Aadd9=[002200]
C/G=[320010]
I keep up a similar strumming patter for the other chords.
VERSE:
Cadd9 Aadd9 Cadd9 Aadd9
Me, and my helmet such an un-conventional kid
Cadd9 Aadd9 D G
All intense and kinetic, at best tolerated from afar
Cadd9 Aadd9 Cadd9 Aadd9
Not yet arrested, and by that I mean betrothed
Cadd9 Aadd9
Though a start I am newly courted
D G
I've just not been trusted with alters
CHORUS:
Cadd9 Aadd9 Cadd9 Aadd9
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned yet disturbed
F Aadd9(or better yet Am)
Wrongly label-ed and under-fed,
F G
treated like a rose as an orchid
VERSE:
My friends, as they weigh in, get understandably protective
They have a hard time being objective
So inside we cancel each other out
Chorus:
I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned and unloved
Unlabeled and misunderstood, treated like a rose as an orchid
BRIDGE:
F G Am
You've brought water to me,
G F
making sure my bloom rebounds
G C C/G Am
You know best of what my special care allows
VERSE:
So I've lived in my blind spot
Thought myself usual when I'm not
And your garden is a nice spot
As long as it is brave and where you are
CHORUS:
For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted
I've been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid
Sweet piece of work, overwhelmed un-observed
I've been bowed down to but so misread
Treated like a rose as an orchid
