Melanie Martinez - Copy Cat

[ intro ]
Am E7 Dm E7 x2

[ verse 1 : melanie martinez ]
Am E7
over my shoulder , eyes peeking in
Dm E7
analyze my every move , what current state i’m in
Am E7
’cause you are colder than iceon my skin
Dm E7
wanna get that A+ , baby , so you take my shit
Am E7
’cause i Am little , right? i won’t call you out
Dm E7
teachers saying you’d get credit , why would you stop now?
Am E7
you are so desperate , craving that spotlight
Dm E7
shining on the ones who do that shit ’cause it’s their life

[ pre – chorus : melanie martinez ]
Am E7 Dm E7
but i know the people around you say
Am E7 Dm E7
“just do what it takes to make it all the way”

[ chorus : melanie martinez ]
Am
you’re the copy cat

you take it then you leave it
E7 Dm
honey , just like that , just like that
E7
you’re falling flat
Am E7
you find someone like me to bring you up right back
Dm
up right back
Am E7 Dm E7 Am
( copy cat , copy cat )

[ verse 2 : melanie martinez ]
Am E7
obsessed with power , you want it for yourself
Dm
feeding on misogyny
E7 Am
but still you call yourself a feminista
E7
if that were really true
Dm E7
you wouldn’t feel as if i were a current threat to you

[ pre – chorus : melanie martinez ]
Am E7 Dm E7
but i know the people around you say

“just do what it takes to make it all the way”

[ chorus : melanie martinez ]
Am
you’re the copy cat

you take it then you leave it
E7 Dm
honey , just like that , just like that
E7
you’re falling flat
Am E7
you find someone like me to bring you up right back

up right back
Am E7 Dm E7 Am
( copy cat , copy cat )

[ verse 3 : melanie martinez ]
Am E7
find someone else to leech on , lady
Dm
my blood’s for me , not for you , babe
E7
college , estate and all your saves
Am
my blood’s for me , so no more taking

[ verse 4 : tierra whack ]
Am
anything you can do , i can do better
E7
in prison for stealing , gon’ write you a letter
Dm
courageous and clever , creative director

i raised the bar high , yes sir , i broke the record
Am
i’m hot as peppers , my words are in leather
E7
scuffed up my boots , boy , i’ll stomp you in sketchers

they wanna build like their first name is hector

back against wall , bitch i Am a protector
Am
from the projects , don’t check on my ex
E7
think you’re the boss then i’ll break broken necks
Dm
wish you the best , won’t show you my next move
E7
so i guess you’ll be upset
Am
don’t cry , no baby , you’ll find your own way
E7
think for yourself , it’ll all be okay

copy my lyrics , you can’t steal my spirit

deliver my music , they’re dying to hear it

[ bridge : tierra whack ]
Am
imitated , never duplicated

you wish you related
E7
you wish you’d have made it

imitated , never duplicated

you wish you related
Am
you wish you’d have made it

[ chorus : melanie martinez ]
Am
you’re the copy cat

you take it then you leave it
E7 Dm
honey , just like that , just like that
E7
you’re falling flat
Am E7
you find someone like me to bring you up right back
Dm
up right back

( copy cat , copy cat )
