Chords

Note: the entire song progression is a D5 (notes D and A) played over a bass note walking pattern. The pattern of notes is G C B A F E Eb D, and the exceptions are always just a repeat of G C B A or F E Eb D. These chords use those notes where possible but have been adapted for playability and UG formatting limits. For beginners, UG's simplify feature helps. Or you can substitute with the chords G, C, Am, F, Ebdim, and D. [Intro] Gsus2 C6 Gsus2/B Am7 F6 C6/E Ebdim D5 [Verse 1]
Gsus2     C6        Gsus2/B    Am7
  Growing up didn't go how I'd liked

  F6          C6/E           Ebdim       D5
It twists and turns like the limbs of a pine

Gsus2       Gsus2/B C6
  Trying to grow on earth that writhes

  Gsus2   Gsus2/B      C6
And do it all with the biggest smile

Gsus2     C6sus2         Gsus2/B    C6
  Half my friends barely know who I am

          F6        C6/E            Ebdim
And there's none at fault, put this on singing

D5      Gsus2   Gsus2/B       C6
Men don't wanna hear that I'm trailer trash

      Gsus2  Gsus2/B   C6
It's a heavy topic for crystal glass
[Chorus]
F6                 C6/E
  Everything comes back around

  Ebdim               D5
I still feel like the class clown

F6                 C6/E
  Everything comes back around

  Ebdim              Gsus4/D G/D
I still feel like the class   clown
[Interlude] Gsus2 C6 Gsus2/B Am7 F6 C6/E Ebdim D5 [Verse 2]
Gsus2       C6               Gsus2/B       Am7
  Take your pick, be laughed at or laughed with

         F6     C6/E      Ebdim      D5
I learned early on either way, it's a shit stick

Gsus2      C6         Gsus2/B              Gsus2
  While my father was barreling fists, I was

         Gsus2/B     C6
Laughing all the way through it

   Gsus2    C6           Gsus2/B         Am7
And now the blondies are clutching their ribs

       F6      C6/E         Ebdim     D5
From my latest joke from my old bag of tricks

   Gsus2         Gsus2/B   C6               Gsus2   Gsus2/B    C6
But there's this beautiful moment in it where I can sorta just vanish
[Chorus]
F6                 C6/E
  Everything comes back around

  Ebdim               D5
I still feel like the class clown

F6                 C6/E
  Everything comes back around

  Ebdim              Gsus2/D G/D
I still feel like the class clown

F6                 C6/E
  Everything is over now

  Ebdim               D5
I still feel like the class clown

F6               C6/E
  Like if I get older now

   Ebdim                    D5
I'll let my younger version down

F6              C6/E
  And if I stop laughing

        Ebdim               D5
All the blood will just start pouring out

      F6                C6/E
'Cause everything comes back around

  Ebdim               D5
I still feel like the class clown

F6   F6/E
Ah

F6   F6/E
Mm-mm
[Bridge]
   Gsus2   C6         Gsus2/B Am7
Been tryna talk to my sister about it

   F6      C6/E         Ebdim      D5
We joke a million jokes through the phone

Gsus4
Nothing funny about that home

   Gsus2
But her and I, we already know
[Chorus]
F6                 C6/E
  Everything comes back around

  Ebdim               D5
I still feel like the class clown

F6                 C6/E
  Everything comes back around

  Ebdim              Gsus2/D G/D
I still feel like the class clown
[Outro]
 G                F6/A         G                     F6/A
(Everything comes back around, everything comes back around)

 G                      Gsus2             G           F6/A
(Everything comes back around, everything comes back around)

   F6 F6/E         F6                               F6/E
(Mm-mm) Everything comes back, everything comes back
