Alphabet Boy

       Am                               C
 Always aiming paper airplanes at me when you're around 
    Em                                       Am
You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down 
Am                                     C
You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry 
       Am                             C
If you dangle that diploma and I deck you, don't be surprised 

          Am                  C
I know my ABC's, yet you keep teaching me 
            Em                Am
I say, fuck your degree, alphabet boy 
                 Am                            C
You think you're smarter than me with all your bad poetry 
              Em          Am
Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy 

                 Em
I'm not a little kid now 
             C
Watch me get big now 
                      Em
Spell my name on the fridge now 
                   C
With all your alphabet toys 
                     Em
You won the spelling bee now 
                         C
But are you smarter than me now? 
                         Em
You're the prince of the playground 
            Am
Little alphabet boy 

Am                              C
Apples aren't an always appropriate apologies 
Em                                   Am
Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me 
Am                                 C
You call me a child while you keep counting all your coins 
     Em
But you're not my daddy and I'm not your dolly 
     Am
And your dictionary's destroyed 

           Am                  C
I know my ABC's, yet you keep teaching me 
            Em                Am
I say, fuck your degree, alphabet boy 
                 Am                            C
You think you're smarter than me with all your bad poetry 
              Em          Am
Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy 

                 Em
I'm not a little kid now 
             C
Watch me get big now 
                      Em
Spell my name on the fridge now 
                   C
With all your alphabet toys 
                     Em
You won the spelling bee now 
                         C
But are you smarter than me now? 
                         Em
