Intro: G D A C x2
Verse 1:
G
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
G D C
Spots on my face too much acne to embrace
G D C
the person behind them
G D C
zits on my back with heads bright white, scarlet and black
G D C
in much too much an awkward place to pop them
G D C
pimples on my chest probably there because I'm stressed
G D C
about the people talking behind my back
G D C
about the spots on my face the ones i wish i could erase
G D C
just like the so called friends that like to tease me about them
Chorus:
G A C D
clearasil and freederm sitting in my bathroom
G A C D
the spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work
G A C D
proactiv solution deserves an execution
G A C D (hold)
for being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me
C (hold)
'cause I'm an acne ridden teen
Intro
Verse 2:
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
countless times I've tried and tried but my skin just ends up all dry
and I'm left wanting to say inside
but then one day I said charlie it's not as bad as it could be
they're only spots it's not like you've died
be a man, be who you are but try not to pop them in case they scar
even though squeezing them is fun
understand at the end of the day to put your hands down and say okay
get out of the bathroom,
and lie out in the sun (because I heard that helps)
Chorus:
clearasil and freederm sitting in my bathroom
the spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work
proactiv solution deserves an execution
for being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me
'cause I'm an acne ridden teen
D (hold)
but I won't let that define me
C (hold) D (build)
because the people that mind don't matter
C D
and the people that matter don't mind
C D
so when all that puss goes splatter
C D
wipe it off your mirror, and wipe it from your mind
G D C
you could try and dairy free diet
G D C
and drink 8 cups of water a day
G D C
but in the end your acne will still run riot
G D C
'cause the hormones that cause them, just won't go away
