Melanie Martinez - "Alphabet Boy"
Standard Tuning - Capo 5
[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
[Em] [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 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
