F C
I was alone a lot
G
Mostly observing things
C
Like hyenas and migrations
And who cares?
F C
Now I have all these friends
G
I'm never by myself
C
I mean, look at all those people downstairs
F C
More is always better
Am
More people know my name
C
I have more shoes
F C
More is always better
Am
Cause when you have less
G
You have more to lose
Wait, that’s confusing
[AARON]
F C
See, I don't mind alone
G
Sometimes alone is good
C
‘Cause time to think is in short supply
[CADY]
F C
You haven't been alone
G
Try Kenya with one phone
Almost no people
C
Just like animals and sky
C D
Do you know what I had more of?
G
Stars
Em C
So many stars at night
G C
But here there's so much light
G
I see them less now
C D
Plus, I'm always cold
G C
because the air-conditioned air
C
Though in fairness,
D G
that could be how I dress now
C G
Whatever, I look cuter
C D G
It worked, like pretending I needed a tutor
[AARON, spoken]
Pretending?
[CADY, spoken]
Yeah, I pretended to be bad at math to get you to talk to me
[AARON, spoken]
Why didn’t you just talk to me?
[CADY, spoken]
Because of Regina. Because you were her property…
[AARON, spoken]
Her property?
[CADY, spoken]
No, shut up, not her property…
[AARON, spoken]
Don’t tell me to shut up
You are, like, a clone of Regina
[CADY, spoken]
What? No!
(CADY)
F C
I am more and I am better
Am
And no one likes you more
C
Not anyone, not her
F C
More is always better
Am
Don't look at me that way
G
What girl would you prefer?
[AARON]
C D G
I would prefer the girl you were
Em C
Not who you're trying to be
G D
You think this works with me?
G
Well, you thought wrong
C D
Looking at this place
G C
I see you trying to erase
D G
What is best about yourself just to belong
C G
You say more is always better
Em
But there is less of you
G
than there was before
C G
So, if more is always better
Em D G
Then you should have thought it through a bit more
[CADY]
Em D
I should have thought it through a bit…
C D
You know what I had more of?
G
Stars…
