3Spots on my face too much acne to embrace
    D8        A9    G10
4the person behind them
D11          A12         G13
5zits on my back with heads bright white, scarlet and black
    D14               A15                G16
6in much too much an awkward place to pop them
D17             A18     G19
7pimples on my chest probably there because I'm stressed
D20                A21               G22
8about the people talking behind my back
          D23           A24        G25
9about the spots on my face the ones i wish i could erase
     D26                  A27                    G28
10just like the so called friends that like to tease me about them

    D33               E34                G35                 A36
14the spots on my face can confirm that they don't really work
D37        E38        G39           A40
15proactiv solution deserves an execution
    D41        E42            G43               A44 - hold -
16for being an ablution that does nothing but smirk at me

24countless times I've tried and tried but my skin just ends up all dry
25
26and I'm left wanting to say inside
27
28but then one day I said charlie it's not as bad as it could be
29
30they're only spots it's not like you've died
31
32be a man, be who you are but try not to pop them in case they scar
33
34even though squeezing them is fun
35
36understand at the end of the day to put your hands down and say okay
37
38get out of the bathroom,
39
40and lie out in the sun - because I heard that helps -
41
42Chorus:
D50             E51        G52             A53

49Bridge:
      A67 - hold -
50but I won't let that define me
             G68 - hold -              A69 - build -
51because the people that mind don't matter
        G70                      A71
52and the people that matter don't mind
     G72                     A73
53so when all that puss goes splatter
G74                           A75
54wipe it off your mirror, and wipe it from your mind
D76                 A77           G78
55you could try and dairy free diet
        D79           A80       G81
56and drink 8 cups of water a day
    D82              A83          G84
57but in the end your acne will still run riot
          D85             A86                G87
58'cause the hormones that cause them, just won't go away
