Melanie Martinez - Fire Drill Chords

[intro]
Bm  Em  D  F#m

[verse 1]
     Bm             Em      D
I've never fit into any category,
       F#m
always deemed an outcast
      Bm          Em
Since I was in Sunday School
        D                  F#m
and all the cool kids said I was weird
      Bm
It's exactly the same, they say:
            Em
"Why do you dress that way?
                    D
Why do you act that way?
                         F#m
Why aren't you just like me?"
           Bm
So is that what you really wanna say to me?
            Em
You playin' games with me
                               D
Tellin' me if I'm unkind, still you abandon me
                     F#7
Calling me words I'm not,

paintin' a picture that's false
Bm
You must not know my heart,
      Em
but I know it isn't your fault
    D
You live in a world in your clutch,
    F#m
you don't get out very much
Bm
Livin' in the fake world,
        Em                    D
full of facades and chaotic behavior
                       F#7
You pull the lever for fun,

yell, "fire," then you just run

[chorus]
     Bm
Fire drill, what would happen
     Em
if a nuke just hit?
              D
Would you say bye to your family?
          F#m
Would you post about it?
     Bm
Fire drill,
                     Em
if it all went up in flames one day
          D
Would you give your mom a hug
            F#m
before your house burned away?
   Bm                Em
It kills, I wish the best for you
D            F#7                Bm
 And you think I ignore you too, but
                  Em
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
D
 And be present more,
    F#
and so should you, it's alright to

[verse 2]
Bm      Em
Cryin' inside
       D                       F#m
'Cause nothin' I say ever comes out right
Bm           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
        D
But I'm speaking now
   F#m
so hear me out (Shut up)
  Bm            Em
I personally believe
          D            F#m
that everyone is fully capable
   Bm
Of more than what they're doing,
           Em
all of the bullying
                                D
All of the screwing around with people
                       F#m
they don't even really know, oh
Bm
Eatin' a hate soufflé,
       Em
and an angry bitter sorbet
     D
All 'cause you were bored one day

Losing your wits and your grace

[chorus]
     Bm
Fire drill,
                  Em
what would happen if a nuke just hit?
              D
Would you say bye to your family?
          F#m
Would you post about it?
     Bm
Fire drill,
                     Em
if it all went up in flames one day
          D
Would you give your mom a hug
            F#7
before your house burned away?
   Bm                Em
It kills, I wish the best for you
   D             F#m               Bm
And you think I ignore you too, but
                  Em             D
Really, I'm tryna live my own life

And be present more,
    F#
and so should you, it's alright to

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