_ _ _ _ _ _ My mummy says I'm a miracle. _ _ _
My daddy says I'm a special little [Db] guy. _
[C] _ _ [F] I am a princess and I am a [Eb] prince.
_ Mum says I'm an angel.
Mum says I'm an angel.
[F] Mum says I'm an [A] angel.
[Dm] So you think you're able to survive this mess [Eb] by being a prince or a princess?
You will [D] soon see, there's no escaping tragedy.
_ [Bb] _ [Dm] And even if you put in heaps [Eb] of effort, you're just wasting [Dm] energy.
Cos your life as you know it [A] is ancient, [D] dystopic.
_ [Gm] [Eb] I have suffered in [Dm] this jail.
I've been trapped inside [Em] this cage for ages.
This living [A] hell.
Not that I can [Gm] remember.
But before my life [F] had ended, before my happy days [Bbm] were over,
before I first heard [A] the pealing of [D] the bells,
my fear [Bb] was furious.
So [F] innocent I asked a thousand questions,
but [A] unless you want to suffer, listen up and I will teach you.
I think I'll do it now.
[Gm]
Listen here, my dear, you'll be punished [Dm] for the many a [Gbm] deceptive line.
[D] If you cry, [A] you'll be gouged and taken [Gm] out of cover.
And remember [A] to be [Bb] extremely careful.
[A] _ _
_ [Gm] Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Did you hear what he [A] said?
Just you wait [Dm] or visit. _
_ _ What's this A?
Physical education.
[Gm] [D] My mummy says I'm a miracle.
My daddy [Bm] said I would be the teacher's pet.
School is really [Dm] fun, according to my mum.
Dad says I would learn_
[C] The [E] alphabet?
[Eb] You'd better [B] learn to listen, kid.
[Bbm] You're learning [Ebm] to handle, to survive this must [E]-find feed.
A prince or a princess, you will [Ebm] soon see.
There's no escaping tragedy.
[D] _ [C] _ [Bbm] [Ebm] Evil, if you put in your cheeks [E] a parrot,
it will raise the [Ebm] energy.
If you like, let me call him his ancient sister ring.
_ [Abm] I must suffer in [B] this jail.
[Bb] I've been trapped [E] inside this cage [Abm] for ages.
It's living [Bb]
hell.
No, if I try, I [Abm] can't be warned.
And before my life [Ebm] I end,
before my happy days [Abm] were over,
before I found [Bb] out the meaning of [Ebm] the [Ab] bell.
Like you, [B] I was curious.
So I [Gb] listened with all my heart.
I've been asked a thousand questions, but [Bb] I'm never too.
If you want to suffer, listen up, and I will teach you.
A thing or two.
[Abm] You listen here.
My name is the [Ebm] trouble-suffer, B.
Except I'm the lion if you [F] cry, W.
W.A.
I'm the swan, _ [Bb] every [B] day, every [Bb] day.
Why?
[Abm] Why?
Why?
Why?
Did you hear what he [Bb] said?
_ _ Just you wait for [Abm] his [Ebm] egg.
_ [F] [Bb] Just you wait [Ebm] for his egg.
It will give you energy.
It's a deadly [Bb] hell of energy.
You are a stingy thief of your [Abm] lips.
Why?
[Ebm] _ _ _ [F] Why?
[Bb] Just you wait for [Ebm] his egg. _ _ _ _ _ _
