[Verse 1]
C G
See these magazines with pretty girls rockin'
Am F C
Size four, skinny jeans and on my Television-screens there are
G Am F
endless beauty routines, telling me how to look and how I should be perceived
C G Am
And online you're not safe from thigh gaps and ideal weights
F
I think it's time, time that I took a break
[Verse 2]
C G
See these magazines with pretty girls rockin'
Am F C
Size four, skinny jeans and on my television-screens there are
G Am
endless beauty routines, brainwashing our teens, just to ruin self-esteem
C G Am
And online you're not safe from thigh gaps and ideal weights
F
I think it's time, time that I took a break.
[Interlude]
C G Am F
[Verse 3]
C G
You could dress me up like a paperdoll,
Am F
But it doesn't mean I'll do what I'm told
C G
And just because you know my name
Am
From my fifteen minutes of fame
F C
Doesn't mean I'll never change, it's too hard to stay the same
G Am
And online you're not safe from sly adds and anon hate
F
I think it's time, time that I took a break
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Someday we should venture to the outernet
C G Am F
Someday we should venture to the outernet
[Verse 4]
C G
Too much time on the internet, it's not hard to find what people said
Am F
Why did you change, where's your innocence, where's your blond hair why did you dye it red
C
When you sing you sound like a 10 year old
G
You're that ginger kid from a TV-show
Am
If you don't like what you hear then turn it off
F
It's not like I'm being played on the radio
C G Am
And online you're not safe from fake likes on a Facebook page
F
I think it's time, time that I took a break
[Chorus]
C G Am F
Someday we should venture to the outernet
C G Am F
Someday we should venture to the outernet
[Verse 5]
C
There used to be a day where all I wanted to be
G
Was as pretty as those girls in the magazines
Am
It tore me up and it tore me apart,
F
I didn't see myself as a piece of art
C
We should teach or kids how to love themselves
G
Not compare to what the media sells,
Am
'Cause in this world you can never win,
F
Because loving yourself is so unacceptable
C G Am
And online you're not safe from fake likes on a Facebook page
F
I think it's time, time that I took a break.
[Bridge]
