You pay me to exaggerate, I think I've done enough
           C                           G            F
of turning bummers into heartaches and crushes into love
    C                             G             F
Sometimes our lives are mild, our stories: just okay
     C                            G             F          C
I'll set your expectations in the middle when I say: "Hell yep"
G F         C
     A hell yep

I'm just a toddler

For example:

I got cornered by a salesman at a farmers market booth
        C                             G                 F
selling cheap ceramic bowls meant for dogs to eat their food
  C                       G                 F
I haggle like a master, I showed them how I do
  C                      G              F
I didn't want one, but I got a deal for two
     C    G
Hell yep
        F      C      G
I don't have a regret
     F
Or a dog

when I wanna be a big shot
           G                   F
I'm just a toddler with a slingshot

Don't have the strength
G
Don't have the aim
    C                               Am
I'm building up my motor skills and everything's a game
F                     G
You say I'm harmless (you're probably right)
    C                              Am
But nothing is more trouble than a toddler going quiet
        F                    G                     C
Keep an eye on me, keep your eye, keep your eye on me

I asked for half your candy bar
    G                F
you raised it in the air
    C
and split it down the middle
       G              F
made a perfect little pair
    C
You smiled like a sweetheart
   G             F
my hand extended out
    C
You winked at me and popped
            G              F
both of the pieces in your mouth


     C
Hell nope


G    F            C        G            F
That one's a hell nope… no mercy with a Hershey ‘fore she

Don't have the strength
G
Don't have the aim
    C                               Am
I'm building my-my-motor skills and everything's a game
F                     G
You say I'm harmless (so did Goliath)
    C                              Am
But nothing is more trouble than a toddler going quiet
        F                    G
Keep an eye on me, keep your eye, keep your eye
    Am    G  F

     C
They asked me for a catch phrase
  G             F
I didn't miss a step
         C
If their story's kind of boring
        G               F
you can tell 'em: "Hell Yep," Hell Yep!


C
Knock me down a peg
       G                   Am
when I wanna be a big shot
           F                          G
and I will kick it up the next notch


    Am             G
And if I work, put in the labor,
F                     G
blood, sweat, call in every favor
Am              G
Eat my veggies, say my prayers,
F              C    G
push myself to be a danger…


              F              G
... I'll be a preteen with a Taser
