[Intro]

A#m
 
[Verse]
B
It’s nice to hear your voice again
  C#         F#                                                A#m
I pushed you so far down and I let you sink through the drain
          B
There’s a claw on my shoulder
 
And she’s saying the obvious
 C#       F#
“You know eventually you’re gonna have to be a provider, too”
      B
She’s coming closer, I can feel her breathe
  C#   F#
I keep forgetting that I’ll have a family
     B
If I listen in, with hands cupped and on my knees
C#    F#
I can hear the single obnoxious sigh of relief
 
[Chorus]
    B              C#            F#              D#m
I’m born to be somebody then somebody comes from me
     B                  F#                               D#m
I’ll tell you about the Rabbit Moon and when to keep walking
     B                     C#                  F#           G#m7  G#m
I’ll spare you pain, I can feel any shame come through that door
         C#m               G#m          F#
I can’t fuck it up if it’s not there at all
 
[Instrumental]
B   F#
B   F#
 
[Chorus]
    B              C#            F#              D#m
I’m born to be somebody then somebody comes from me
     B                C#                F#              D#m
I’ll show you where I did swim team and drive to Dunwoody
     B                     C#                  F#           D#m
I’ll spare you pain, I can feel my shame creep through that floor
             C#                         F#
I can’t fuck it up if it’s not there at all
        G#m                G#  C#       F#
I can’t fuck it up if it’s not there at all

play with capo 1 and transposed down a step, way fewer bar chords

To get the sound she has in the studio recording, I slap the strings just before the saddle of the guitar(acoustic) where the strings attach. I can’t say this is the technique Clairo used but it sounds similar.
