Capo 2nd fret

Verse 1:
E MajorE
 I'm sorry, but I'm just a girl
  AbmAbm
Not usually the kind to show my heart to the world
  A augmentedA
I'm pretty good at keeping it together
 BB
I hold my composure, for worse or for better

  E MajorE
So I apologize if you don't like what you see
  AbmAbm
But sometimes my emotions get the best of me
  A augmentedA
And falling apart is as human as it gets
     BB
You can't hide it, you can't fight what the truth is


Chorus 1:
    E MajorE
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
    AbmAbm
You can pretty smile and just walk away
    A augmentedA
Pretty much fake your way through anything
    BB       E MajorE
But you can't cry pretty


Verse 2:
        E MajorE
Oh no, you can’t dress it up in lace or rhinestones
   AbmAbm
Don't matter if you're in a crowd or home all alone
      A augmentedA
Yeah, it's all the same when you're looking in the mirror
 BB
A augmentedA picture of pain, so let it flow like a river

Chorus 2:
    E MajorE
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
    AbmAbm
You can pretty smile and just walk away
    A augmentedA
Pretty much fake your way through anything
    BB
But you can't cry pretty

     E MajorE
You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks
   AbmAbm
When all your mascara is going to waste
   A augmentedA
When things get ugly, you just gotta face
     C majorC        BB      E MajorE
That you can't cra-ah-ah-ah-ah-ay pretty


Interlude:
     AbmAbm
Oh no you can't
              A augmentedA     C majorC BB
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah


Chorus 3:
     E MajorE
You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks
   AbmAbm
When all your mascara is going to waste
   A augmentedA
When things get ugly, you just gotta face
     C majorC        BB      E MajorE
That you can't cra-ah-ah-ah-ah-ay pretty-yea-eh-eh-eh-ay


Outro:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yea-eah
         A augmentedA
No you can't cry, no you can't cry
C majorC      BB  E MajorE  AbmAbm

     A augmentedA
Woo-oo-oo-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
    C majorC    BB   E MajorE
