Chords

[Intro] Am C F E [Verse 1]
Am
Drown me in my daily cup of tea

C
Tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me

     F
They make me fall, but I will stand

       E
'Cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands

Am
Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me

       C
'Cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TV's

    F
But what about little old, little old me?

    E
The one who got bullied because of her teeth
[Chorus]
  Am                           C
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise

       F                            E
To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I'm on your mind

Am                           C
Now you say you love me, but what about before?

     F                            E
When I was just that silly little girl next door

   Am       C    F    E
Oh oh,  Ooohoooh
[Verse 2]
Am
Ladies, oh ladies, why are you so mad?

       C
Is it 'cause I'm classy, and you're a trash bag?

     F
Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart

    E
And now you're calling me 'cause you want a fresh start

    Am
Now look at you boys, you can't believe your eyes

    C
You told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise

    F
You should've been nicer, 'cause look where I'm at

          E    N.C.
While you copy Mac Miller wearing snap-back hats
[Chorus]
  Am                           C
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise

       F                            E
To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I'm on your mind

Am                           C
Now you say you love me, but what about before?

     F                            E
When I was just that silly little girl next door

   Am       C    F    E
Oh oh,  Ooohoooh
[Bridge]
Am                                               C
Why must you be so mean, talking trash about me?

F                                                            E
All I wanted was a friend to laugh and cry and spend all of e-ternity

               Am
Or even just a week
[Instrumental] Am C F E [Chorus]
  Am                           C
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise

       F                            E
To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I'm on your mind

Am                           C
Now you say you love me, but what about before?

     F                            E
When I was just that silly little girl next door

   Am       C    F    E    Am
Oh oh,  Ooohoooh
