VERSE: Cadd9 Aadd9 Cadd9 Aadd9 Me and my helmet such an un-conventional kid Cadd9 Aadd9 D G All intense and kinetic at best tolerated from afar Cadd9 Aadd9 Cadd9 Aadd9 Not yet arrested and by that I mean betrothed Cadd9 Aadd9 Though a start I am newly courted I’ve just not been trusted with alters CHORUS: Cadd9 Aadd9 Cadd9 Aadd9 I’m a sweet piece of work well intentioned yet disturbed F Aadd9(or better yet Am) Wrongly label-ed and under-fed treated like a rose as an orchid VERSE: My friends as they weigh in get understandably protective They have a hard time being objective So inside we cancel each other out Chorus: I’m a sweet piece of work well intentioned and unloved Unlabeled and misunderstood treated like a rose as an orchid BRIDGE: You’ve brought water to me making sure my bloom rebounds You know best of what my special care allows VERSE: So I’ve lived in my blind spot Thought myself usual when I’m not And your garden is a nice spot As long as it is brave and where you are CHORUS: For this sweet piece of work high maintenance and deserted I’ve been different and deserving treated like a rose as an orchid Sweet piece of work overwhelmed un-observed I’ve been bowed down to but so misread Treated like a rose as an orchid
