This is Bo Burnham's "song from the perspective of God." Genius comic. Really brilliant stuff. Don't let the way I've distributed the chords to the lyrics confuse you. It's a simple song in 4/4 with no weird tempo or time signature changes. Only a key change after the last refrain. Excluding the refrain, each chord gets one bar (four beats) and there's a lot of repetition. It's not hard to figure out. Also note that there are a couple versions of this song so far. This transcription is based on what I'm pretty sure is the latest and probably complete version. http://youtu.be/MzA_jQeA1EA Intro (slower): E A C#m B Verse 1 (up to tempo):
EI've never Awritten a book in my C#mlife B E'Cause your tiny Abrains would never get it. C#mMe compared to Shakespeare's like BShakespeare compared to Shakespeare's Awife. I gave you Beverything, but EI gave you simple C#mminds so you made simple things. AI gave you healthy Bbirds, you made chicken wings. EI gave you nipplesC#m, you made nipple rings. EYou're not Agoing to heaven. C#mWhy would you ever think I'd Bever hang out with you? EYou're all Adicks, I don't need you. C#mI know a million Baliens cooler than Ayou.B
So, fuck you. Refrain: Here, the first two chords get four beats, but the G#m gets eight.
EOh my, I said, C#moh my, G#mGod. EOh my, C#moh my, GodG#m. I'm Enot gonna fix you.C#m I'm G#mnot gonna fix you. I said Eoh my, C#moh my, G#mGod.
Verse 2:
EPeople give me Amoney, but I don't know C#mwhy. B E'Cause my real Acollection plate is an C#mempty cup Bheld by a homeless Aguy. I made Bevery girl Edifferent, and they're all C#mperfect just the way they Aare. People Btell them different, and Epeople are smartC#m. I just made the Estars. You think you know Abeauty and love. C#mTrust me, you don't; I'm the Bone who created them. EYou're overpopuAlated, so I slaved for C#mdays making gays and you Bended up hating them. AFuckB youuuu!
[Repeat refrain] Bridge: Same chords as the refrain, just in a different rhythm. E C#m G#m x4
EI created many C#mbeings, but you're the Ebstrangest that I've ever G#mmet. EYou think that you're my C#mchildren, but you're Ebmore like an annoying G#mpet. The EMessiah made the C#mpeople wonder Ebheavenly whether he's G#mme, But I'm not Einto saving C#mpeople who might Ebnail me to a fucking G#mtree. You're all Eangry, crying, C#msad, and lost. You Ebworship power and G#mwealth. The Emore that I watch youC#m, the less I beEblieve in myself.
Refrain: This refrain ends a bit differently for the launch into the key change.
EOh my, I said, C#moh my, G#mGod. EOh my, C#moh my, GodG#m. I'm Enot gonna fix you.C#m I'm G#mnot gonna fix you. I said Eoh my, C#moh my, AGodB.
Verse 3:
F#You're looking for Banswers that won't be EbmfoundC#, no. F#How many Banswers can a raindrop Ebmfind C#before it hits the ground? F#You think I Bkill you people. EbmYou ask me 'C#Why?' when a child F#dies. Why would I Bkill someone when a Ebmhundred years C#passes when I blink my F#eyes?
