replaced their search for knowledge
           C       Em
With the reach of many material gains
       C         Em              C
They lack the tenderness of the sensitive
Em                    C
Empathetic but he's cryin' from the pain
      C           Em
It's too late to grow their frame
     C                           Em
In their mind, seems like it's already made
    C                                Em
No use in arguin' with someone who doesn't
Em
Wanna cry or retice worthy of creation
Em            C
Am I just a number?
Em            C
Am I just a number?
Em            C
Am I just a number?
Em            C
Am I just a number?


Chorus:
C                             Em
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
      C
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Em
Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke
          C                                            Em
Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before
              C
And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack
        Em
