Verse 1:
C                      Dm
I was too young to see the truth
C                      Dm
In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume
C                      Dm
Too naive to even care
C                      Dm
'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair

Pre-Chorus:
            C
People gonna say
             Dm
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
            C
People gonna try
                      Dm
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)


Chorus:
C                      Dm
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
C                      Dm
Don't let them try (Ooh)
C                      Dm
Don't let them hurt you, baby
C                      Dm
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"


Verse 2:
C                      Dm
Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done
C                      Dm
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
C                      Dm
I should be happy but I can't get out my bed
C                      Dm
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head


Pre-Chorus:
            C
People gonna say
             Dm
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
            C
People gonna try
                      Dm
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)


Chorus:
C                      Dm
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
C                      Dm
Don't let them try (Ooh)
C                      Dm
Don't let them hurt you, baby
C                      Dm
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"


Bridge:
Am
Where is my time?
Am
Gone in my mind
F
Gone, I can't find
F
Euphoria
Am
When I get upset
Am
I think in my head
F
"I do as she says"


Pre-Chorus:
            C
People gonna say
             Dm
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
            C
People gonna try
                      Dm
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes

(Just remember)


Chorus:
C                      Dm
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
C                      Dm
Don't let them try (Ooh)
C                      Dm
Don't let them hurt you, baby
C                      Dm
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
