[Verse 1]
C                      Dm
I was too young to see the truth

C                      Dm
In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume

C                      Dm
Too naive to even care

C                      Dm
'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair
[Pre-Chorus]
            C
People gonna say

             Dm
If you need a break, someone'll take your place

            C
People gonna try

                      Dm
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember) [Chorus]
C                      Dm
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh

C                      Dm
Don't let them try (Ooh)

C                      Dm
Don't let them hurt you, baby

C                      Dm
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
[Verse 2]
C                      Dm
Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done

C                      Dm
Everything I wanted has come to fruition

C                      Dm
I should be happy but I can't get out my bed

C                      Dm
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
            C
People gonna say

             Dm
If you need a break, someone'll take your place

            C
People gonna try

                      Dm
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember) [Chorus]
C                      Dm
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh

C                      Dm
Don't let them try (Ooh)

C                      Dm
Don't let them hurt you, baby

C                      Dm
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
[Bridge]
Am
Where is my time?

Am
Gone in my mind

F
Gone, I can't find

F
Euphoria

Am
When I get upset

Am
I think in my head

F
"I do as she says"
[Pre-Chorus]
            C
People gonna say

             Dm
If you need a break, someone'll take your place

            C
People gonna try

                      Dm
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember) [Chorus]
C                      Dm
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh

C                      Dm
Don't let them try (Ooh)

C                      Dm
Don't let them hurt you, baby

C                      Dm
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
