Melanie Martinez - Numbers: Ukulele Chords

              Dm
Count up your portion, count up your checks
               F
Either you're fam or you're comin' at my neck
                 Am
When you gonna freeze with the cool dramatics?
I'm not inspired by your foolish practice

Butter your bullshit, set up your fence
I'm just the chicken giving you the egg
Soon you’re gonna see that your breath was wasted
Don't speak too soon on your doubts, you're making

Am
A big deal out of a little thing

G                              F
Why should I try to conform to formulated pasts
      Dm                              E
When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?

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

Take me to Venus, let me explode
I’m ready to pop like a volcano
Jump over me like you're playing hot lava
Emotions on one hundred thousand, who’s gonna
Shake me like soda creme? But of course
Use all your words to distract from the source
Of where all the growth on the paper happens
Leave me alone to my own concoction

Prickin' all my fingertips to carve out many roads
Pushin' out the petals from the bud of what I know

Chorus:
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that’s your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong like I've done time and time before, and
All my intuition says is expansion comes first, but
Not just by material, I'm talkin' 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel

         F                      Am
They replaced their search for knowledge
         Dm
With the reach of many material gains
               F                 Am
They lack the tenderness of the sensitive
     Dm
Empathetic but he's cryin' from the pain
          F                  Am
It's too late to grow their frame
         Dm
In their mind, seems like it's already made
          F                Am
No use in arguin' with someone who doesn't
       Dm                             F Am Dm
Wanna cry or retice worthy of creation
F                E
Am I just a number?
Dm
Am I just a number?
F                E
Am I just a number?
Dm
Am I just a number?

Chorus:
Am I just a number? 'Cause it seems like that's your goal
You push us past our limits just to watch our numbers grow
Oh, I need a reason why I'm looked at like a joke
Until I prove you wrong which I've done time and time before, and
All my intuition says is expansion comes first, but
Not just by material, I'm talkin' 'bout in here
My heart space and my cranium must be loved too, my dear
Don't push me to the edge until I'm useless and can't feel
