 C             | C             :



♫ Verse 1:
C                            C
Scrolling on my phone again, double-tapping Instagram
G                         G
I don't really like how I feel.
C                             C
Watching someone else's life, then I Go comparing mine
Gm                    Gm
to a glossy highlight reel.

♫ Pre-Chorus:
         G                             C
And it's always sunny weather, they're so well put-together
C                      G
seems like everybody's living the dream.
        G                                 C
And I'm still in last night's makeup, the kids are waking me up
C                    C
I've got cheerios stuck to my feet.

♫ Chorus:
   Gm                    G
So what? I'm not picture-perfect
C                       C
it's messy but it's working just the way it is.
   Gm                        G
So what? It's the scars that make us
C                      C
there's beauty in the chaos of how we really live.

          Gm                        Gm
I may not influence another, be the world's greatest mother
C          C
or a model wife.
            Gm*                      G*              C*        C        C
But I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life.

♫ Verse 2:
     C                          C
Like Alice down the rabbit hole chasing what's uncatchable
G                       G
temptations each way that I turn.
  C                           C
I used to feel ten feet tall, now I'm shrinking, oh, so, small.
C                        C
When the hell  gonna learn?

♫ Chorus:
   Gm                    G
So what? I'm not picture-perfect
C                       C
it's messy but it's working just the way it is.
   Gm                        G
So what? It's the scars that make us
C                      C
there's beauty in the chaos of how we really live.

          G                         Gm
I may not influence another, be the world's greatest mother
C          C
or a model wife.
            Gm*                      G*              C*        C        C
But I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life.

♫ Bridge:
          G*                           C*
There's a million ways to frame it but I would never change it
Gm                      G
even if I haven't figured it out.
         G                          C
My inner critic starts to creep up
I'm just tryin' to keep up
C                 C
all I wanna Do is shout.

End-♫ Chorus:
   Gm                    G
So what? I'm not picture-perfect

it's messy but it's working just the way it is.
   Gm                        G
So what? It's the scars that make us
C                      C
there's beauty in the chaos of how we really live.

          G                         Gm
I may not influence another, be the world's greatest mother
C          C
or a model wife.

I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life.
