ARETHA by Rumer

_ALL

I got Aretha in the morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

'cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

Momma she'd notice but she's always crying

_A

‍I got no one to confide in,

_ALL

Aretha nobody but you

And Momma she'd notice but she's always fighting

_A

Something in her mind

_ALL

and it sounds like breaking glass

I tell Aretha in the morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

'cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes

_S

You got the words

_A&T

(you got the words yeh)

_S

baby you got the words  

_A&T

(you got the words yeh)

_{(CONTINUES IN NEXT COLUMN ABOVE)}

_S

You got the words,

_A&T

(you got the words yeh)

_S

baby you got the words

_A&T

(you got the words)

_S&A

Oh Aretha (^T Oooh...)

Aretha, I don't want to go to school

'Cause they just don't understand me and (^T Oooh...)

_ALL

I think the place is cruel

_A

‍Try, sing out, raise your voice (^S&T Try....)

Stand up on your own, (^S&T Aah....)

go out there and strike out

_ALL

I tell Aretha in the morning

High on my headphones and walking to school

I got the blues in springtime

'cause I know that I'll never have the right shoes.

But I got the words.
