Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm][F][C][Am]

[Verse 1]
Count up your [Dm]portion, count up your checks
Either you're [F]fam or you're comin' at my neck
When you gonna [C]freeze
with the cool dramatics?
I'm not in[Am]spired by your foolish practice
Why do you [Dm]bullshit? Side up your fence
I'm just a [F]chicken givin' you the egg
Soon, you're gonna [C]see
that your platform's wasted
Don't speak too [Am]soon
on your doubts you're making

[Pre-chorus 1]
A big deal out of a little thing
[G]Why should I try to conform
to [F]formulated pasts
When [Dm]clearly all my instincts led
to [E]something more magical?

[Chorus 1]
[Am]Am I just a number
'cause it [Dm]seems like that's your goal?
You [F]push us past our limits
just to [E]watch decimals grow
[Am]Oh, I need a reason why
I'm [Dm]looked at like a joke
Un[F]til I prove you wrong
like I've done [E]time and time before
And [C]I don't like your teachings
and your [Dm]criticisms lack
The [Am]potential to pageantry,
my [E]solid golden path
To [Am]this, I hope my future is
a [Dm]mild, clairvoyant
There's [F]no controlling
the imagi[E]nation I'm ascending

[Verse 2]
Take me to [Dm]Venus, let me explode
I'm ready to [F]pop like a volcano
Jump over [C]me like you're playing hot lava
Emotions on [Am]one hundred thousand,
who's gonna
Drink me like [Dm]soda? Theme, but of course
Use all your [F]words to distract from the source
Aware of the [C]growth, on the paper happens
Leave me a[Am]lone in my own concoction

[Pre-chorus 2]
[G]Breakin' all my fingertips
to [F]carve out many roads
[Dm]Pushin' out the paddles
from the [E]boat of what I know

[Chorus 2]
[Am]Am I just a number
'cause it [Dm]seems like that's your goal?
You [F]push us past our limits
just to [E]watch decimals grow
[Am]Oh, I need a reason why
I'm [Dm]looked at like a joke
Un[F]til I prove you wrong
like I've done [E]time and time before
And [C]all my intuition says,
as [Dm]expansion comes first
But [Am]watch us buy material
and [E]talkin' 'bout in here
My [Am]heart space and my cranium
must [Dm]be love to my dear
Don't [F]push me to the edge
until I'm [E]useless and can't feel

[Bridge 1]
They re[F]placed their search for [Am]knowledge
With the [Dm]reach of any material gains
They lack the [F]tenderness of the [Am]sensitive
Empa[Dm]thetic but he's cryin' from the pain
It's too [F]late to grow their [Am]frame
Of [Dm]mind, it seems like it's already made
No use in [F]arguin' with some[Am]one who doesn't
Wanna [Dm]prioritize one thing of creation
[F][Am][Dm][Dm]
[F]Am I just a [Am]number?
[Dm]Am I just a number?
[F]Am I just a [Am]number?
[Dm]Am I just a number?

[Chorus 3]
[F]Am I just a number
'cause it [Am]seems like that's your goal?
You [Dm]push us past our limits
just to watch our numbers grow
[F]Oh, I need a reason why
I'm [Am]looked at like a joke
Un[Dm]til I prove you wrong,
which I've done time and time before
And [F]all my intuition says,
as [Am]expansion comes first
But [Dm]watch us buy material
and talkin' 'bout in here
My [F]heart space and my cranium
must [Am]be love to my dear
Don't [Dm]push me to the edge
until I'm useless and can't feel
