Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F][Am][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Always aiming paper airplanes
at [F]me when you're around
You [Am]build me up like building blocks just so
[D]you can bring me down
[Dm]You can crush my Candy Cane but
you'll [F]never catch me cry
If you [Am]dangle that diploma and I dead [D]you,
don't be surprised

[Pre-chorus 1]
I know my [Dm]ABC's, yet you keep [F]teaching me
I say, fuck [Am]your degree, [D]alphabet boy
You think you're [Dm]smarter than me
with all your [F]bad poetry
Fuck all your [Am]ABC's, [D]alphabet boy

[Chorus 1]
I'm not a little [Am]kid now
[G]Watch me get big[F] now
[C]Spell my name on the fri[Am]dge now
[G]With all your alphabet toy[F]s
[C]You won the spelling bee[Am] now
[G]But are you smarter than me [F]now?
[C]You're the prince of the pla[Am]yground
[G]Little alp[D]habet boy

[Interlude 1]
[D][F][Am][D]

[Verse 2]
[Dm]Apples aren't always appropi[F]ate apologies
[Am]Butterscotch and bubblegum
drops are [D]bittersweet to me
[Dm]You call me a child
while you keep [F]counting all your coins
But [Am]you're not my daddy
and I'm not your dolly
And [D]your dictionary's destroyed

[Pre-chorus 2]
I know my [Dm]ABC's, yet you keep [F]teaching me
I say, fuck [Am]your degree, [D]alphabet boy
You think you're [Dm]smarter than me
with all your [F]bad poetry
Fuck all your [Am]ABC's, [D]alphabet boy

[Chorus 2]
I'm not a little [Am]kid now
[G]Watch me get big[F] now
[C]Spell my name on the fri[Am]dge now
[G]With all your alphabet toy[F]s

[G]But are you smarter than me [F]now?
[C]You're the prince of the pla[Am]yground
[G]Little alp[D]habet boy

My alphabet [G]boy
Oh [D]oh[E]
