(ver. 1)
Melanie Martinez
[Intro]
 Bm Em Bm A Bm Em Bm A

[Verse 1]
      Bm               Em        D                 F#m
I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast
Bm                            Em                E                        A
Since I was in Sunday School and all the cool kids said I was weird
      Bm
It's exactly the same, they say:
                   Em                                          G
"Why do you dress that way? Why do you act that way?
                      Bm           A
Why aren't you just like me?
               Bm
So is that what you really wanna say to me?
                 Em
You playin' games with me
                                           Em7
Tellin' me you're for my kind, still, you abandon me
                                A
Calling me words I'm not, painting a picture that's false
Bm                                               Em
You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault
E                                                  A
You live in a world in your clutch, you don't get out very much
Bm                                             Em                         D
Living in a fake world, filled with facades and chaotic behavior

[Pre-Chorus]
                                     A                                  F#
You pull the lever for fun, yell "fire", then you just run

[Chorus]

      Bm                                      Em
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit
                      D                                           C#
Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?
       Bm                            Em
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
                 D                                              A
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
   Bm                  Em
It kills, I wish the best for you
D                    C#m7                     Bm
And you, think I ignore you too, but
                          Em
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
D                                Am
  Be present more, and so should you, it's alright to
Bm     Em
Cryin' inside

[Verse 2]

           D                                  A
'Cause nothin' I say ever comes out right
       Em
We're on the same side
         D                                        F#m
If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide
      Bm               Em
I'm bad at public speaking
                                    F#m
But I'm speaking now so hear me out (Shut up)
   Bm              Em                 E7             F#m
I personally believe that everyone is fully capable
    Bm                                                    Em
Of more than what they're doing, all of the bullying
                                             Em                                       Am
All of the screwing around with people they don't even really know, oh (Blah, blah, blah)
Bm                                      A
Eating a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet
     D
All 'cause you were bored one day
                  D
Losing your wits and your grace

[Chorus]

      Bm                                      Em
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit
                      D                                           C#
Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?
       Bm                            Em
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
                 D                                              A
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
   Bm                  Em
It kills, I wish the best for you
D                    C#m7                     Bm
And you, think I ignore you too, but
                          Em
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
D                                Am
  Be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Bridge]

Bm
I am not the government
Em
I am not the f**ked up men
E                             F#7
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Bm                                        Em
Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore

                                             F#
Even for people who hurt and betray me (Okay)
Bm
I am not the government
Em
I am not the f**ked up men (Gross)
E                             F#7
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Bm                                        Em
Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore

                                             F#
Even for people who hurt and betray me

[Last Chorus]

      Bm                                      Em
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit
                      D                                           C#
Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?
       Bm                            Em
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
                 D                                              A
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
   Bm                  Em
It kills, I wish the best for you
D                    C#m7                     Bm
And you, think I ignore you too, but
                          Em
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
D                                Am
  Be present more, and so should you, it's alright to


I'm getting out of here
