[Intro]
F#
She likes her rock and roll
To be broke and famous
B
With the broken and nameless
G#
To take all their time
F# G# F# B C#
F# G# F# B C#
F# A# B
[Verse 1]
F#
She likes her rock and roll to be loud and honest
G#
Proud and androgynous, not searching for context
F#
She likes her rock and roll to teach her about herself
G#
And how to [?] not depleting your mental health
F#
She rock and rolled her way out of Poughkeepsie
G#
She left her family so she could be right next to me
F#
Well, do what you gotta do, but
I will tell the truth and
G#
I didn't ask you to
You might be something I cannot lose
[Chorus]
F# B G# F#
We sound nothing like we did at the start
B C# F#
We made some rock and gave up on art
B
I hope you're happy, Mom
G# F#
I wrote a happy song
F#
Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks
F# B G#m F#
I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt
C# F#
I wanna change the world, but also change myself
F#
I hope you're happy, Mom
G# F#
I wrote a happy song
B C# F#
Here's the voice of an aspiring sellout
[Verse 2]
F#
Darling, you got your first taste of fame
G#
I hope it tastes as good as you thought
F#
'Cause once you play the game, nothing's the same
G#
And that fame might be all that she got
F#
'Cause I'd rather live with a broken heart than no heart at all
G#
Left with questions and remarks that narrate the fall
We'll paint a picture and cover it in gray
F#
And peel away an inch every time we feel our love stray
G#
So by the end we could look at the beautiful art
That you and I made, if we don't already fade
[Chorus]
F# B G# F#
We sound nothing like we did at the start
B C# F#
We made some rock and gave up on art
B
I hope you're happy, Mom
G# F#
I wrote a happy song
F#
Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks
F# B G#m F#
I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt
C# F#
I wanna change the world, but also change myself
F#
I hope you're happy, Mom
G# F#
I wrote a happy song
B C# F#
Here's the voice of an aspiring sellout
[Bridge]
B C# A#m
Yet it's someday you don't still love me
B D#m C#
Just know that I will miss you
B
If it's not too much to ask
C# A#m
Maybe someday you'll sit back
B D#m
And you'll find some time you miss me, too
F#
'Cause I can get it wrong
Sometimes I know I'm right
I don't wanna sing another sad song
Just wanna celebrate life
[Chorus]
F# B G# F#
We sound nothing like we did at the start
B C# F#
We made some rock and gave up on art
B
I hope you're happy, Mom
G# F#
I wrote a happy song
F#
Now let's hope that the world holds their remarks
F# B G#m F#
I wanna buy a house without feeling doubt
C# F#
I wanna change the world, but also change myself
F#
I hope you're happy, Mom
G# F#
I wrote a happy song
B C# F#
Here's the voice of an aspiring sellout
