Verse: Dbm E Drown me in my daily cup of tea A Ab Tell the porcupines to quit stabbing me Dbm E They make me fall, but I will stand A Ab 'Cause all of them are jerks with their cups in their hands Dbm E Now they want a whisper, a whisper from me A Ab 'Cause all of them have watched me on their big screen TV's Dbm E But what about little old, little old me? A Ab The one who got bullied because of her teeth Chorus: Dbm E I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise A Ab To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I'm on your mind Dbm E Now you say you love me, but what about before? A Ab When I was just the silly little girl next door Dbm E Oh oh A Ab Ooohoooh Verse: Dbm E Ladies, oh ladies, why are you so mad? A Ab Is it 'cause I'm classy, and you're a trash bag? Dbm E Your teasing and laughing resonates through my heart A Ab And now you're calling me 'cause you want a fresh start Dbm E Now look at you boys, you can't believe your eyes A Ab You told me I was ugly and I took you by surprise Dbm E You should've been nicer, 'cause look where I'm at A Ab While you copy Mac Miller wearing snap-back hats Chorus: Dbm E I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise A Ab To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I'm on your mind Dbm E Now you say you love me, but what about before? A Ab When I was just the silly little girl next door Dbm E Oh oh A Ab Ooohoooh Bridge: Dbm E A Ab Why must you be so mean, talking trash about me? Dbm E A Ab All I wanted was a friend to laugh and cry and spend all of eternity A Ab Or even just a week Interlude: Dbm E A Ab Outro: Dbm E I hope you all are watching my middle finger rise A Ab To the bullies in the schoolyard, I know I'm on your mind Dbm E Now you say you love me, but what about before?

Casually crying because this song is here
instead of the chords E i like to use E7, it sounds almost the same and is much easier.

Transpose to +1 or -4 they’re quite easy
for guitar, put a capo over fret 4 and transpose to -4 😉
hey i noticed the strum pattern was the best when i played DDUD DDUUD for the entire song, i constantly change it but it sounded decent with this pattern, i kinda just played it how i felt it matched hope it’s helpful
-4 sounded the best to me 🙂
is there any alternative chord I could use for Dbm????
Does any one know the strumming pattern?
I used E7 for the E chord, it’s not perfect but it sounds good
Any substitute chords for E?
