Popular Song

[Intro] C  G  F

[Verse I]
             C               G
You were the popular one, the 
popular chick
   F              C
It is what it is, now I'm 
popular-ish
 C                    G
Standing on the field with your 
pretty pompoms
           F                    
Now you're working at the movies 
 C
selling popular corn
  C                      G
I could have been a mess but I never
 went wrong
      F                         C
Cause I'm putting down my story in a
 popular song

[Pre-Chorus]

C    G            F             
Ahh,   I said I'm putting down 
        C
my story in a popular song

[Chorus]

   C       G               F     C
My problem,  I never was a model,
                 C    G           
I never was a scholar, but you 
          F   C
were always popular
         C      G                
You were singing all the songs I 
F        C
don't know
                  C       G
Now you're in the front row
                 F    C
Cause my song is popular
C       G              F   C
Popular,  I know about popular
               C           G
It's not about who you are or your 
fancy car
 F                   C
You're only ever who you were
C       G              F   C
Popular,  I know about popular
                 C           G
And all that you have to do, is be 
true to you

[Verse II]

C                 G
Always on the lookout for someone to
 hate,
F             C
Picking on me like a dinner plate
    C              G
You hid during classes and in 
between them
F                      C
Dunk me in the toilets now it's you 
that cleans them
             C                G
You tried to make me feel bad with 
the things you do
   F             C
It aint so funny when the jokes on 
you
C              G
Ooh, the jokes on you
             F                  C
Got everyone laughing, got everyone 
clapping, asking
C      G
How do you look so cool?
      F                          C
Cause that's the only thing that I 
learned at school, boy
C    G          F               
  Uh huh,I said that's the only 
           C
thing that I learned at school
