Special Chords

Played by ear so it might not be 100% accurate, but works for the most part. I typed up the exact way I played the chords because some chord names give different variations (like the D5 and Em7b5 shown here do not sound like the D5 and Em7b5 I'm playing). I figured out certain chords by ear but I can't figure out their names so if anyone recognizes them from the tabs, please comment a correction. Thankss.Was this info helpful?

[Verse 1]
C
I wish I was that girl from that Gucci store
C Cmaj7
She never wore any makeup and she owns couture
F
I got pimples where my beauty marks should be
F
I got dry skin on my elbows and knees
C
I never liked her, wanted to be like her
C Cmaj7
Hate how you look at her 'cause you never saw me
F
Like I was an art piece, like I was an ordinary girl
[Chorus]
Fmaj7#11/C Dm7
I wish I was special
Dm7
I gave all my special
C
Away to a loser
C
Now I'm just a loser
Cmaj7 Dm7
I used to be special
Dm7
But you made me hate me
C
Regret that I changed me
C
I hate that you made me
Cmaj7 F
Just like you
N.c.
Just like you

I wanted to be thick, now I wanna be thin
C Cmaj7
Heard Pilates is in, bust your windows out
F
You gon' hear my mouth, you could kick me out
F Fmaj7#11/C
You say I'm too wild, you gon' hate me now
C
Boy, you got me fucked up, now I'm gettin' fucked up
C Cmaj7
Thinkin' 'bout us fucking, why you'd have to fuck her?
F
I don't wanna see you, why'd you have to treat me
F
Like I was an ordinary girl?
[Chorus]

thank you for posting this tab! the chord you labeled as D7 would actually be a cmaj7 and i’m not sure about the Em7b5 but it looks like another variation of c. :)
