Braggin

Bb
I hate braggin', marketing just 
never seemed intuitive
   Eb                              
So I've stayed back and in the past
 F
 have had nothing to do with it
    Bb
but people need a map to see what 
they should give a damn about
   Eb                           
To save a forest you may have to 
 F                             F7
print a couple pamphlets out…


        Bb
Oh this attitude is new to me, but 
things ain't how they used to be
   Eb                              
As soon as we'd begin to sing you'd
 F
 plug your ears cartoonishly
Bb
I'd check the peckin' order well 
before I crossed the road
    Eb                           F
but either way I'd go I'd always 
                           Bb
end up feelin' like a joke


Bb
I mess up all the time but you are 
doing awesome, kid
Eb                             F
Time to drop the pouty lip and learn
 to take a compliment


Bb
I'm b-b-braggin' and I'm puffin' up 
my feathers
  Eb                          
A chicken with a switch in his 
   F
position altogether
     Bb
I'll stick my chest and neck out as 
I decorate this fairy tale
    Eb                          
The color will attract a mate or 
 F
aggravate the alpha males

     Bb
Just find a purpose, don't consume, 
produce a tune or something new
Eb                                
Use your hands to make a thing 
  F
that won't exist unless you do
    Bb
You may not make a masterpiece or 
get your face in magazines
    Eb                             
You won't be the next Newton just 
  F                          Bb
by nappin' under apple trees


    Bb
And live your life like you're a 
kid, paint and dance and play and if
    Eb                             
you make a thing, create a bit, you
 F
 pin that shit up on the fridge!


Bb
I'm b-b-braggin' and I'm puffin' up 
my plumage
   Eb                           
Persuading all the parakeets I'm 
 F
perfect but the truth is
   Bb
my vocab will distract you, you're 
just baffled you can talk to me
    Eb                          
but don’t forget a parrot's only 
 F                            Bb F
honest as he's taught to be
 Gm Eb Bb



Bb
I might exaggerate to turn it up a 
notch
F                        Eb
You know what they say: "Give the 
people what they want"
Bb
I might exaggerate to try to sound 
cool
F                           Eb   
Describe a shark tank while 
                        Eb
talkin' 'bout a kiddie pool…


                        Bb
...And I'm divin' right in it

I am swimmin' just to make a big 
splash
       F                        Eb
Little fish in big pond, little bird
 in bird bath
      Bb
I can puff out my chest as I float 
on my back
     F                        Eb
I am bouyant, I guess, when I learn 
to relax
       F                     Gm
If I'm gonna speak up then I better 
impress
        F                     Gm
Make my diaphragm grow and my vocal 
cords stretch
       F                          
and my voice'll get hoarse but my 
Gm
story will spread
       Eb                     F
like a pony tale told off the top of
 my head

Bb
I'm b-b-braggin' and I'm puffin' up 
my ego
  Eb                               
A penguin playin' make believe but 
F
rockin' his tuxedo
Bb
I'll learn to wing it when I think 
that plan is goin' south
   Eb                              
No matter what, I'll always strut, 
    F                              
and find something to brag about
Bb
