[Verse 1]
EbIf I’m so smart and I’m so pretty,
Damn this town and damn this city.
You neveAb6r give me anything Bb6that I want.
EbNo one seems to really care.
They’re just wholly unaware
Of all tAb6he blood and sweat Bb6I cry before dawn.
[Bridge]
(Voice 2)
Ebmaj7But you won’t understand
Eb7All the things that I am
AbCause' I’m crazy in juAbmst too many ways. Eb  
Ebmaj7But I get that little feel
Eb7When my heart starts beating; lungs stop breathing;
AbAll my fibers say Abmto run aEbway.
[Chorus]
(Voice 1)
EbCount my little scars, I’ve got dozens down inside
CmI come complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile.
EbAll the things I’ve tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young. 
CmSo don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere.
[Verse] 
(Voice 1)
EbLove my mum and love my daddy
Sure they messed me up but that is 
Voices tAb6hat they left insidBb6e of my head. 
EbDarling, dearest, don’t you see
I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeoisie?
And I’ll Ab6play out this lie Bb6until we’re all dead.
