[Verse 1]
G
You were told, back in the day,
D C
If you don't have anything nice to say to keep quiet.
D
Don't be a jerk, don't devalue the work
Someone's done, even if you don't like it
G
I was told, back in the day,
D C
You can judge a man by the way that he treats others
D
To find someone nice; there is all this advice
So a girl doesn't find herself being used
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C
But both you and I resist control
D
And neither of us did the things we were told and
[Chorus 1]
G D
I love you, even though you are an Internet troll
C
There's something about you that I want to know
It's the way that you write
D
So offensive and trite
With such passion; it's sort of appealing
G D
I love you, even though you're a commenter from hell
C
The predictable way you don't know how to spell
And you're hateful
Disgusting, ungrateful
D
Like you don't understand, other people have feelings
[Verse 2]
G
I feel like you don't even know
D
If you don't enjoy a YouTube video
C
You can stop it. You don't have to watch it.
D
Your ignorance is just amazing.
G
It seems like you've never heard
D
That if media doesn't speak your words
C
You can make something new, express your view
D
It's a delight how you're so darn lazy
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C
The Internet makes you feel so empowered
D
You almost forget you're a stupid coward
[Chorus 2]
G D
I love you, even though you are an Internet troll
C
Online you've got no self-control
And the things that you say aren't OK
D
Even when you're anonymous at a distance
G D
I love you even though you're a commenter from hell
C
The magical way you get angry so well
And so quickly, you're zero to 60
D
But I've got to admire your persistence
[whistle break!]
[Verse 3]
G
We were told, back in the day
D
That if someone's a bully that's because they
C
Are sad with themselves, they're broken and need help
D
And they put others down so that they feel better
G
And yes, that is true
D C
I know you are hateful because you completely lack value
But I still like you
D
I bet you'd know how to fix my computer
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C
It makes you happy when others are sad
D
It's cute how you blame the world for making you feel bad
[Chorus 3]
G D
I love you even though you are an Internet troll
Em
Even though you're deeply sad and alone
And you're mean
You act like you're thirteen
D G
Boy, you do wonders for my self-esteem
