Intro: A 

A 
I fought it all for a while 
                    D 
It went out of style again 
  E 
I don't read the magazines 
                       A           E 
and I cant keep up with the trends 

A 
The red on my nails keeps chipping off 
    D 
The pink on my lips just adds to the flaws 
        E 
I ain't good at fake lashes 
                               A 
Every time I wear high heels I fall 

      D 
Being pretty ain't pretty it takes all day long 
A 
Spend all your money just to wipe it all off 
D 
Spray on your perfume spray on your tan 
    E 
Get up in the morning do it over again 
      D            E         A 
Being pretty ain't pretty at all 

A 
Mama was simple 
                    D 
Sweet as the day is long 
E 
Daddy always said she looked better 
                A  E 
With no make up on 
A 
She wouldn't be caught dead 

bleaching her reds 
        D 
But I'd spend the house  

Claiming on new cowboy boots 
        E 
How the hell did the apple 
                          A 
Fall so damn far from the tree 

      D 
Being pretty ain't pretty it takes all day long 
A 
Spend all your money just to wipe it all off 
D 
Spray on your perfume spray on your tan 
    E 
Get up in the morning do it over again 
      D            E         A 
Being pretty ain't pretty at all 

A D E A 

      D 
Being pretty ain't pretty it takes all day long 
A 
Spend all your money just to wipe it all off 
D 
Spray on your perfume spray on your tan 
    E 
Get up in the morning do it over again 
      D            E         A 
Being pretty ain't pretty at all 

      D            E 
Being pretty ain't pretty...
