[D]
[F]
[Fm]
[F] My mummy says I'm a baby pea.
[Ab] [F] My daddy says I'm a special little guy.
[Db] [C]
[F] I am a princess and I am a [Eb] prince.
Mum says I'm an [D] angel.
Mum says I'm an angel.
[C] [Gm]
Mum says [Eb] I'm an [A] angel.
[D] So you think you're angels?
To survive this [Eb] mess by being a prince or a princess [Gm] you will [A] succeed.
[A] There was faith in [D] tragedy.
[Bb]
And even [D] if you put in heaps [Eb] of effort,
you're just [Ab] wasting [D] [Bb] energy.
Cos your life as [A] you know it [G] is ancient [D] history.
[Gm] I have suffered [Bb] in this jail.
I've been trapped inside [Em] this cage for ages.
Secret [A] and [Em] stealth.
But in my soul [G] I can remember.
Right before my [Dm] life had ended.
Before my happy [G] days were over.
Before I first [A] had a feeling [D] of love.
[Bb] Lucky I was curious.
So it [F] isn't that I ask a thousand questions.
But [A] unless you want to suffer, listen up and I will teach you a thing or two.
[Gm] If you listen here, ideally you'll be punished.
If you're [Bb] stuck and feeling if you're scared, undermined and if you're [A] crying,
running from all this [E] pain, under trouble, then remember to [A] be [F] actually [Bb] careful.
[A] [Gm] Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Did you hear what he [A] said?
Just you wait for [D] his head.
What's his head?
Physical education.
It's touch box [F] [E] speciality.
[Dm]
[E] [C] [D] My daddy said I would be the [Dm] teacher's pet, [Am] [F] according to my mum.
[Ab] [Dm] [Bb] [D]
[B] You've [E] got to learn to listen [Ab] kids.
[Bb]
I know [Ebm] you think you're able to survive this mess by being [B] a prince or a princess.
You will [Ebm] soon see [Bb] there's no escape in [Eb] tragedy.
[Db] [Abm] [Ebm] And even if you put in [Abm] heaps of effort, you're just wasting [Ebm] energy.
And your life as you know [Bb] it is ancient [Ebm] history.
[Abm]
I have suffered in [Ebm] this jail.
I've been [Abm] trapped inside this cage for ages.
This [Bb] prison cell, wouldn't have died I'd [Abm] have [Ebm] repented.
But my happy [F] days were over before I felt the [Eb] feeling of a [Ab] girl.
And I [B] knew I was curious.
So listen, [Gb] I ask a thousand questions, but [Bb] unless you want to,
stop and listen up and I will teach you a thing or two.
[Abm] If you listen here, ideally you'll be [Ebm] punished.
If you're feeling if you're scared, undermined and if you're [F]
crying,
listen to me [Gb] extremely [Bb] carefully.
Why?
[Abm] Why?
Why?
Why?
Didn't you hear what we [Bb] said?
Just you wait for [Abm] revenge.
[Ebm]
[Ab] [Bb] Just you [Ebm] wait for revenge.
A-C-E-N [Db]-G-H-O-J-K-L [Bb]-M-N-O-P-Q-R-S-T-U-G.
Duh duh [Abm] duh.
Why [Ebm] why [Abm] why?
[Bb] Just [Eb] you wait for war.
