Melanie Martinez – Numbers (Guitar)

              Dm
Count up your portion, count up your checks

             F
Feedin' your fam while you're comin' at my neck

               C
When you gonna freeze with the cruel dramatics?

          Am
I'm not inspired by your foolish practice

           Dm
Why do you bullshit? Side up your fence

           F
I'm just a chicken givin' you the egg

                   C
Soon, you're gonna see that your breath was wasted

                Am
Don't speak too soon on your doubts you're making

G                              F
Why should I try to conform to formulated pasts

     Dm                              E
When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?

Am                           Dm
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?

    F                               E
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow

 Am                         Dm
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

  F                                    E
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before

    G                                Dm
And all your idle teachings and your criticism lack

    Am                        E
The potential to penetrate my solid golden path

   Am                            Dm
To decide what my future is, I'm my own clairvoyant

        F                       E
There's no controlling me, imagination on ascend

           Dm
Take me to Venus, let me explode

             F
I'm ready to pop like a volcano

          C
Jump over me like you're playing hot lava

            Am
Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna

              Dm
Shake me like soda creme, but of course

             F
Use all your words to distract from the source

                 C
Of where all the growth on the paper happens

          Am
Leave me alone in my own concoction

G                             F
Prickin' all my fingertips to carve out many roads

Dm                              E
Pushin' out the petals from the bud of what I know

Am                           Dm
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?

    F                               E
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow

 Am                         Dm
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

  F                                    E
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before

    G                          Dm
And all my intuition says is, "Expansion comes first"

    Am                        E
But not just by material, I'm talking 'bout in here

   Am                              Dm
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear

      F                             E
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel

       F                       Am
They replaced their search for knowledge

         Dm
With the reach of many material gains

              F                 Am
They lack the tenderness of the sensitive

    Dm
Empathetic bodies cryin' from the pain

         F                  Am
It's too late to grow their frame

   Dm
Of mind, it seems that it's already made

          F                Am
No use in arguin' with someone who doesn't

      Dm                     F  E  Dm
Wanna prioritize birthing of creation

F                E
Am I just a number?

Dm
Am I just a number?

F                E
Am I just a number?

Dm
Am I just a number?

Dm          F                E
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?

    Dm
You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow

 F                          E
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke

  Dm
Until I prove you wrong which I've done time and time before

    F                         Em
And all my intuition says is "Expansion comes first"

    Dm
But not just by material, I'm talking 'bout in here

   F                               Am
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear

      Dm
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel
