Verse 1:
                Cadd9             G
Hey homecoming queen, why do you lie?
                Em7                 Dadd4
When somebody’s mean, where do you hide?
            Cadd9                 G
Do people assume, you’re always alright?
                 Em7                  Dadd4
Been so good at smiling, most of your life

Pre-Chorus 1:
      Cadd9                 G
Look damn good in the dress,  zippin’ up the mess
Em7                    Dadd4
    Dancin’ with your best foot forward
Cadd9                  G
      Does it get hard,  to have to play the part?
Em7                   Dadd4
    Nobody’s feeling sorry for ya


Chorus 1:
Cadd9                G                           Em7
      But what if I told you the world wouldn’t end
                Dadd4                     Cadd9
If you started showing what’s under your skin
             G                     Em7
What if you let ’em all in on the lie?
          Dadd4
Even the homecoming queen cries

    Cadd9          G              Em7            Dadd4

Hey homecoming queen, how’s things at home?
                  Em7                           Dadd4
Still walking on eggshells, when that curtains closed
               Cadd9                  G
Did your daddy teach you, how to act tough?
                   Em7                       Dadd4
Or more like your momma, sweep it under the rug


Pre-Chorus 2:
      Cadd9                 G
Look damn good in the dress,  zippin’ up the mess
Em7                    Dadd4
    Dancin’ with your best foot forward
Cadd9                        G
      Did you want the crown.  or does it weigh you down?
Em7                   Dadd4
    Nobody’s feeling sorry for ya


Chorus 2:
Cadd9            G                           Em7
      What if I told you the world wouldn’t end
                Dadd4                     Cadd9
If you started showing what’s under your skin
             G                     Em7
What if you let ’em all in on the lie?
          Dadd4
Even the homecoming queen cries

Cadd9                  G                         Em7
      Yeah, what if I told you the sky wouldn’t fall?
                    Dadd4
If you lost your composure, said to hell with it all
Cadd9                 G                    Em7
      Not everything pretty sparkles and shines
              Dadd4
And even the homecoming queen cries
