  			verse 1 
     F#m 
It’s a tired fascination 
    A 
With everything I’m not and 
F#m                      A 
Wasting nights wondering, trying to figure out 
F#m                   A 
Or maybe if I’m quiet, maybe if I’m light 
F#m                       A                 E 
Or maybe I’ll be something, someone you’ll like 

Chorus 
    A                  F#m 
If I’m smaller and if I’m different 
      E                     D 
Just a little less would you love me 
    A                     F#m 
If I wasn’t this with some bigger lips 
        E 
And some smaller hips 
         D 
Would you love me 

verse 2 
       F#m                     A 
It’s an overdone obsession with chasing what I’m not 
   F#m                         A 
And something I’ve been hiding, space I’m talking up 
   F#m                         A 
And slouching in my shoulders, and curving in my back 
F#m                                A                 E 
Afraid that all the space I’m in is just to much to have 

Chorus 
      A                  F#m 
If I’m smaller and if I’m different 
      E                     D 
Just a little less would you love me 
     A                    F#m 
If I wasn’t this with some bigger lips 
        E 
And some smaller hips 
         D 
Would you love me 

     A D                  A              E 
And I can’t change, what just stays the same 
            A          D          A     E 
So I keep trying, to love me how I’m made 

I know 

verse 3 
F#m 
I’m hating on my mother 
     A 
I’m disrespecting dad 
      F#m                        A 
But, spending nights trying to change the way I am 
     F#m                    A 
And tearing at my structure, pulling at my skin 
      F#m                     A 
Just wishing I was smaller and different 
      F#m                           A 
And I’m spitting on the people who love me just like this 
     F#m                            A 
Who don’t wish I was smaller or less of anything 
     F#m                           A 
And I’m yelling in my silence, so make the voices stop 
     F#m 
And let me sleep in quite 
      A                   E 
Nothing can let I ought to be 

Chorus 
A           F#m 
smaller and different 
      E                      D 
Just a little less so you can love me 
      A                   F#m 
With none of this and some bigger lips 
     E 
And some smaller hips 
          D 
So you can love me 

Outro 
     A  D                 A              E 
And I can’t change, what just stays the same 
             A          D      A       E 
But I keep trying, to love me how I’m made 
    A      E 
How I’m made 
     E      E 
Yeah, I’m made 
    A       E 
How I’m made 
      A                  F#m 
If I’m smaller and if I’m different 
       E                     D 
Just a little less would you love me 
    A                    F#m 
If I wasn’t this with some bigger lips 
        E 
And some smaller hips 
         D 
Would you love me
