Song:    Terrific 
Artist:  Drake Bell
Album:   2011 TBA album

Tuning:  Standard (EADGBe)

This was the oddest song I've had to figure out as there are so many chords and 
quite a lot of variety to those chords too!
If some parts are inaccurate then please tell me in a comment but it should sound 
more or less right as I listened to different versions and managed to see some of 
the chords Drake was playing in videos of him at concerts.
Where you'll see a phrase or a word in between two of these *s is where I couldn't 
figure out the lyrics properly but once the album is out I'll be able to change 
the lyrics and chords if anything is different.

Verse 1:
G                        Em              Am               Cm
Strange how things can change, how your consciousness can fade 
G             Em             Am                    Cm
Reason can compete with the drug that shares your name 

Pre-chorus 1:
D                    Fm
And there you are on cue where the light falls
C                     Cm 
Waving at strangers, wearing your name out 
D                       Fm
It does your head in, confiscates meaning
    C                  Cm
But don't get arrested, they can't possess you 

Pre-chorus 2:
G*               Cm        G                  B
 You are not yourself here,  you are someone else dear 

Chorus:
C                 Cmaj9
Aren't you terrific? 
Am                   G
Aren't you terrific now? 

Verse 2:
G                Em            Am                  Cm
All the world applauds, to the popular tricks you choose 
    G               Em              Am                 Cm
But who are they to stop, when your hands are clapping too 

Pre-chorus 1:
D                    Fm
And you believe that, it's an achievement 
C                            Cm
Scratching them where they have no feeling 

Pre-chorus 2:
G*               Cm       G                  B
You are not yourself here,  you are someone else dear 

Chorus:
C                  Cmaj9
Aren't you terrific? 
Am                   G
Aren't you terrific now? 

Bridge:
        G*   Cm
It was you
                          Em         A7
Who spoke out when no-one heard, oh yeah
D             D7           Em    A7                  D
You're not as pure as you were, vanity hangs you by threads

          C*       Cm     Gm            D7
And right now I wish some things were undone
        C*  Cm Gm         D7
It's as natural as it was fun
        C*        Cm       Gm        D7        C*      Cm
This is   not the time to give up yourself to anyone

Pre-chorus 2:
G*              Cm        G*                 B
You are not yourself here,   you are someone else, dear 

Chorus:
C                  Cmaj9
Aren't you terrific? 
Am                   G*
Aren't you terrific?

Pre-chorus 2:
G*             Cm         G*               B
If you saw yourself here,   you would be amazed, dear

Chorus:
C                   Cmaj9 
Are you terrific? 
Am               G
Finally terrific now
