Start Jamming...
So you finally got what [F#] you wanted You've achieved your aim by making it all
king [Em] lame And when you just can't get [F#] any higher
You use your senses to suss out this weird [Em] climber
And the small frame that [Bm] you've acquired
[A] Has brought you into [B] cosplay just by trimming your spirit like a [Em] lector
[G] You're outside [A]
host but [E] you're not small [G] You're a different [A]
kind [C] cause you want their [G] minds
And you just [A] don't care [C] cause you've got no [E] pride
[G] It's just [A] a place [C] on your [G] pillowcase that [F] fools you
[E] [Em]
And you started looking [B] much older [A] And your fashion [Bm] sense [A] is second [Bm] rate like your [Em] perfume
[E] But to you in your own [B] little dream world [Am] You're still the [Bm] queen of the butterfly [E] collectors
[Em]
As you carry [A]
on that's all [G] you know You're not [A] a clown [C] you're not the ghost
[G] So you get from day [A] to day [C] by filling [G] your head
Bodies showing [A] nice nose, your [C] build, squeeze [G] your legs and heads [F] rollin' up
[E]
And I don't care [B] about morals [A] Cause the world's [Bm] insane and [Am] we're all to blame [E] anyway
[Em]
[E] And I don't feel any [Bm] sorrow [A] Cause you was the kings and [B] queens of [A] the [B] butterfly [E] collectors
[Em]
[G] You're outside [A]
host [C] but you're not [E] small You're [G] a different [A]
kind [C] cause you want their [G] minds
And you just [A] don't care [C] cause you've got no [E] pride
[G] It's just [A] a place [C] on your [G] pillowcase that [F] fools you
[D] You [G] carry [A] on cause it's all [G] you know You're not a [A] clown you're not the [G] ghost
So you get from [A] day to day by [G] filling your head
Bodies showing nice [A] nose, your build, squeeze your legs and heads [F] rollin' up
[E] [Em]
And I don't feel any [B]
sorrow [F#m] Cause you [E] was the kings and queens [Em] of the butterfly collectors
