This is Bo Burnham's "song from the perspective of God." Genius comic. Really
brilliant stuff. Don't let the way I've distributed the chords to the lyrics
confuse you. It's a simple song in 4/4 with no weird tempo or time signature
changes. Only a key change after the last refrain. Excluding the refrain, each
chord gets one bar (four beats) and there's a lot of repetition. It's not hard to
figure out. Also note that there are a couple versions of this song so far. This
transcription is based on what I'm pretty sure is the latest and probably complete version.

E A C#m B
Verse 1 (up to tempo):
E A C#m B
I've never written a book in my life
E A
'Cause your tiny brains would never get it.
C#m B A
Me compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare compared to Shakespeare's wife.
B
I gave you everything, but
E C#m
I gave you simple minds so you made simple things.
A B
I gave you healthy birds, you made chicken wings.
E C#m
I gave you nipples, you made nipple rings.
E A
You're not going to heaven.
C#m B
Why would you ever think I'd ever hang out with you?
E A
You're all dicks, I don't need you.
C#m B A B
I know a million aliens cooler than you.
So, fuck you.
Refrain:
Here, the first two chords get four beats, but the G#m gets eight.
E C#m G#m
Oh my, I said, oh my, God.
E C#m G#m
Oh my, oh my, God.
E C#m
I'm not gonna fix you.
G#m
I'm not gonna fix you.
E C#m G#m
I said oh my, oh my, God.
Verse 2:
E A C#m B
People give me money, but I don't know why.
E A C#m B A
'Cause my real collection plate is an empty cup held by a homeless guy.
B E C#m A
I made every girl different, and they're all perfect just the way they are.
B E C#m
People tell them different, and people are smart.
E
I just made the stars.
A
You think you know beauty and love.
C#m B
Trust me, you don't; I'm the one who created them.
E A C#m B
You're overpopulated, so I slaved for days making gays and you ended up hating them.
A B
Fuck youuuu!
[Repeat refrain]
Bridge:
Same chords as the refrain, just in a different rhythm.
E C#m G#m x4
E C#m Eb G#m
I created many beings, but you're the strangest that I've ever met.
E C#m Eb G#m
You think that you're my children, but you're more like an annoying pet.
E C#m Eb G#m
The Messiah made the people wonder heavenly whether he's me,
E C#m Eb G#m
But I'm not into saving people who might nail me to a fucking tree.
E C#m
You're all angry, crying, sad, and lost.
Eb G#m
You worship power and wealth.
E C#m Eb
The more that I watch you, the less I believe in myself.
Refrain:
This refrain ends a bit differently for the launch into the key change.

Oh my, oh my, God.
E C#m
I'm not gonna fix you.
G#m
I'm not gonna fix you.

I said oh my, oh my, God.
Verse 3:
F# B Ebm C#
You're looking for answers that won't be found, no.
F# B Ebm C#
How many answers can a raindrop find before it hits the ground?
F# B
You think I kill you people.
Ebm C# F#
You ask me 'Why?' when a child dies.
B Ebm C# F#
Why would I kill someone when a hundred years passes when I blink my eyes?
B Ebm C# F#
This is actually my first UG submission, so I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me. Thanks!
