- Helps with general chord shapes
Tuning: Standard
You can be liberal with trying out different chord shapes, Dm7 for example also works
Kinda makes the chord sound a little quirky and jarring, but still works.

Verse 1:
--------
They call Dmme a little grown Emup
See, I'm upsFet because I've always been Emstuck
But I don't Dmknow what it is I'm withEmout
Guess I'm in lFove with always feeling dEmown
(See the problem was I)
DmI was fully consumEmed
By all of the pFetty things that I couldn't Emdo
All of the Dmplastic, products, shows, and woEmes
But I didn't evFer show, I let it Emgo
So I listen while I'm Dmtold
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
Get hEmigh, take driDmnk
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
The more I listen, Emthe deeper I sink and
Chorus:
-------
DmOoh, I go hEmigher
And I say, Fooh, a-ooh, I go Emhigher
This head that I Dmhold, oh, it's so Emtired
And I say, Foh, no, I go Emhigher

Verse 2:
--------
So find Dmme stuck in some Emscene
I wanna get Fout but there's no in-Embetween
So I sit Dmback as I watch the crowd Emgo
Never asFsuming that I've sunken so Emlow
See the answer is Dmthis
If I wanna be Emfree
I gotta stop Fplayin' round and runnin' from Emme
'Cause all of the Dmplastic, products, shows, and Emwoes
They got my head Ffeelin' low, no room to Emgrow
So I listen while I'm Dmtold
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
Get hEmigh, take driDmnk
Don't Emfeel, Just goF
If you listen Emcarefully, then you won't feel so Dmlow
Sit bEmack, don't thiFnk
The more I listen, Emthe deeper I sink and
Chorus:
-------
DmOoh, I go hEmigher
And I say, Fooh, a-ooh, I go Emhigher
This head that I Dmhold, oh, it's so Emtired
And I say, Foh, no, I go Emhigher

And I say, ooh,
x x x
What's it gon', what's it gonna be?

Make me say, ooh,
