Verse 1:
               D
I went to New York
          A                      Bm                G
'cause a man in a suit told me, "You're gonna be a star"
                  D                      A              Bm    G
I said, "Yeah, I know," but it came out like, "What, who, me "
                     D                A                   Bm
I took a walk on the beach,’cause the guy doesn't like me back
      G                     D
Even though I'm gonna be a star, guess I don't have it,
       A                    Bm  G
guess I don't have it after all
          D                           A
But it's okay, 'cause my life is so exciting
                       Bm                           G
Every night is like a party, 'cause I bit the bullet
                            D
I'm finally watching Friends
                      A
"What took me so long "
                 Bm                       G
I say to no one,'cause I'm alone all the time
                    D                      A
But now I'm never lonely, not since I met Joey
                     Bm                       G
But when I turn the lights off, Joey doesn't hold me
                  D                     A
And in my darkest moment, I wonder if I met him out at a bar
         Bm                             G                              D
If he'd seen me, a perfect star, wanna take me home for that reason only

Chorus:
             Em                   Bm
'Cause why else would you want me?
          G                    D
I think I've got a fucked up face
           Em                  Bm
And that thought used to haunt me
         G                   D
'Til it fell in its sweet embrace
       Em                  Bm
Now I don't sweat the acne
         G                  D
It's a bitch, but it goes away
         En
And who cares if I'm pretty?
   Bm
I feel like I'm Phoebe

Verse 2:
   G                   D
I feel like it totally works
          Bbdim                    Bm                       G
When the blue in my skirt doesn't work with the blue in my top
                       D                A                   Bm   G
And if I tried to be her, it'd fall so flat, you’d feel badly
                   D                      A
And most of these days, I feel the dull ache
                  Bm                F#m  G
But then I say, "Stop," and then I feel great
                    D
'Cause it could be worse, I know, I know
A                    Bm
Know it in the worst way

We rehearsed this, mm
              D
Everything's okay
                        A
'Cause my life is so enticing
                       Bm
In the corner, eating icing
                F#m G                               D
It's a birthday party, these people aren't my friends
                      A
I'm thinking "So long," amidst their deep talk
Bm                           G
'Bout someone they didn't invite
                    D                        A
But I'd rather be lonely, counted out and homely
                  Bm                       G
I know that he'll need me once he gets to know me
                  D
Wonder when I'll meet him
                  A                              Bm                   G
Wonder if he's sitting there at a bar and if he likes 'em avant garde
                    D
Just what they told me

Chorus:
            Em                  Bm
'Cause why else would you want me? (Want me, mm)
        G                  D
I think I got a fucked up face (Oh)
          Em                     Bm
And that thought used to haunt me (Haunt me)
        G                   D
'Til I fell in its sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
       Em                 Bm
Now I don't sweat the acne (No, woah)
        G                   D
It's a bitch, but it goes away (Oh)
     Em
Who cares if I'm pretty?
   Bm
I feel like I'm Phoebe
   G                D
I feel like a whole lot

Bridge:
         Em                  Bm
No, I'm good, thanks for asking
           G                           D
That'd be awesome, but no worries if not
          Em             Bm
Best believe I can hack it
          G                   D
Check it out, I made it this far
       Em              Bm
Had to dig deep inside me
         G                       D
'TiI I found what I was looking for
        Em                    Bm
It was right there inside me (Ah)
           G                     D
It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful (Beautiful)

Chorus:
    Em                   Bm
Why else would you want me? (Want me, want me)
        G                  D
I think I got a fucked up face (Gorgeous, amazing)
          Em                   Bm
And that thought used to haunt me (Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful)
        G                     D
'Til I fell in it's sweet embrace (Uh-huh)
       Em               Bm
