Numbers Ukulele chords by Melanie Martinez

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Verse 1:
C
Count up your portion, count up your checks
     Em
Either you're fam or you’re comin' at my neck
C
When you gonna freeze with the cool dramatics?
   Em
I'm not inspired by your foolish practice
C
Why do you bullshit? Side up your fence
   Em
I’m just a chicken givin' you the egg
C

Soon, you're gonna see that your platform's wasted
    Em
Don't speak too soon on your doubts you're making
C
A big deal out of a little thing
Em
Why should I try to conform to formulated pasts
C
When clearly all my instincts led to something more magical?


Chorus:
C               Em
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
   C
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Em
Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke
     C                      Em
Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before
       C
And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack
    Em
The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path
   C
To this, I hope my future is a mile, clairvoyant
Em
There’s no controlling the imagination on a send


Verse 2:
C         Em
Take me to Venus, let me explode
   C          Em
I'm ready to pop like a volcano
   C
Jump over me like you're playing hot lava
Em
Emotions on one hundred thousand, who's gonna
C
Drink me like soda? People, of course
Em
Use all your words to distract from the source
C
Aware of the growth, the paper happens
Em
Leave me alone in my own concoction
C
Breakin’ all my fingertips to carve out many roads
Em
Pushin' out the petals from the thought of what I know


Chorus:
C               Em
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
   C
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Em
Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke
     C                      Em
Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before
       C
And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack
    Em
The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path
   C
To this, I hope my future is a mile, clairvoyant
Em
There’s no controlling the imagination on a send


Bridge:
    C            Em
They replaced their search for knowledge
      C    Em
With the reach of many material gains
    C     Em       C
They lack the tenderness of the sensitive
Em          C
Empathetic but he's cryin' from the pain
   C      Em
It's too late to grow their frame
   C              Em
In their mind, seems like it's already made
  C                Em
No use in arguin' with someone who doesn't
Em
Wanna cry or retice worthy of creation
Em      C
Am I just a number?
Em      C
Am I just a number?
Em      C
Am I just a number?
Em      C
Am I just a number?


Chorus:
C               Em
Am I just a number 'cause it seems like that's your goal?
   C
You push us past our limits just to watch decimals grow
Em
Oh, I need a reason why I’m looked at like a joke
     C                      Em
Until I prove you wrong like I’ve done time and time before
       C
And I don't like your teachings and your criticisms lack
    Em
The potential to pageantry, my solid golden path
   C
