Dear Porcupine by Melanie Martinez
Dear Porcupine
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 4th fret
[Intro]
Am C F E
[Verse 1]
Am
Drown me in my daily cup of tea
C
Tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me
F
They make me fall, but I will stand
E
''Cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands
Am
Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me
C
''Cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TV''s
F
But what about little old, little old me?
E
The one who got bullied because of her teeth
[Chorus]
Am C
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
F E
To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I''m on your mind
Am C
Now you say you love me, but what about before?
F E
When I was just that silly little girl next door
Am C F E
Oh oh, Ooohoooh
[Verse 2]
Am
Ladies, oh ladies, why are you so mad?
C
Is it ''cause I''m classy, and you''re a trash bag?
F
Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart
E
And now you''re calling me ''cause you want a fresh start
Am
Now look at you boys, you can''t believe your eyes
C
You told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise
F
You should''ve been nicer, ''cause look where I''m at
E N.C.
While you copy Mac Miller wearing snap-back hats
[Chorus]
Am C
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
F E
To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I''m on your mind
Am C
Now you say you love me, but what about before?
F E
When I was just that silly little girl next door
Am C F E
Oh oh, Ooohoooh
[Bridge]
Am C
Why must you be so mean, talking trash about me?
F E
All I wanted was a friend to laugh and cry and spend all of e-ternity
Am
Or even just a week
[Instrumental]
Am C F E
[Chorus]
Am C
I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise
F E
To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I''m on your mind
Am C
Now you say you love me, but what about before?
F E
When I was just that silly little girl next door
Am C F E Am
Oh oh, Ooohoooh
