[Intro]

Am E7 Dm E7 x2

 

[Verse 1: Melanie Martinez]

        Am        E7

Over my shoulder, eyes peeking in

Dm                          E7

Analyze my every move, what current state I'm in

               Am          E7

'Cause you are colder than ice on my skin

Dm                       E7

Wanna get that A+, baby, so you take my shit

            Am             E7

'Cause I am little, right? I won't call you out

Dm                                 E7

Teachers saying you'd get credit, why would you stop now?

           Am         E7

You are so desperate, craving that spotlight

Dm                              E7

Shining on the ones who do that shit 'cause it's their life

 

 

[Pre-Chorus: Melanie Martinez]

      Am       E7     Dm     E7

But I know the people around you say

      Am         E7       Dm              E7

"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"

 

 

[Chorus: Melanie Martinez]

           Am

You're the copy cat

 

You take it then you leave it

       E7              Dm

Honey, just like that, just like that

       E7

You're falling flat

         Am                           E7

You find someone like me to bring you up right back

         Dm

Up right back

Am E7 Dm E7     Am

(Copy cat, copy cat)

 

 

[Verse 2: Melanie Martinez]

              Am         E7

Obsessed with power, you want it for yourself

Dm

Feeding on misogyny

    E7                          Am

But still you call yourself a feminista

   E7

If that were really true

    Dm                                             E7

You wouldn't feel as if I were a current threat to you

 

 

[Pre-Chorus: Melanie Martinez]

      Am       E7     Dm     E7

But I know the people around you say

      Am         E7       Dm              E7

"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"

 

 

[Chorus: Melanie Martinez]

           Am

You're the copy cat

 

You take it then you leave it

       E7              Dm

Honey, just like that, just like that

       E7

You're falling flat

         Am                           E7

You find someone like me to bring you up right back

         Dm

Up right back

Am E7 Dm E7     Am

(Copy cat, copy cat)

 

 

[Verse 3: Melanie Martinez]

             Am                E7

Find someone else to leech on, lady

                                Dm

My blood's for me, not for you, babe

                             E7

College, estate and all your saves

                              Am

My blood's for me, so no more taking

 

 

[Verse 4: Tierra Whack]

Am

Anything you can do, I can do better

E7

In prison for stealing, gon' write you a letter

Dm

Courageous and clever, creative director

 

I raised the bar high, yes sir, I broke the record

Am

I'm hot as peppers, my words are in leather

E7

Scuffed up my boots, boy, I'll stomp you in Sketchers

 

They wanna build like their first name is Hector

 

Back against wall, bitch I am a protector

Am

From the projects, don't check on my ex

E7

Think you're the boss then I'll break broken necks

     Dm

Wish you the best, won't show you my next move

     E7

So I guess you'll be upset

Am

Don't cry, no baby, you'll find your own way

                                 E7

Think for yourself, it'll all be okay

 

Copy my lyrics, you can't steal my spirit

 

Deliver my music, they're dying to hear it

 

 

[Bridge: Tierra Whack]

Am

Imitated, never duplicated

 

You wish you related

                    E7

You wish you'd have made it

 

Imitated, never duplicated

 

You wish you related

                    Am

You wish you'd have made it

 

 

[Chorus: Melanie Martinez]

           Am

You're the copy cat

 

You take it then you leave it

       E7              Dm

Honey, just like that, just like that

       E7

You're falling flat

         Am                           E7

You find someone like me to bring you up right back

         Dm

Up right back

Am E7 Dm E7     Am

(Copy cat, copy cat)
