Selection chords: Ethan Cooper

Intro: C Dm C Dm

Verse:
C                             Dm
I was too young to see the truth
C                                 Dm
In my grandmaʼs lap, Iʼm drowning in her perfume
C                 Dm
Too naive to even care
 C                                      Dm
ʼBout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair

Pre-Chorus:
             C
People gonna say
              Dm
If you need a break, someoneʼll take your place
             C
People gonna try
                        Dm
To tell you that youʼre fine
Dm
With dollars in their eyes (Just remember)

Chorus:
C              Dm              C
Donʼt let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
C              Dm
Donʼt let them try (Ooh)
C              Dm
Donʼt let them hurt you, baby
     C                 Dm
Just say, "Recess, Iʼm tired"

Verse:
C                              Dm
Sittinʼ in my room, looking at all Iʼve done
C                       Dm
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
C                                 Dm
I should be happy but I canʼt get out my bed
C                                    Dm
Stressinʼ ʼbout the voices screaminʼ inside my head

Pre-Chorus:
             C
People gonna say
              Dm
If you need a break, someoneʼll take your place
             C
People gonna try
                        Dm
To tell you that youʼre fine
Dm
With dollars in their eyes (Just remember)

Chorus:
C              Dm                  C
Donʼt let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
C              Dm
Donʼt let them try (Ooh)
C              Dm
Donʼt let them hurt you, baby
     C                 Dm
Just say "recess, Iʼm tired"

Bridge:
Am
Where is my time?
Am
Gone in my mind
F
Gone, I canʼt find
F
Euphoria
Am
When I get upset
Am
I think in my head
 G
back to what she said

Pre-Chorus:
             C
People gonna say
              Dm
If you need a break, someoneʼll take your place
             C
People gonna try
                        Dm
To tell you that youʼre fine
Dm
With dollars in their eyes (Just remember)

Chorus:
C              Dm                  C
Donʼt let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
C              Dm
Donʼt let them try (Ooh)
C              Dm
Donʼt let them hurt you, baby
     C                 Dm
Just say "recess," Iʼm tired
