Alphabet Boy

       Am                          
 Always aiming paper airplanes at 
     C
me when you're around
    Em                             
You build me up like building 
          Am
blocks just so you can bring me down
Am                            
You can crush my candy cane but 
         C
you'll never catch me cry
       Am                       
If you dangle that diploma and I 
      C
deck you, don't be surprised

          Am                 
I know my ABC's, yet you keep 
 C
teaching me
            Em                Am
I say, fuck your degree, alphabet 
boy
                 Am             
You think you're smarter than me 
               C
with all your bad poetry
              Em          Am
Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy

                 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                              C
Apples aren't an always appropriate 
apologies
Em                                
Butterscotch and bubblegum drops 
   Am
are bittersweet to me
Am                                 
You call me a child while you keep 
C
counting all your coins
     Em
But you're not my daddy and I'm not 
your dolly
     Am
And your dictionary's destroyed

           Am                
I know my ABC's, yet you keep
