[Verse 1: Kimya Dawson]
GEver (320003@1)since I was a kid
DOn (xx0232@1)the backs of my two eyelids
CI (x32010@1)hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from who knows where
GA (320003@1)walkie-talkie on a mission
DRoger, (xx0232@1)roger will I listen
COr (x32010@1)will I just pass it along
In the form of a sing-a-long
GWhen (320003@1)muse annoys, devoid and null
DI (xx0232@1)feel a tingle in my skull
CLike (x32010@1)ticker tape the words appear
There's a parade between my ears
GI (320003@1)preach self-love, I know it's true
DIt's (xx0232@1)easier to say than do
CI (x32010@1)sing these messages to you
But now I need to hear them too
G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)           CI (x32010@1)am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am lovable
G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)           CI (x32010@1)am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am lovable

[Verse 2: Aesop Rock]
             GI (320003@1)was laying bricks in a line
Yap full of dog toy
DPicturing (xx0232@1)a life beyond that of a protocol droid
CBleep (x32010@1)bloop boy ox boycott pea soup
First learn to eat pain at St. Peter's preschool-yum
GNow (320003@1)that's a painkiller I can speak through
DAirbrush (xx0232@1)letters on a pristine gene pool
CSee, (x32010@1)my mother said her father drew a ton
But all his cartoons had been swallowed by the Susquehanna flood in '72
GThe (320003@1)year that he would subsequently pass
DI (xx0232@1)know he had a stroke but I assume that's only half
CBut (x32010@1)now I'm signing up for finger-drawing class in a tux like a gentleman
Marrying his ash to his dust
GLast (320003@1)on the kickball team draft pick-list
DFirst (xx0232@1)to the King Kullen practicing his kickflips
CI'd (x32010@1)like to say it's 'cause I was a rebel
Truthfully it's easier to say "oh hell" instead of "hello"
GHi, (320003@1)you need to get out more
         DI (xx0232@1)dunno, I don't wanna be there when the geometry domino
CYou (x32010@1)need to get out more
Maybe, or maybe his pace is better suited for pacing
GYou (320003@1)need to get out more
       DNever- (xx0232@1)I am nailed to the floor-I am snail under pressure
CYou (x32010@1)need to get out more
Fine

[Verse 3: Kimya Dawson]
GEver (320003@1)since I was a kid
DOn (xx0232@1)the backs of my two eyelids
CI (x32010@1)hid two Teleprompters there
Transmitting words from who knows where
GAnd (320003@1)this is why when I'm on stage
DMy (xx0232@1)eyes are closed, I'm in a haze
CI (x32010@1)looks like I'm made out of clay
I'm overwhelmed and under-glazed
GI'm (320003@1)making vases out of snakes
DI'm (xx0232@1)a kiln half-full of mistakes
CWhen (x32010@1)kneading it, air's overlooked
It's gonna crack when it gets cooked
GSo (320003@1)self-forgiveness is the key
DTo (xx0232@1)re-sculpting my sanity
CMindfulness, (x32010@1)humility
And taking time to care for me
GI (320003@1)preach self-love, I know it's true
DIt's (xx0232@1)easier to say than do
CI (x32010@1)sing these messages to you
But now I need to hear them too
G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)           CI (x32010@1)am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable
G (320003@1)            D (xx0232@1)           CI (x32010@1)am beautiful I am powerful I am strong and I am loveable

[Verse 4: Aesop Rock]
             GI (320003@1)was laying bricks in a line
Yap full of copper-top
DPicturing (xx0232@1)a life beyond that of a dish-washer
    CPot (x32010@1)buzz ping
Criss-crossed arms in a tub ring
Learned heartbreak on a Zelda-1 sub screen-numb
G (320003@1)                                       DLearned (xx0232@1)dark days by the scent of poached dove meat
Some part ways and it's fugly
CMaybe (x32010@1)the sum of the parts became lesser
That each individually making the same gesture
GAnd (320003@1)you don't wanna interrupt the overlapping network
DSo (xx0232@1)you throw a bag together and elope with cabin pressure
CTo (x32010@1)disappear instead of interfere with any customs
Or differing definitions of liberty and justice
GBig (320003@1)dummy dig a hole in the dirt
DHe (xx0232@1)put his head in the hole; he is alone in this world
    CAnd (x32010@1)dying slowly from the comfort of his home full of worms
Until you hear a little voice say "yo let's go get dessert"
Wait-what?
GYou (320003@1)need to get out more
       DI (xx0232@1)dunno-over 2 million dead bats in NY alone
CYou (x32010@1)need to get out more
Maybe, maybe not
Maybe I'll just stay back and survey the lot
GYou (320003@1)need to get out more
       DNever- (xx0232@1)I am nailed to the floor in a jail made of deserts
CYou (x32010@1)need to get out more
OK
