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.

Verse 1:
Strange how things can change, how your consciousness can fade
Reason can compete with the drug that shares your name
Pre-chorus 1:
And there you are on cue where the light falls
Waving at strangers, wearing your name out
It does your head in, confiscates meaning
But don't get arrested, they can't possess you
Pre-chorus 2:
G*
You are not yourself here, you are someone else dear
Chorus:
Aren't you terrific?
Aren't you terrific now?
Verse 2:
All the world applauds, to the popular tricks you choose
But who are they to stop, when your hands are clapping too
Pre-chorus 1:
And you believe that, it's an achievement
Scratching them where they have no feeling
Pre-chorus 2:
G*
You are not yourself here, you are someone else dear
Chorus:
Aren't you terrific?
Aren't you terrific now?
Bridge:
G* Cm
It was you
Who spoke out when no-one heard, oh yeah
You're not as pure as you were, vanity hangs you by threads
C*
And right now I wish some things were undone
C*
It's as natural as it was fun
C* C*
This is not the time to give up yourself to anyone
Pre-chorus 2:
G* G*
You are not yourself here, you are someone else, dear
Chorus:
Aren't you terrific?
Am G*
Aren't you terrific?
Pre-chorus 2:
G* G*
If you saw yourself here, you would be amazed, dear
Chorus:
Are you terrific?
Finally terrific now
