Standard Tuning


A                             C#m
You've been famous since your birth
                    Abm
And a silent one it was,
                         B
Till they told me it's a girl
              A
And everybody gasped
                        C#m
I know how to raise you right
                 Abm
Teach you how to read
                                    B
Do math, share toys spell names and alphabet
              A        C#m       Abm        B
And how to be polite

A                             C#m
You've been famous since your birth
                    Abm
And a silent one it was,
                         B
Till they told me it's a girl
              A
And everybody said
                           C#m
You and your atlas know it all
                Abm
Let the corners curl
                   B
Cause if you go by night
                         E
You'll hit the coast for sure

------------------------------------------
...Verse goes straight into chorus on E
------------------------------------------
Chorus

E      Eb/B         Abm
It's a ruse, it's a laugh
                 B
Experts, they'd agree
B
Listen to the math
E     Eb/B   Abm
Australopithecine
              B
Rekindle your heart
B
These hospital machines
                        A    C#m    Abm    B
Are state of the art

A                       C#m
I've put down my middle name
                   Abm
In the back of her book
                      B
And signed it just in case
                  A
Our walk was over love
                              C#m
Cause I've got one more up my sleeve
             Abm
Bring it out tonight
                  B
Cause if I am the joke
                          E
Then you're the punchline

E | -------------------------------- | ------------ | 

End on:
             B
But it's the art of the state
That's gonna keep me awake
         E
I need a second opinion
Not a second to waste
