Am C G G
Am C G G
[Chorus]
Am C G G Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling Am C G G Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling Dm C You build us up just to knock us back down G Am Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground Am C G G We're like domino, dominoes, dominoes falling
[Verse 1]
F Em Am Am So bleed me of all my self-belief F Em Am Am My smile shows all my insecuri-teeth F Em Am Am In a kingdom of photoshopped kings and queens F Em We'll never feel happy with ourselves Am Am But insecurity sells
[Chorus]
Am C G G Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling Am C G G Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling Dm C You build us up just to knock us back down G Am Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground Am C G G We're like domino, dominoes, dominoes falling
[Verse 2]
F Em Am Am I hide my head under the sheets F Em Am Am 'Cause how can I face a world that ridicules the weak? F Em Where beauty is sold on the shelves Am Am Forbid that we find it in ourselves F Em Am Am And, and now I'm broke, it don't come cheap
[Chorus]
Am C G G Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling Am C G G Oh, you build us like dominoes, dominoes, dominoes falling Dm C You build us up just to knock us back down G Am Funny, how you act surprised when we hit the ground Am C G G We're like domino, dominoes, dominoes falling
[Verse 3]
A Ariah was the most beautiful girl in this world C#m B She shined like diamonds and rubies and pearls A But then as soon as she turned 13 C#m E She forgot just how bright that it was that she gleamed A Stuck in a material world of magazines C#m B That glamourize the fake and photoshopped beauty queens A Top ten beauty tips making her feel inadequate F G For the first time in her life she felt ugly
[Verse 3]
F So Ariah stopped eating to lose weight Am G She spent her dinner money on some make up for her face F But no matter how much she'd lost
Or how much she bought
Am She was never good enough G Or so she thought F Ariah felt she could never be loved Am G She started cutting her wrists and hiding her scars with gloves F Am G At 16, an anorexic beauty queen, she collapses in a puddle of her tears and blood F 'Cause she never felt enough F She never felt enough Am G You sell us all this lie that we must buy to keep in touch F But we can never buy enough, never buy enough Am G All the riches in the world can't buy a sense of self love F Funny how you act surprised when depression levels rise Am G When you force feed inadequacy straight into our eyes F Television shows that praise the beautiful people Am G And talent competitions that just laugh at the feeble
[Verse 4]
F Billboards, magazines, people turned to plasticine Am G Moulded like a factory, we're growing up to fear feeling ugly F It's lunacy Am A knife in the community, 'cause insecurity breeds judgment G F Judgment breeds hate, not unity Am G And hierarchy based upon aesthetics is what makes a kid in school get bullied for genetics F And I felt so ugly growing up Am G The way that I looked sometimes got me beaten up F I mean what the fuck? F Sort of culture do we live in Am G When we're defined by the shape of our face F When we're ashamed by the size of our waist Am G When we're imprisoned by the form that we take F And so we keep buyin' and spendin' Am G That's just how this story goes F You build us up just to knock us back down
