Em                   Am
You pull me by my hair so I don't go nowhere
B                              Em
Tell me you love me, but you treat me like I'm never there
Em                       Am
You say the cruelest words, you used to break my heart
B
'Cause I'm over here working my ass off

 Em                   Am
Why is it so hard to see? (Why?)
   B                      Em
If I cut myself, I would bleed (Kill me)
Em                         Am
I'm just like you, you're like me
   B                     Em
Imperfect and human, are we?

Chorus:
 Em       Am
Show and tell
B7                          Em
I'm on display for all you fuckers to see
Em       Am
Show and tell
B7                        Em
Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me
Em      Am
Buy and sell (Buy and sell me, baby)
B7                       Em
Like I'm a product to society
Em        Am
Art don't sell
B7                         Em
Unless you fucked every authority

You beg and cry for more, and yet I'm on the floor
There are strangers takin' pictures of me when I ask "No more"
It's really hard for me to say just how I feel
I'm scared that I'll get thrown away like a banana peel

Why is it so hard to see? (Why?)
If I cut myself, I would bleed (Ouch)
I'm just like you, you're like me
Imperfect and human are we

Chorus:
Show and tell (Show and tell)
I'm on display for all you fuckers to see
(Fuckers to see)
Show, you tell (Show and tell)
Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me
Buy and sell (Buy and sell)
Like I'm a product to society
Art don't sell
Unless you've fucked every authority

Em       Am   B7
Show and tell
Em
Why can't you fucking hear me?
Em       Am    B7
Show and tell, um
Em
Are you listening yet?

Chorus:
Show and tell (Show and tell, baby)
I'm on display for all you fuckers to see
(Fuckers to see)
Show, you tell (Oh)
Harsh words if you don't get a pic with me
Buy and sell
Like I'm a product to society
Art don't sell
Unless you've fucked every authority
