[Verse 1]
Em
When I grow up, I think that I could be an actress
Em
I'll let the camera find the truth in these little eyes
Em
And I could feel what it was like to be electric
Em
And let the people hear me scream and shout with this little mouth
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
And if I let all my demons out how you would love it
C D Em D
And I would let the makeup run all down my face
[Chorus 1]
C
I'm a philosopher
Em
I try to put it all behind me
C
I'm a philosopher
Em
I gotta try to keep it down
C
I'm a philosopher
Am Em
No, I'll never let it find me
C
I'm a philosopher
Am Em
Gotta control it somehow
[Verse 2]
Em C
And when they're finished with me I could be your lover
Em C D
And you could try to find the blush of youth in these cheeks
Em C
Try to forget what it was like to be electric
Em C D
And to wink at all the boys at home with these eyes
[Chorus 2]
C D
I'm a philosopher
Em D
With these hands
C D
I'm a philosopher
Em D
With this mouth
C
I'm a philosopher
D Em D
I will rise
C
I'm a philosopher
D Em
Let me out
[Bridge]
D G D C
I'm getting all excited now
C G D
But you know when this is over
G D C
I'll be looking for a way to let it go
C G D C
I'm getting all excited now
C G D
But it's only for a moment
G D C
No you can't hurt what you can't hold
