[Intro]
C Am F D G C

[Verse 1]
C                             Am              F
Countless suicide attempts
D                           G              C
All his mo-oney was spent
Am                           F
Chewing gum and cigarettes
D                        G                           C
To keep his knees from shaking
Am                                        F
He never thought before he spoke
D                           G              C
Took back everything he meant
Am                                        F
And from an early age he learned
D              G              C
To inhale and forget

[Bridge]
Am                                        F
And who are you? And who are we?
D              G              C
Photographs and diaries
Am                                        F
Spend your life working hard
D                G              C
Spend your life studying
Am                           F
And then you die. And then you die
D              G                           C
And then we read all your books
Am                           F
And then you die. And then you die
D                           G                           C
And then we criticize your work

E
You figured it out
F Am G E
You figured it out so good

I know you want it
F Am G E

Give the kids all their candy ow ow ow
Am F D G C
Whatever makes them happy
Am F D G C
Give me seeds and I’ll plant trees
Am F
Learn from your mistakes
D G C
My parents never learned from me

[Bridge]
Am F
And BLASphemy on the WALL
D G C
Of the bathroom you wrote:
Am F
God is gay and no one cares,
D G C
Even if you left a note
Am F
Your suicide will go unheard
D G C
Maybe ‘cos you never spoke
Am F
You were a wallflower
D G C
You were my only hope
Am F
Your songs never left your room
D G C
You never showed your poetry
Am F
Don’t you die, don’t you die
D G C
Don’t you dare to die on me

[Interlude]
Am F D G E

[Chorus]
E
– You figured it out you
F D G E
You figured me out so good
E
I know you want it,
F D G E
They said you would
E
We’re getting too close,
F D G E
And it’s all too much
E F F#
Afraid of the human touch (F# mute strumm)

Wallflower by scruffpuppie & lil dump is in the key of C major (no sharps or flats). The song uses 7 chords: C, Am, F, D, G, E and F#.

The progression the song keeps returning to is C – Am – F – D (I – vi – IV – II in C major). In solfa, that is doh – lah – fah – reh. Learn these 4 changes first and most of the song falls into place.

Good to know: F and F# are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
