Autobiography

    Em                             
I'm writing "young and gifted" in 
  A
my autobiography
C                                  
I figured who would know better than
G
 me
    Em                           
I'm certainly the former but I'm not
A7
 so much the latter
    C                              
But no one's going to read it so 
  G               F#
I'm sure it doesn't matter

[Chorus]
Bm                            E
When you find that you're the former
     C        G       D
Take pride in how you form
Bm                                
And when you find that you're the 
E
ladder
A                      F#7
Don't let those people walk under 
you

[Verse 2]
   Em                              
I'm writing "sharp and adult" with 
   A
my finger on the steam
C                                
On the mirror in my bathroom I'm 
G
applying shaving cream

               Em               
Which would suggest that I'm the 
                A7
foamer but how can I be the lather
    C                          
But something tells me it's the 
 G            F#
opposite I'd rather

[Chorus]
Bm                            E
When you find that you're the foamer
     C     G        D
Be careful what you foam
Bm                            E
When you find that you're the lather
      A                       F#7
Don't shave too high you're regret 
it later

[Interlude]
Bm    G     E           A     
Ah    ah    ah    la la la    la la 
F#7

Bm    G     E           A     
Ah    ah    ah    la la la    la la 
F#7

[Verse 3]
  Em                            
I stayed in school this long but 
           A
still no one will tell me why
C                                 
They figured who would know better
    G
 than I
  Em                           A
I know I'm a conformer but I'm sure 
it doesn't matter
   C                               
My new friends are all adults and 
  G                    F#
my old friends have all scattered

[Chorus]
Bm                        E
When you find you're a conformer
     C         G       D
Take pride and swallow whole
Bm                                
But if you're trying to climb the 
E
ladder

          F      C         G
Don't let people walk over you
        F           C            G
Because that's just what they'll do
          F      C         G
Don't let people walk over you
        F           C            G
Because that's just what they'll do
