[Verse]
G D
We are all so special
Em B
some don't realize, others realize it
C G
but we won't forget or miss you
D
we sent you out of the hide.
G D
Trapped in the woods
Em B
thinking no one knows of your good
C G
hid behind poorness
D
rip it off, we see you.
[Chorus]
Em B
We will seek you out, we will find you
C G
we will stand completely behind you
C G
you may have been poor, Abe Lincoln
D G
but you're a genius to the White House.
[Verse 2]
G D Em B
Hidden in the dust of never having been
C G
we can pick it up
D
save you from unrecognized sin.
G D Em B
Buried in the dust, buried in old books
C G D
buried in old clothes, buried in dirty looks.
[Chorus]
Em B
We will seek you out, we will find you
C G
we will stand completely behind you
C G
you may have been poor, Abe Lincoln
D G
but you're a genius to the White House.
[Bridge]
B
Never will you reach out
Em B
to find nothing there
B
frowning thought never to be found
A D
of you we are aware.
[Verse 3]
G D
Hidden in a log cabin
Em B
that's how we all are
C G
until someone loves you
D
you're missed be clinked once behind bars.
G D
Something more calls you
Em B
to sense something unsensible
C G
yet so sensible so sensible
D
'neath a special stone unturned, unfencible.
[Chorus]
Em B
We will seek you out, we will find you
C G
we will stand completely behind you
C G
you may have been poor, Abe Lincoln
D G
but you're a genius to the White House.
