None of the versions of this song on UG are even close to being correct so I decided to contribute :)
I'm 99.789781% sure these are right. Corrections welcome.
Some of the timing is difficult so I made sure to get place the chords exactly where they should be with
respect to the lyrics.
*=single strum (or you can just pluck the pizzicato notes you hear in the song)
[Intro]
F Am C D
[Verse 1]
FAlways aiming paper airplanes at Amme when you're around
You Cbuild me up like building blocks just so Dyou can bring me down
FYou can crush my candy cane but you'll Amnever catch me cry
If you Cdangle that diploma and I dead Dyou, don't be surprised
[Pre-Chorus]
I know my FABC's, yet you keep Amteaching me
I say f*** Cyour degree, alphabetD boy
You think you're Fsmarter than me with all your Ambad poetry
Fuck all your CABC's, alphabetD boy
[Chorus]
I'm not a little Amkid now G
Watch me get Fbig now C
Spell my name on a Amfridge now G
With all your alphabFet toys C
You won the spelling Ambee now G
But are you smarter than Fme now? C
You're the prince of the Amplayground G
Little alphabeDt boy
[Interlude]
F Am C D
[Verse 2]
FApples aren't always appropriAmate apologies
CButterscotch and bubblegum drops are Dbittersweet to me
FYou call me a child while you keep Amcounting all your coins
But Cyou're not my daddy and I'm not your dolly
And Dyour dictionary's destroyed
[Pre-Chorus]
I know my FABC's, yet you keep Amteaching me
I say f*** Cyour degree, alphabetD boy
You think you're Fsmarter than me with all your Ambad poetry
Fuck all your CABC's, alphabetD boy
[Chorus]
I'm not a little Amkid now G
Watch me get Fbig now C
Spell my name on a Amfridge now G
With all your alphabFet toys C
You won the spelling Ambee now G
But are you smarter than Fme now? C
You're the prince of the Amplayground G
