A Song About Acne

Intro 2x: G  D  A  C

G           D     C
spots on my face, too much acne to embrace
    G         D   C
The person behind them
G          D          C
Zits on my back, with heads bright white, scarlet and black
   G                   D              C
In much too much an awkward place to pop them

G             D      C
Pimples on my chest, probably there because I’m stressed
          G           D            C
About the people talking behind my back
           G       D         C
About the spots on my face, the ones I wish I could erase
       G                D                    C
Just like the so called friends that like to tease me about them

G             D         A             C
Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom
    G                 D               A                 C
The spots on my face can confirm that they don’t really work
G        D         A             C
Proactiv solution deserves an execution
    G        D             A                C
For being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me
              G    D      A C
'Cause I’m an acne ridden teen

( G  D  A  C ) (2x)

G                    D                   A                 C
Countless times I’ve tried and tried but my skin just ends up all dry
    G        D          C
And I’m left wanting to say inside
    G              D                     C
But then one day I said: “Charlie, it’s not as bad as it could be
 G                        D              C
They’re only spots, it’s not like you’ve died”

G            D                C
Be a man, be who you are, but try not to pop them in case they scar
G           D                 C         G
Even though squeezing them is fun, fun, fun
                  D              C
Understand at the end of the day to put your hands down and say okay
      G        D             C
Get out of the bathroom, and lie out in the sun (because I heard that helps)

Clearasil and Freederm, sitting in my bathroom
    G                D                A                 C
The spots on my face can confirm that they don’t really work
G        D        A              C
Proactiv solution deserves an execution
    G        D             A                C
For being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me
              G    D       C
'Cause I’m an acne ridden teen

      D
But I won’t let that define me
  C                                D
Because the people that mind don’t matter
        C                        D
And the people that matter don’t mind

   C                       D
So when all that puss goes splatter
C                            D
Wipe it off your mirror, and wipe it from your mind
G                    D         C
You could try and dairy free diet
    G               D       C
And drink 8 cups of water a day
    G               D         C
But in the end your acne will still run riot
           G             D                C
'Cause the hormones that cause them, just won’t go away

G        D         A             C
Proactiv solution deserves an execution

'Cause I’m an acne ridden
D
Somewhat smelly,
C
Kind of weird
    D               G
But generally, a OK teen
