The Competition by Kimya Dawson
The Competition
Tuning: E A D G B E
A E G A
I never wanted to be better than my friends
A E G A
I just wanted to prove wrong the people in my head
A E G A
the ones who told me I'd be better off dead
A E G A
the ones who told me that I would never win
A E G A
when I delivered newspapers they said I was too slow
A E G A
when I was a barista they said I made lousy foam
A E G A
when I worked in retail they said I was a slob
A E G A
much too dumb for school and much too lazy for a job
A E G A
so I rode my bike like lightning
A E G A
and I made cappuccinos that would make the angels sing
A E G A
took two showers a day and I dressed up like a princess
A E G A
shook my fist in my own face and said I'll show you who's the best
A E G A
I wrote the kinds of papers teachers hang up on their walls
A E G A
I was employee of the month at seven different shopping malls
A E G A
and one time playing football I pulled the tendons in my leg
A E G
to prove that I was tough I hopped on one foot
A
and finished up the game
A E G A
I thought if I succeeded I'd be happy and they'd go away
A E G A
but first thing in the morning I'd still wake up and I'd hear them say
A E G A
"you're fat, ugly, and stupid, you should really be ashamed
A E G A
no one will ever like you, you're not good at anything"
A E A
and sometimes I'd rise to the challenge
A E G A
but other times I'd feel so bad that I could not get out of bed
A E G A
and on the days I stayed in bed I sang and sang and sang
A E G A
about how crappy I felt, not realizing how many other people would relate
A E G A
now people send me emails that say thanks for
A E G A
saying the things they didn't know how to say
A E G A
and the people in my head still visit me sometimes
A E G A
and they bring all of their friends but I don't mind
G A
I play my guitar like lightning
A E G A
when I sing I like it when you sing too loud and clear
A E G A
different voices, different tones all sayin' "yeah, we're not alone"
A E G A
I got good at feeling bad and that's why I'm still here
A E G A
I got good at feeling bad and that's why I'm still here
A E G G A
I got good at feeling bad and that's why I'm still here
