[D] You write about breakups, you write about your life, [D#m] and they [N] criticize you for that,
but other artists, male artists, do it all the time, and they never make it.
Happy anniversary, by the way.
Thank you, Polly. That's awesome.
I completely agree with you, and it's interesting how feminism has come up in conversations
so much more in the last year.
It's amazing to see, because I was never really taught the definition of feminism when I was
a little girl, and I wish I had been.
It just wasn't really culturally much of a conversation with the masses, like where I
was living in my small town.
So it's amazing to see people like Emma Watson and people who are providing.
The song Welcome to New York, I actually, I don't think I've told anybody this before,
but the fans were wonderful enough to make it number one on iTunes, and it's selling
really, really well, which is good, because I'm donating all of my proceeds to New York
City Public Schools.
So it's [F#] 7.45 a.m. in the Bridgestone Arena, and I'm about to go sign autographs for 13 hours.
[B]
It was like a dream come true.
We're three hours in.
I've been [G#m] collecting bracelets that fans have given me, [B] and I've also started drawing [F#] a
countdown on my arm to [C#] count how many hours we go, because [G#m] truth is, if we get to 13 and
there are [B] still people here, I'm not going to stop [F#] signing.
He [C#] couldn't do life without her, for sure.
[C#m] [G#] He's had nine operations in the last eight years.
He's [G] had can't live through all of it, and now he's good [C#] for a while.
So why can't [G#m] you see me?
You belong [B] with me.
No, [N] but people can, they can sense honesty.
You can tell in your music, you know, you can hear it.
You're going to have people who are going to see the depth from which you approached
a song, the fact that you put your real emotions into it, and that that's valuable, and that's
good, and that's real.
And then you're going to have people who are going to say, oh, you know, like she's just
write songs about her ex-boyfriends.
And I think, frankly, that's a very sexist angle to take.
No one says that about Ed Sheeran.
No one says it about Bruno Mars.
They're all writing songs about their exes, their current girlfriends, their love life,
and no one raises a red flag there. It's true.
[F] [C]
[G]
[Am]
[F] It's
[D#] [Em]
[N]
[A]
[E] [N]
interesting because I think as a songwriter, [F] you have your fans who have been keeping up
with your music since before you were known.
You know, my first album came out when I was 16, so I would write about my life as I saw
it, as I felt it.
And then what happens is as you get more successful, which you're lucky if that happens, you have
more and more people paying attention to what you're doing.
And you've been doing it the same way your entire career as a songwriter, but all of
a sudden the perspective has changed.
And they [C] use kind of you writing songs about your life as a way to play detective.
[G]
[D] Oh [G#] my [N] God.
[D]
Perfect.
[E] [Am]
[C]
[G]
Yeah!
Thank [Am]
[C]
[G]
[Em] you!
[N]
You were so good at that middle part.
Have you played in concerts?
but other artists, male artists, do it all the time, and they never make it.
