Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard

Difficulty: Novice

[Verse 1: Kimya Dawson]
G+G
Ever since I was a kid
D MajorD
On the backs of my two eyelids
C majorC
I hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from who knows where
G+G
A augmentedA walkie-talkie on a mission
D MajorD
Roger, roger will I listen
C majorC
Or will I just pass it along
In the form of a sing-a-long
G+G
When muse annoys, devoid and null
D MajorD
I feel a tingle in my skull
C majorC
Like ticker tape the words appear
There's a parade between my ears
G+G
I preach self-love, I know it’s true
D MajorD
It's easier to say than do
C majorC
I sing these messages to you
But now I need to hear them too
G+G       D MajorD       C majorC
I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am lovable
G+G       D MajorD       C majorC
I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am lovable

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]
       G+G
I was laying bricks in a line
Yap full of dog toy
D MajorD
Picturing a life beyond that of a protocol droid
C majorC
Bleep bloop boy ox boycott pea soup
First learn to eat pain at St. Peter's preschool-yum
G+G
Now that's a painkiller I can speak through
D MajorD
Airbrush letters on a pristine gene pool
C majorC
See, my mother said her father drew a ton
But all his cartoons had been swallowed by the Susquehanna flood in '72
G+G
The year that he would subsequently pass
D MajorD
I know he had a stroke but I assume that's only half
C majorC
But now I'm signing up for finger-drawing class in a tux like a gentleman
Marrying his ash to his dust
G+G
Last on the kickball team draft pick-list
D MajorD
First to the King Kullen practicing his kickflips
C majorC
I'd like to say it's 'cause I was a rebel
Truthfully it's easier to say "oh hell" instead of "hello"
G+G
Hi, you need to get out more
     D MajorD
I dunno, I don't wanna be there when the geometry domino
C majorC
You need to get out more
Maybe, or maybe his pace is better suited for pacing
G+G
You need to get out more
    D MajorD
Never- I am nailed to the floor-I am snail under pressure
C majorC
You need to get out more
Fine

[Verse 3: Kimya Dawson]
G+G
Ever since I was a kid
D MajorD
On the backs of my two eyelids
C majorC
I hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from who knows where
G+G
And this is why when I'm on stage
D MajorD
My eyes are closed, I'm in a haze
C majorC
I looks like I'm made out of clay
I'm overwhelmed and under-glazed
G+G
I'm making vases out of snakes
D MajorD
I'm a kiln half-full of mistakes
C majorC
When kneading it, air’s overlooked
It's gonna crack when it gets cooked
G+G
So self-forgiveness is the key
D MajorD
To re-sculpting my sanity
C majorC
Mindfulness, humility
And taking time to care for me
G+G
I preach self-love, I know it’s true
D MajorD
It's easier to say than do
C majorC
I sing these messages to you
But now I need to hear them too
G+G       D MajorD       C majorC
I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable
G+G       D MajorD       C majorC
I am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable

[Verse 4: Aesop Rock]
       G+G
I was laying bricks in a line
Yap full of copper-top
D MajorD
Picturing a life beyond that of a dish-washer
  C majorC
Pot buzz ping
Criss-crossed arms in a tub ring
Learned heartbreak on a Zelda-1 sub screen-numb
G+G                     D MajorD
Learned dark days by the scent of poached dove meat
Some part ways and it's fugly
C majorC
Maybe the sum of the parts became lesser
That each individually making the same gesture
G+G
And you don't wanna interrupt the overlapping network
D MajorD
So you throw a bag together and elope with cabin pressure
C majorC
To disappear instead of interfere with any customs
Or differing definitions of liberty and justice
G+G
Big dummy dig a hole in the dirt
D MajorD
He put his head in the hole; he is alone in this world
  C majorC
And dying slowly from the comfort of his home full of worms
Until you hear a little voice say "yo let's go get dessert"
Wait-what?
G+G
You need to get out more
    D MajorD
I dunno-over 2 million dead bats in NY alone
C majorC
You need to get out more
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe I'll just stay back and survey the lot
G+G
You need to get out more
    D MajorD
Never- I am nailed to the floor in a jail made of deserts
C majorC
You need to get out more
