[Verse 1]
C G D Am
I put in all my hours
C G D Am
I'm playing every night just to get a little better at guitar
C G D Am
I'm taking singing lessons at 80 bucks a lesson (who the hell am I impressin?)
C G Em
Why do I work so hard?
[Bridge]
C G D Em
I've searched my soul, dug deep below, to find the answer
C G D
The only reason for it is...
[Chorus]
N.C. C G D Em
I was an ugly kid with a handsome older brother
C G D Em C
Yeah I was a catch like a cold or an ugly fish
G
I knew what to do:
D Em C
Wear my talent like a mask and hope it magically distracts you
G D
But I'm back, I've practiced, my acts together, I got: better and
Em
A Point to Prove

[Verse 2]
C
I didn't know her but in June I got her screen name
G D
As valuable as gold for antisocial kids in 10th grade
Am C
I spent the rest of my vacation glued down to my chair, was
G D Am
Afraid to miss a second of our digital affair 'cause
C
When summer ended I would finally be the guy
G D
I tried to be in person, but could only be online
Am C
The first day of the school year we get our seat assignments
G N.C. Em
I ended up right next to her and we just sat in silence
[Bridge]
C G D Em
And I wouldn't wish that awkwardness on anybody
C D D N.C.
I think the reason for it is
[Chorus]
C G D Em
I was a chubby kid with an athletic old brother
C G D Em C
Yeah I was a catch as in I was easy to catch during tag ('cause I was fat!)
G
I knew what to do
[Bridge]
D D C
I will chase a newer passion 'cause I'm sick of nothing happenin'
G D D
But I'm back, I've practiced, my acts together, I got: better and
Em
A Point to Prove

[Verse 3]
C G D Em
And I have hit the bottom, been lost, tossed, and gosh, I've been burned by gossip
C G D Em
And I have gone full hot Topic, 'was an ugly duckling crossed with a few hot Pockets
C G D Em
And I'll be damned if where I am's not what I worked for
C G
I think the reason for it is
[Chorus]
C G D Em
I wasn't talented when all I wanted was attention
C G D Em C
I was in no way, no way a catch in life or love
G
I knew what to do
[Outro]
D N.C. Em C
To do it 'cause I love it (and one-up my older brother) yeah
G
Nah I'm just playin' 'cause I've stopped
D N.C. Em
Dying from embarassments, hiding from comparisons
D
I'm driven, I've got vision, time, ambition, and a
Em
Point to Prove
