[Verse 1]
    Em                               A
I'm writing "young and gifted" in my autobiography

C                                  G
I figured who would know better than me

    Em                           A7
I'm certainly the former but I'm not so much the latter

    C                                G               F#
But no one's going to read it so I'm sure it doesn't matter
[Chorus]
Bm                            E
When you find that you're the former

     C        G       D     
Take pride in how you form

Bm                                E
And when you find that you're the ladder

A                      F#7              
Don't let those people walk under you
[Verse 2]
   Em                                 A
I'm writing "sharp and adult" with my finger on the steam

C                                G
On the mirror in my bathroom I'm applying shaving cream

               Em                               A7
Which would suggest that I'm the foamer but how can I be the lather

    C                           G            F#
But something tells me it's the opposite I'd rather
[Chorus]
Bm                            E
When you find that you're the foamer

     C     G        D   
Be careful what you foam

Bm                            E
When you find that you're the lather

      A                       F#7
Don't shave too high you're regret it later
[Interlude]
Bm    G     E           A     F#7
Ah    ah    ah    la la la    la la la la

Bm    G     E           A     F#7
Ah    ah    ah    la la la    la la la la
[Verse 3]
  Em                                       A
I stayed in school this long but still no one will tell me why

C                                     G
They figured who would know better than I

  Em                           A
I know I'm a conformer but I'm sure it doesn't matter

   C                                 G                    F#
My new friends are all adults and my old friends have all scattered
[Chorus]
Bm                        E
When you find you're a conformer

     C         G       D   
Take pride and swallow whole

Bm                                E
But if you're trying to climb the ladder
[Outro]
          F      C         G
Don't let people walk over you

        F           C            G
Because that's just what they'll do

          F      C         G
Don't let people walk over you

        F           C            G
Because that's just what they'll do
