Text File
Song: Terrific
Artist: Drake Bell
Album: 2011 TBA album
Tuning: Standard (EADGBe)
This was the oddest song I've had to figure out as there are so many chords and
quite a lot of variety to those chords too!
If some parts are inaccurate then please tell me in a comment but it should sound
more or less right as I listened to different versions and managed to see some of
the chords Drake was playing in videos of him at concerts.
Where you'll see a phrase or a word in between two of these *s is where I couldn't
figure out the lyrics properly but once the album is out I'll be able to change
the lyrics and chords if anything is different.

Reason can't compete with the drug that shares your name

Don't get arrested, they can't posses you

You are not yourself dear, you are someone else dear

Who spoke out when no-one heard, oh yeah

You're not as pure as you were, vanity hangs you by threads

And right now I wish some things were undone

*Fixes* natural *eyes in the spun*

This is not the time to give up yourself to anyone

If you saw yourself, dear, you would be amazed, dear
