Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 slower):
 up to tempo):
I've  never written  a book in my life
'Cause  your tiny brains  would never get it.
Me  compared to Shakespeare's like Shakespeare  compared to Shakespeare's wife.
 I gave you everything,  but
I  gave you simple minds  so you made simple things.
I  gave you healthy birds,  you made chicken wings.
I  gave you nipples,  you made nipple rings.
You're  not going  to heaven.
Why  would you ever think I'd ever  hang out with you?
You're  all dicks,  I don't need you.
I  know a million aliens  cooler than you.
 So, fuck you.
 Here, the first two chords get four beats, but the Gm gets eight.
Oh  my, I said, oh  my, God.
Oh  my, oh  my, God.
 I'm not  gonna fix you.
 I'm not  gonna fix you.
 I said oh  my, oh  my, God.
People  give me money,  but I don't know why.
'Cause  my real collection  plate is an empty  cup held  by a homeless guy.
 I made every  girl different,  and they're all perfect  just the way they are.
 People tell  them different, and people  are smart.
 I just made the stars.
 You think you know beauty  and love.
Trust  me, you don't; I'm the one  who created them.
You're  overpopulated,  so I slaved for days  making gays and you ended  up hating them.
Fuck  youuuu!
 Same chords as the refrain, just in a different rhythm.
 x4
I  created many beings,  but you're the strangest  that I've ever met.
You  think that you're my children,  but you're more  like an annoying pet.
 The Messiah  made the people  wonder heavenly  whether he's me,
 But I'm not into  saving people  who might nail  me to a fucking tree.
 You're all angry,  crying, sad,  and lost.
 You worship  power and wealth.
 The more  that I watch you,  the less I believe  in myself.
 This refrain ends a bit differently for the launch into the key change.
Oh  my, I said, oh  my, God.
Oh  my, oh  my, God.
 I'm not  gonna fix you.
 I'm not  gonna fix you.
 I said oh  my, oh  my, God.
You're  looking for answers  that won't be found,  no.
How  many answers  can a raindrop find before  it hits the ground?
You  think I kill  you people.
You  ask me 'Why?'  when a child dies.
 Why would I kill  someone when a hundred  years passes  when I blink my eyes?
 This is actually my first UG submission, so I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me. Thanks!
