A C#m
You've been famous since your birth
Abm
And a silent one it was,
B
Till they told me it's a girl
A
And everybody gasped
C#m
I know how to raise you right
Abm
Teach you how to read
B
Do math, share toys spell names and alphabet
A C#m Abm B
And how to be polite
A C#m
You've been famous since your birth
Abm
And a silent one it was,
B
Till they told me it's a girl
A
And everybody said
C#m
You and your atlas know it all
Abm
Let the corners curl
B
Cause if you go by night
E
You'll hit the coast for sure

Chorus
E Eb/B Abm
It's a ruse, it's a laugh
B

A C#m
I've put down my middle name
Abm
In the back of her book
B
And signed it just in case
A
Our walk was over love
C#m
Cause I've got one more up my sleeve
Abm
Bring it out tonight
B
Cause if I am the joke
E
Then you're the punchline

I need a second opinion
Not a second to waste
