Intro: F C G C
CADY
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?
