Em A
I'm writing "young and gifted" in my autobiography
C G
I figured who would know better than me
Em A
I'm certainly the former but I'm not so much the latter
C G F#
But no one's going to read it so I'm sure it doesn't matter
Bm E
When you find that you're the former
C G D
Take pride in how you form
Bm E
And when you find that you're the ladder
A F#
Don't let those people walk under you
Em A
I'm writing "sharp and adult" with my finger on the steam
C G
On the mirror in my bathroom I'm applying shaving cream
Em A
Which would suggest that I'm the foamer but how can I be the lather
C G F#
But something tells me it's the opposite I'd rather
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#
Don't shave too high you're regret it later
Bm G E A F#
Ah ah ah la la la la la la la (repeat)
Em A
I stayed in school this long but still no one will tell me why
C G
They figured who would know better than I
Em A
I know I'm a conformer but I'm sure it doesn't matter
C G F#
My new friends are all adults and my old friends have all scattered
Bm E
When you find you're a conformer
C G D
Take pride and swallow whole
Bm E
But if you're trying to climb the 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
