Tom: C

C                        G
See these magazines with pretty girls rockin' 
Am         F                       C         
Size four, skinny jeans and on my Television-screens there are
G                       Am                         F
endless beauty routines, telling me how to look and how I should be perceived
C                     G                              Am
And online you're not safe from thigh gaps and ideal weights
                   F
I think it's time, time that I took a break


[Verse 2]
C                        G
See these magazines with pretty girls rockin' 
Am         F                      C
Size four, skinny jeans and on my television-screens there are 
G                       Am             
endless beauty routines, brainwashing our teens, just to ruin self-esteem
C                     G                              Am
And online you're not safe from thigh gaps and ideal weights
                   F
I think it's time, time that I took a break.


[Interlude]
C  G  Am  F


[Verse 3]
          C                  G
You could dress me up like a paperdoll, 
       Am           F
But it doesn't mean I'll do what I'm told
C                            G
And just because you know my name
                           Am
From my fifteen minutes of fame
                        F                                 C
Doesn't mean I'll never change, it's too hard to stay the same
                      G                           Am
And online you're not safe from sly adds and anon hate
                   F
I think it's time, time that I took a break


[Chorus]
C       G         Am      F
Someday we should venture to the outernet
C       G         Am      F
Someday we should venture to the outernet


[Verse 4]
C                                       G 
Too much time on the internet, it's not hard to find what people said
Am                                                       F
Why did you change, where's your innocence, where's your blond hair why did you dye it red
         C
When you sing you sound like a 10 year old
            G
You're that ginger kid from a TV-show
             Am
If you don't like what you hear then turn it off
         F
It's not like I'm being played on the radio
C                     G                                  Am
And online you're not safe from fake likes on a Facebook page
                   F
I think it's time, time that I took a break


[Chorus]
C       G         Am      F
Someday we should venture to the outernet 
C       G         Am      F
Someday we should venture to the outernet


[Verse 5]
      C 
There used to be a day where all I wanted to be 
       G
Was as pretty as those girls in the magazines
   Am
It tore me up and it tore me apart,
         F
I didn't see myself as a piece of art
          C
We should teach or kids how to love themselves 
    G
Not compare to what the media sells,
       Am
'Cause in this world you can never win,
        F
Because loving yourself is so unacceptable
C                     G                                  Am
And online you're not safe from fake likes on a Facebook page
                   F
I think it's time, time that I took a break.


[Bridge]
C                  G      Am                 F
Time that I took a break, time that I took a break (took a break)
C                   G      Am                 F
Time that we took a break, time that I took a break (took a break)


[Chorus]
C       G         Am      F
Someday we should venture to the outernet
C       G         Am      F
Someday we should venture to the outernet


[Outro]
        C
I'll do anything for a like
G
Anything for a share
Am
Anything for a retweet
F
To gain a follower

C
Anything for a like
G
Anything for a share 
Am
Anything for a retweet
F
where's all my followers?
