Tom: Am

   C
My body is a relic of an
G
Untrained ballerina
        Am
Quit at 5, you should've seen her
        F
She was great
C
Scared off by talents in
G
Buns who could balance
   Am               F
An art with an impossible weight

   C
My body is a relic of an
G
Untrained ballerina
        Am
Quit at 5, you should've seen her
        F
She was great

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                    C            E
Waste all my money on books that I won't read
      F                      C        G
Still stories look pretty on my dusty shelf
    Am                      C         E
And I keep shit talking the girls I respect
          F                     C        G
Cause I'm not far away from who I was at 12

[Chorus]
      C         E
I'm a mess in a dress
      F                   G
Just short of a college degree
        C         E
I could never possess
     F              G
The courage of a nobody

C
A sparkling quitter
     E
Self love counterfeiter
    F
I'm safe and I'm stuck as a
 G
Potential winner

  C          E
A mess in a dress
      F                    G
Just short of a college degree

[Verse 2]
C
I'll let the college boys
G
Steal all my powers
         Am
Cause I spent my whole allowance
     F
On a taste
     C
So I preach all my opinions
        G
Always talking never listening
        Am
Always looking for that little girl
 F
I've erased

[Pre-Chorus]
Am                    C            E
Waste all my money on books that I won't read
      F                      C        G
Still stories look pretty on my dusty shelf
    Am                      C         E
And I keep shit talking the girls I respect
          F                     C        G
Cause I'm not far away from who I was at 12

[Chorus]
      C         E
I'm a mess in a dress
      F                   G
Just short of a college degree
        C         E
I could never possess

The courage of a nobody

C
A sparkling quitter
     E
Self love counterfeiter
    F
I'm safe and I'm stuck as a
 G
Potential winner

[Bridge]
                Am
Walking with my ghosts I
             C
Own too many coats and
                F
Girls who can cover my bad side
                 Am
Walking with my ghosts I
                  C
I keep them under oath, no
              F
Wonder why I just can't sleep right

[Chorus]
      C         E
I'm a mess in a dress
      F                   G
Just short of a college degree
        C         E
I could never possess

The courage of a nobody

C
A sparkling quitter

Self love counterfeiter
    F
I'm safe and I'm stuck as a
 G
Potential winner

  C          E
A mess in a dress
      F                    G
Just short of a college degree
