Ani DiFranco – The Million You Never Made (Guitar)

Am
The air comes off the ocean

Am
The city smells fishy

Am
The air is full of fish and mystery

Am
Whispering who, what, when

Am
I am warning you I am weightless

Am
And the wind is always shifting

Am
So don't hang anything on me

Am
If you ever want to see it again

     F N.C.                            G
I am telling you I'm different than you

N.C.      Am
Think I am

Am
And you can dangle your carrot

Am
But I ain't gonna reach for it

Am
Cuz I need both my hands

Am
To play my guitar

Am
And life is a sleazy stranger

Am
Who looks vaguely familiar

Am
Flirting with a bimbo named disaster

Am
At the end of the bar

         F N.C.                         G
And I am telling you that I am different

     N.C.  Am
Than you are

Am
At night when you're asleep

Am
Self hatred's going to creep in

Am
You can try to blame it on the devil

Am
The one who's bed you sleep in

Am
And don't tell me what they did to you

Am
As though you had no choice

Am
Tell me, isn't that your picture?

Am
Isn't that your voice?

             F N.C.
If you don't live what you sing about

     G N.C.             Am
Your mirror is going to find out

   C    G  Dm  F  C    Dm  F  C
Oh yeah

                  Am      F             C Dm
I'd like to go to all the pretty parties

                            F C
Where all the pretty people go

G           Am              F     C Dm
And I ain't really all that pretty

      Am        F C G
But nobody will know

    Am        F     C  Dm
Cuz everybody loves you

F               C G
When you're a star

    Am     F   c
And nobody questions

Dm      Am               F C
What it takes to go that far

    F N.C.
And life is a sleazy stranger

    G N.C.
And this is his favorite bar

     Am              F     C Dm
No I don't prefer obscurity

    Am         F      C G
But I'm an idealistic girl

      Am                F  C Dm
And I wouldn't work for you

                   F C
No matter what you paid

      Am         F   C Dm
And I may not be able

   Am               F       C    G
To change the whole fucking world

                   F      C
But I could be the million

Dm       Am    F C
That you never made

C
Oh yeah

  F                         Am
I could be the million that you never made

               C                          Am
I could be the million that you'll never make

                      C            Dm           Em
You're looking at the million that you'll never make

Am             C                          Am
I could be the million that you'll never make

Am             C                   F
I could be the million that you'll never make

C                           Am
I could be the million that you'll never make

Am
I could be the million that you'll never make

           C                         Am
I could be the million that you'll never make

Am
I could be the million that you'll never make

           C           Am
I could be the million that you'll never make
