Original Song At An Unflattering Angle

A Am E E7
A Am E

[Verse 1]
      A      Am   E     E7
I am made up of broken parts
     A       Am  E
That I don’t like to show
         A        Am    E          E7
I have spent most of my adolescent life
        A        Am      E
Tryna spool them out as I go

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A     Am        E        E7
Imperfections wrap their arms
  A        Am     E
Around me like a lover
      A      Am         E      E7
And when it seems I survive a storm
   A       Am      E
I have to weather another

[Chorus]
          A               Am                     E
Isn’t it funny how dreams come alive outside your head?
          C#m
Because I wanted this, I fought for this
E                     A         Am      E
I was so sure, now I wanna hide under my bed
                            A
And things aren’t like the movies
        Am                   E
I was critical of fairytales even then
       C#m
But I wanted this, I fought for this
E                     A         Am      E
I was so sure, now I wanna hide under my bed

[Verse 2]
    A         Am       E       E7
A change of scenery is always nice
        A               Am     E
But it doesn’t do the trick anymore
A    Am           E       E7
California’s the resting place
        A           Am          E
Of the bitter, the loveless, and the scorned

[Pre-Chorus 2]
    A       Am       E     E7
And I know this is what I saw
   A     Am         E
In advertisements on TV
A    Am    E     E7
Delicate dresses are
      A            Am         E
A disguise of the cold industry

[Chorus]
          A               Am                     E
Isn’t it funny how dreams come alive outside your head?
          C#m
Because I wanted this, I fought for this
E                     A         Am      E
I was so sure, now I wanna hide under my bed
                            A
And things aren’t like the movies
        Am                   E
I was critical of fairytales even then
       C#m
But I wanted this, I fought for this
E                     A         Am      E
I was so sure, now I wanna hide under my bed

[Bridge]
  B         C#m7
Please will you let me
                A
Know when it’s safe for me
    Am     E
To come outside?
  B     C#mu
Please excuse the absence
     A
Of emotion
     Am     E
From my eyes

[Ending]
                 A
‘Cause isn’t it funny

How dreams come to life
    Am               E
Outside of your head?
