[Verse 1]
It’s F#ma tired fascination
With Aeverything I’m not and
F#mWasting nights wondering, Atrying to figure out
F#mOr maybe if I’m quiet, Amaybe if I’m light
F#mOr maybe I’ll be somethingA, someone you’ll lEike
[Chorus]
If IA’m smaller and if IF#m’m different
Just a Elittle less would you Dlove me
If I Awasn’t this with some F#mbigger lips
And some Esmaller hips
Would you Dlove me
[Verse 2]
It’s an F#moverdone obsession with Achasing what I’m not
And F#msomething I’ve been hiding, Aspace I’m talking up
And F#mslouching in my shoulders, Aand curving in my back
F#mAfraid that all the space I’m in is Ajust to much to hEave
[Chorus]
If I’m Asmaller and if I’m F#mdifferent
Just a Elittle less would you Dlove me
If I Awasn’t this with some F#mbigger lips
And some Esmaller hips
Would you Dlove me
And I AcDan’t change, what jAust stays the sEame
So I keep trAying, to loDve me how IA’m madEe
I know
[Verse 3]
F#mI’m hating on my mother
I’m dAisrespecting dad
But, sF#mpending nights trying to chAange the way I am
And tF#mearing at my structure, Apulling at my skin
Just wF#mishing I was smaller and Adifferent
And I’F#mm spitting on the people who lAove me just like this
Who dF#mon’t wish I was smaller or less Aof anything
And IF#m’m yelling in my silence, so mAake the voices stop
And lF#met me sleep in quite
NothinAg can let I ought to Ebe
[Chorus]
Asmaller and F#mdifferent
Just a Elittle less so you can Dlove me
With nAone of this and some F#mbigger lips
And sEome smaller hips
So you can Dlove me
[Outro]
And I AcaDn’t change, what jAust stays the sEame
But I keep trAying, to loDve me hAow I’m mEade
How AI’m madEe
Yeah, EI’m maEde
How AI’m madeE  
If I’m Asmaller and if I’m F#mdifferent
Just a Elittle less would you Dlove me
If I Awasn’t this with somF#me bigger lips
And some Esmaller hips
Would you Dlove me

F#m

[Verse 1]

F#m

It’s a tired fascination

With everything I’m not and

F#m A

Wasting nights wondering, trying to figure out

F#m A

Or maybe if I’m quiet, maybe if I’m light

F#m A E

Or maybe I’ll be something, someone you’ll like

[Chorus]

A F#m

If I’m smaller and if I’m different

E D

Just a little less would you love me

A F#m

If I wasn’t this with some bigger lips

And some smaller hips

Would you love me

[Verse 2]

F#m A

It’s an overdone obsession with chasing what I’m not

F#m A

And something I’ve been hiding, space I’m talking up

F#m A

And slouching in my shoulders, and curving in my back

F#m A E

Afraid that all the space I’m in is just to much to have

[Chorus]

A F#m

If I’m smaller and if I’m different

E D

Just a little less would you love me

A F#m

If I wasn’t this with some bigger lips

And some smaller hips

Would you love me

A D A E

And I can’t change, what just stays the same

A D A E

So I keep trying, to love me how I’m made

I know

[Verse 3]

F#m

I’m hating on my mother

I’m disrespecting dad

F#m A

But, spending nights trying to change the way I am

F#m A

And tearing at my structure, pulling at my skin

F#m A

Just wishing I was smaller and different

F#m A

And I’m spitting on the people who love me just like this

F#m A

Who don’t wish I was smaller or less of anything

F#m A

And I’m yelling in my silence, so make the voices stop

F#m

And let me sleep in quite

A E

Nothing can let I ought to be

[Chorus]

A F#m

smaller and different

E D

Just a little less so you can love me

A F#m

With none of this and some bigger lips

And some smaller hips

So you can love me

[Outro]

A D A E

And I can’t change, what just stays the same

A D A E

But I keep trying, to love me how I’m made

A E

How I’m made

E E

Yeah, I’m made

A E

How I’m made

A F#m

If I’m smaller and if I’m different

E D

Just a little less would you love me

A F#m

If I wasn’t this with some bigger lips

And some smaller hips

Would you love me
