Intro:
Em

Verse 1:
Em
When I grow up, I think that I could be an actress
Em
I'll let the camera find the truth in these little eyes
Em
And I could feel what it was like to be electric
Em
And let the people hear me scream and shout with this little mouth
Pre-Chorus:
CDEm
And if I let all my demons out how you would love it
CDEmD
And I would let the makeup run all down my face
Chorus 1:
C
I'm a philosopher
Em
I try to put it all behind me
C
I'm a philosopher
Em
I gotta try to keep it down
C
I'm a philosopher
AmEm
No, I'll never let it find me
C
I'm a philosopher
AmEm
Gotta control it somehow
Verse 2:
EmC
And when they're finished with me I could be your lover
EmCD
And you could try to find the blush of youth in these cheeks
EmC
Try to forget what it was like to be electric
EmCD
And to wink at all the boys at home with these eyes
Chorus 2:
CD
I'm a philosopher
EmD
With these hands
CD
I'm a philosopher
EmD
With this mouth
C
I'm a philosopher

I will rise
C
I'm a philosopher
DEm
Let me out
Bridge:

I'm getting all excited now
CGD
But you know when this is over
GDC
I'll be looking for a way to let it go
CGDC
I'm getting all excited now
CGD
But it's only for a moment
GDC
No you can't hurt what you can't hold
