C#
I wake up early
    C#maj7        F#
Sometimes at 5:30 to run
   C#
My mom got too worried
  C#maj7                  F#
I had to tell her it was fun

    C#             F7
Oh, I feel like a failure
     F#
If I don't skip breakfast and lunch

    C#
I'm chasing a body
  C#maj7                   F#
I know that I'll never outrun

Chorus:
       C#         C#maj7
'Cause I'll always wish
                F#
I was smaller than this
    C#           C#maj7
And I just can't quit
               F#
Pulling at my skin
         A#m                        G#
Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like
       F#
How I look and I wish I knew why
       C#          C#maj7
'Cause I'll always wish
                    F#
I was smaller than this

I'll set a goal for myself and
I'll try to work hard
I'll reach it but swear I look just like
I did from the start

I know that it's not true but I feel like
I'm the only one
Who's chasing a body I know that I'll never outrun

Chorus:
'Cause I'll always wish I was smaller than this
And I just can't quit pulling at my skin
Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like
How I look and I wish I knew why
That I'll always wish I was smaller than this

C#
I was smaller
I was smaller
F#
I was smaller
I wish I was
C#
I was smaller
I was smaller
F#
I was smaller
I wish I was

Chorus:
I'll always wish I was smaller than this
(I was smaller, I was smaller)
And I just can't quit pulling at my skin
(I was smaller, I was smaller)
(I was smaller, I was smaller)
Oh, I'm scared that I'm never gonna like
How I look and I wish I knew why
That I'll always wish I was smaller than this
