Cadd9=[x32030] Aadd9=[002200] C/G=[320010] I keep up a similar strumming patter for the other chords. VERSE:
Cadd9        Aadd9          Cadd9        Aadd9
Me, and my helmet such an un-conventional kid

      Cadd9         Aadd9  D           G
All intense and kinetic, at best tolerated from afar

Cadd9           Aadd9          Cadd9          Aadd9
    Not yet arrested, and by that I mean betrothed

         Cadd9              Aadd9
Though a start I am newly courted

D                     G
    I've just not been trusted with alters
CHORUS:
      Cadd9            Aadd9        Cadd9           Aadd9
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned yet disturbed

F                    Aadd9(or better yet Am)
Wrongly label-ed and under-fed,

F                  G
   treated like a rose as an orchid
VERSE: My friends, as they weigh in, get understandably protective They have a hard time being objective So inside we cancel each other out Chorus: I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned and unloved Unlabeled and misunderstood, treated like a rose as an orchid BRIDGE:
F                  G       Am
    You've brought water to me,

       G               F
making sure my bloom rebounds

         G               C       C/G       Am
You know best of what my special care allows
VERSE: So I've lived in my blind spot Thought myself usual when I'm not And your garden is a nice spot As long as it is brave and where you are CHORUS: For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted I've been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid Sweet piece of work, overwhelmed un-observed I've been bowed down to but so misread Treated like a rose as an orchid
