[Intro]

Em   Em   Em   Am


[Verse 1]

     Em
You seem to replace
Em
Your brain with your heart
Em
You take things so hard
         Am
And then you fall apart

    Em 
You try to explain
Em
But before you can start
Em 
Those cry baby tears
     D
Come out of the dark


[Pre-chorus]

Em         Am
Someone's turning the handle
Em       C             Em
To that faucet in your eyes
         Am
They're pouring out
       D
Where everyone can see

Em                Am
Your heart's too big for your body
Em    C                  Em 
It's where your feelings hide
          Am
They're pouring out
        D
Where everyone can see


[Chorus]

              C
They call you cry baby, cry baby
Em
But you don't fucking care
D
Cry baby, cry baby
Am
So you laugh through your tears

C
Cry baby, cry baby
Em
Cause you don't fucking care
D
Tears fall to the ground
Am
You just let them drown


[Instrumental]

Em   Em   Em   Am


[Verse 2]

Em
You're all on your own and
Em
You lost all your friends
Em
You told yourself that
     Am
It's not you, it's them

Em
You're one of a kind
Em
And no one understands
Em
But those cry baby tears
        D
Keep coming back again


[Pre-chorus]

Em         Am
Someone's turning the handle
Em       C             Em
To that faucet in your eyes
         Am
They're pouring out
       D
Where everyone can see

Em                Am
Your heart's too big for your body
Em    C                  Em 
It's where your feelings hide
          Am
They're pouring out
        D
Where everyone can see


[Chorus]

              C
They call you cry baby, cry baby
Em
But you don't fucking care
D
Cry baby, cry baby
Am
So you laugh through your tears

C
Cry baby, cry baby
Em
Cause you don't fucking care
D
Tears fall to the ground
Am
You just let them drown


[Breakdown]

C
Cry baby, cry baby
Em
You just let them drown
D
Cry baby, cry baby
Am
You just let them drown


[B-section]

Em
I look at you and I see myself
C
I know you better than anyone else
D
I have the same faucet in my eyes
Em
So your tears
    D
Are mine


[Chorus] 
  
             C
They call me cry baby, cry baby
Em
But I don't fucking care
D
Cry baby, cry baby
Am
So I laugh through my tears

C
Cry baby, cry baby
Em
Cause I don't fucking care
D
Tears fall to the ground
Am
I just let them drown

              C
They call me cry baby, cry baby
Em
But I don't fucking care
D
Cry baby, cry baby
Am
So I laugh through my tears

C
Cry baby, cry baby
Em
Cause I don't fucking care
D
Tears fall to the ground
Am

 You got weights in your pockets, when you go to the doctor's

You're always aiming paper airplanes at me when you're around
    Em                                       Am
You build me up like building blocks just so you can bring me down
Am                                     C
You can crush my candy cane but you'll never catch me cry

If you dangle that diploma and I deck you, don't be surprised

Spell my name on the fridge now

You won the spelling bee now

But are you smarter than me now?

Apples aren't an always appropriate apologies

Butterscotch and bubblegum drops are bittersweet to me
Am                                 C
You call me a child while you keep counting all your coins
     Em
But you're not my daddy and I'm not your dolly
     Am
And your dictionary's destroyed

Fuck all your ABC's, alphabet boy

Spell my name on the fridge now

With all your alphabet toys

You won the spelling bee now

  Think I just remembered something
Em  
  I think I left the faucet running

   Now my words are filling up the tub

  Darling you're just soaking in it
Em 
  But I know you'll get out the minute
C                     Am
  You notice all your fingers 
        Em
pruning up


[Chorus]
  
                   C        Am 
I'm tired of being careful, tip-toe, 
Em
trying to keep the water warm
C      Am         Em
Let me under your skin
C     Am               Em
Uh oh there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed
C      Am       Em
Why do I always spill?


C                  Am
  I feel it coming out my throat
Em                    G
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
C              Am
  God I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

  Think I got myself in trouble
Em  
  So I fill the bath with bubbles

  Then I'll put the towels all away
C                 Am
  Should've never said the word "love"
Em
  Threw a toaster in the bathtub
C                     Am         
  I'm sick of all the games

I have to play

[Verse]

C
Riding down, riding down
                Em   
My hand on your seat

The whole way round
         C
I carry band-aids on me now
                   Em   
For when your soft hands hit the jagged ground
               Am 
Wheels aren't even touching the ground
                    C    
Scared to take them off but they're so warm now
                Am 
Promise I won't push you straight to the dirt
                         C    
If you promise me you'll take them off first


[Chorus]

  C
I love everything you do

When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do
  Em   
I wanna ride my bike with you
                                    Am 
Fully undressed, no training wheels left for you

I'll pull them off for you

C
Letting go, letting go
            Em   
Telling you things you already know
C
I explode, I explode
           Em   
Asking you where you want us to go
                   Am 
You've been riding two wheelers all your life
                  C    
It's not like I'm asking to be your wife
                 Am 
I wanna make you mine, but that's hard to say
               C    
Is this coming off in a cheesy way?


[Chorus]

I love everything you do

When you call me fucking dumb for the stupid shit I do

Tell me why the hell no one is here

                    Am
She’s getting on my nerves

You don’t love her

Stop lying with those words

Em  D  C  G


[Verse]

              Em
If you weren't born with it
                     D
You can buy a couple ornaments
                         C
Just be sure to read the warning, kids
                            G
Cause pretty soon you'll be bored of it
Em                                D
Sexual, hey girl if you wanna feel sexual
                            C
You can always call up a professional
                              G
They stick pins in you like a vegetable


[Chorus]

Em
Kids forever, kids forever
D
Baby soft skin turns into leather
C
Don't be dramatic it's only some plastic
(stop)
No one will love you if you're unattractive


[Verse]

Em
  Oh Mrs. Potato Head tell me, 
D
  is it true that pain is beauty?
C  
  Does a new face come with a warranty?
G  
  Will a pretty face make it better?
Em
  Oh Mr. Potato Head tell me
D
  How did you afford her surgery?
C
  Do you swear you'll stay forever
G
Even if her face don't stay together
Em    D    
       Even if her face don't stay together


[Instrumental]

C      G


[Bridge]

                          Em
If you want a little more confidence
                                         D
Potatoes turn to french fries, yeah it's common sense
                             C
All you need's a couple more condiments
                                        G
And a hundred thousand dollars for some compliments
     Em
It's such a waste
                                  D
When little girls grow into their mothers face
                                     C
But little girls are learning how to cut and paste
                                    G
And pucker up their lips until they suffocate


[Chorus]

Em
Kids forever, kids forever
D
Baby soft skin turns into leather
C
Don't be dramatic it's only some plastic
(stop)
No one will love you if you're unattractive

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Stay forever, stay forever

Even if her face don't stay together

Poppin' poppin' balloons with guns

We paint white roses red

This dream dream is a killer

Entirely bonkers

My brain is scattered

You can be Alice,
