Alphabet Boy by Melanie Martinez
Alphabet Boy
Capo: 5th fret
Standard Tuning
[Verse I]
Am C
You''re always aiming paper airplanes at me when you''re around
Em Am
You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down
Am C
You can crush my candy cane but you''ll never catch me cry
Am C
If you dangle that diploma and I deck you, don''t be surprised
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
I know my ABC''s, yet you keep teaching me
Em Am
I say, fuck your degree, alphabet boy
Am C
You think you''re smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Em Am
Fuck all your ABC''s, alphabet boy
[Chorus]
Em
I''m not a little kid now
C
Watch me get big now
Em
Spell my name on the fridge now
C
With all your alphabet toys
Em
You won the spelling bee now
C
But are you smarter than me now?
Em
You''re the prince of the playground
Am
Little alphabet boy
[Verse 2]
Am C
Apples aren''t an always appropriate apologies
Em Am
Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me
Am C
You call me a child while you keep counting all your coins
Em
But you''re not my daddy and I''m not your dolly
Am
And your dictionary''s destroyed
[Pre-Chorus]
Am C
I know my ABC''s, yet you keep teaching me
Em Am
I say, fuck your degree, alphabet boy
Am C
You think you''re smarter than me with all your bad poetry
Em Am
Fuck all your ABC''s, alphabet boy
[Chorus]
Em
I''m not a little kid now
C
Watch me get big now
Em
Spell my name on the fridge now
C
With all your alphabet toys
Em
You won the spelling bee now
C
But are you smarter than me now?
Em
You''re the prince of the playground
