Intro 
Cm Em A G 

verse 1 
Cm                       Em               A                     G 
My intelligence is strewn on the floor on papers that have been graded before 
Cm                       Em               A                     G 
And your value is on the line if the score you have is lower than mine 
Cm                       Em               A                     G 
I get so crazy thinking, that I could be making something that is worth for a while 
Cm                       Em               A                     G              Gm 
But instead I have to memorize phrases to put in my head that I cant comprehend 

D                      B7                Em              G 
Foolish kid you’re the worst, cant converse, die in thirst for love 
D                      B7                Em              G                    Gm 
Wait till you’re older uncover the earth until then ill conserve you and preserve you 


verse 2 
Cm                     Em           A                    G 
My personality is like a cavity, denying me from the a sense of reality 
Cm                      Em          A                    G 
And your face has been marked a disgrace by the standards we use as formality 
Cm                    Em           A                     G 
I wish that I could live in, another world to begin, where I am free to be me 
Cm                    Em            A                     G 
But instead I have to listen to words that are said to brainwash my soul 

verse 3 
Cm                    Em           A                G 
My knowledge extends beyond the criterias that you grade me on 
Cm                     Em           A                G 
And your words they’ll never be heard because they are not preferred 
Cm                     Em          A                 G 
I cannot stop clinging to the past that’s digging into my memories, into my bones 
Cm                      Em          A                G             Gm 
But instead I’m told to think ahead, so that I can peacefully grow old 

D                     B7              Em                G 
Foolish kid you’re the worst, cant converse, die in thirst for love 
D                     B7               Em                G                    Gm 
Wait till you’re older uncover the earth until then ill conserve you and preserve you

D                   B7                  Em               G 
Foolish kid you’re the best, Im impressed by your messed up mind 
D                    B7                  Em               G 
You're not designed to be defined by the rules you can build your own reality
