verse 1 
Cm                      Bb            Gm   Cm 
In the morning from the minute that I wake up 
                        Bb              Gm   Cm 
What if I don't want to put on all that make up? 
                    Bb            Gm  Cm 
Who says I must conceal what I'm made of? 
                              Bb         Gm    
Maybe all this Maybelline is covering my self-esteem 
Cm                  Bb                Gm Cm 
Whose job is it to straighten out my curves? 
                       Bb              Gm Cm 
I'm so tired of that image, that's my word 
                      Bb                 Gm   Cm 
What if today I don't feel like putting heels on? 
                               Bb           Gm    Cm 
Who are you to criticize when beauty's only in the eyes... 
       Bb Gm    Cm    Bb   Gm 
Of the beholder, so behold her 
Cm                Bb    Gm  Cm  Bb Gm 
Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, why, oh? 
     
 
      C                Bb

Uh, uh, I'm so secure with insecurities 
                 Bb            Gm     Cm 
Why is being unique such an impurity? 
                             Bb         Gm 
Why are the numbers on the scale like a God to me? 
Cm                             Bb             Gm     Cm 
All of these indifferences are based on our appearances 
     Bb           Gm 
We please to be appeased 
Cm                         Bb                Gm 
The truest pleasure is the fact that we can breathe 
Cm                        Bb         Gm 
Think it into existence, do it, then achieve 
Cm                     Bb               Gm 
A fairy tale reality, beauty was with a beast 
Cm               Bb              Gm 
Uh, uh, I'm the image of your reflection

Eh, eh, you're the image of my reflection

Sing, sing, sing, why, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh why, oh?

             Am                 G 
I just wanna cry, I just wanna cry for the world (Repeat)
