I'm writing "young a[Em]nd gifted" in my autobiography[A]
[C]I figured who would know better tha[G]n me
I'm [Em]certainly the former but I'm [A]not so much the latter
But [C]no one's going to read it so I'm [G]sure it doesn't [F#]matter
[Bm]When you find that you're the [E]former
Take [C]pride in [G]how you [D]form
[Bm]And when you find that you're the [E]ladder
[A]Don't let those people [F#]walk under you
I'm[Em] writing "sharp and adult" with my [A]finger on the steam
[C]On the mirror in my bathroom I'm[G] applying shaving cream
Which would sug[Em]gest that I'm the foamer but how [A]can I be the lather
But [C]something tells me it's the [G]opposite I'd [F#]rather
[Bm]When you find that you're the [E]foamer
Be ca[C]reful [G]what you [D]foam
[Bm]When you find that you're the [E]lather
Don't [A]shave too high you're re[F#]gret it later
[Bm]Ah [G]ah [E]ah la la [A]la [F#]la la la la (repeat)
I[Em] stayed in school this long but still no [A]one will tell me why
[C]They figured who would know better tha[G]n I
I [Em]know I'm a conformer but I'm [A]sure it doesn't matter
My n[C]ew friends are all adults and my [G]old friends have all [F#]scattered
[Bm]When you find you're a con[E]former
Take [C]pride and [G]swallow [D]whole
[Bm]But if you're trying to climb the [E]ladder
Don't let [F]people [C]walk over [G]you
Because [F]that's just [C]what they'll [G]do
Don't let [F]people [C]walk over [G]you
