Sloan - Autobiography

I'm ^Emwriting "young and gifted" in my ^Aautobiography ^CI figured who would know better tha^Gn me I'm ^Emcertainly the former but I'm ^Anot so much the latter But ^Cno one's going to read it so I'm ^Gsure it doesn't ^F#matter

^BmWhen you find that you're the ^Eformer Take ^Cpride in ^Ghow you ^Dform ^BmAnd when you find that you're the ^Eladder ^ADon't let those people ^F#walk under you

I'm^Em writing "sharp and adult" with my ^Afinger on the steam ^COn the mirror in my bathroom I'm^G applying shaving cream Which would sug^Emgest that I'm the foamer but how ^Acan I be the lather But ^Csomething tells me it's the ^Gopposite I'd ^F#rather

^BmWhen you find that you're the ^Efoamer Be ca^Creful ^Gwhat you ^Dfoam ^BmWhen you find that you're the ^Elather Don't ^Ashave too high you're re^F#gret it later

^BmAh ^Gah ^Eah la la ^Ala ^F#la la la la (repeat) I^Em stayed in school this long but still no ^Aone will tell me why ^CThey figured who would know better tha^Gn I I ^Emknow I'm a conformer but I'm ^Asure it doesn't matter My n^Cew friends are all adults and my ^Gold friends have all ^F#scattered

^BmWhen you find you're a con^Eformer Take ^Cpride and ^Gswallow ^Dwhole ^BmBut if you're trying to climb the ^Eladder

Don't let ^Fpeople ^Cwalk over ^Gyou Because ^Fthat's just ^Cwhat they'll ^Gdo Don't let ^Fpeople ^Cwalk over ^Gyou Because ^Fthat's just ^Cwhat they'll ^Gdo
