Eb9 Eb (repeat as needed)
[Verse 1]
Eb
Every day for a week I would try to
Bb/D
Feel the motion
Bbm7/Db Ab/C
Feel the motion
Eb
Down the hill
Eb
Every day for a week we would try to
Bb/D
Hear the wind rush
Bbm7/Db Ab/C
Hear the wind rush
Eb
Feel the chill
[Pre-chorus 1]
Bb Eb
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
Bb Eb
To see what I had inside
Bb Eb
Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
F Bb
and I tried, I tried
[Monologue 1]
DbEb
(Vamp )
And everyone was going whoosh! Whoosh! I feel
the snow! I feel the cold! I feel the air! And
Mr. Karp turns to me and says, "Okay Meralise,
what do you feel?"
[Chorus 1]
Ab Bb
And I said nothing
Bbm7 C
I'm feeling nothing
Fm Bb Eb
And he said nothing could get a girl transferred
Ab
They all felt something
Bbm C
But I felt nothing
Fm Bb Eb9 Eb
Except the feeling that this bullshit was absurd
[Monologue 2]
Eb9Eb
Vamp
But then I said to myself, hey it's only the first week.
Maybe it's genetics. They don't have bobsleds in San Juan.
[Verse 2]
Eb
Second week, more advanced and we had to
Bb/D
Be a table
Bbm7/Db Ab/C
Be a sports car
Eb
Icecream cone
Eb
Mr. Karp, he would say, "Very good
Bb/D
except Meralise
Bbm7/Db Ab/C
Try Meralise"
Eb9
All alone
[Pre-chorus 2]
Bb Eb
So I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
Bb Eb
To see how an icecream felt
Bb Eb
Yes I dug right down to the bottom of my soul
F Bb
And I tried to melt
[Chorus 2]
Ab Bb
And the kids yelled nothing
Bbm7 C
They called me nothing
Fm Bb Eb
And Karp allowed it, which really makes me burn
Ab Bb
They were so helpful
Bbm7 C
They called me hopeless
Fm Bb Em9 Em
Until I really didn't know where else to turn
[Monologue 3]
Eb9Eb
Vamp
And Karp kept saying, "I really think you should
transfer to Girl's Highschool. You'll never be an
actress. Never." (Music stops, pause) Jesus Christ.
[Verse 3]
E
Went to church, praying Santa Maria
B/Eb
Send me guidance
Bm7/D A/Db
Send me guidance
E
On my knees
E
Went to church, praying Santa Maria
B/Eb
Help me feel it
Bm7/D A/Db
Help me feel it
E
Pretty Please
[Pre-chorus 3]
E B
And a voice from down at the bottem of my sould
E B
Came up to the top of my head
E B
Yes a voice from down at the bottom of my soul
F B
Here is what it said
[Chorus 3]
A B
This man is nothing!
Bm Db
This course is nothing!
F#m B E
If you want something, go find a better class!
A B
And when you find one
Bm Db
You'll be an actress
F#m B E
And I assure you that's what finally came to pass
[Outro]
(Slowly)
Bm E
6 months later I heard that Karl had died
Bm Bm7 F#m A/E B/Eb A/E
And I dug right down to the bottom of my soul, and cried
(pause) E
'Cause I felt... nothing.
