Joyful Girl chords by Ani Difranco

C
I do it for the joy it brings
             G    Am
Because I'm a joyful girl
                 C
Because the world owes me nothing
               G        Am
And we owe each other the world
                     C
I do it because it's the least I can do
               G             Am
I do it because I learned it from you
          C
I do it just because I want to
G              Am
Because I want to

           C
Everything I do is judged
                    G           Am
And they mostly get it wrong, but oh well
                 C
'Cuz the bathroom mirror has not budged
                   G           Am
And the woman who lives there can't tell
                  C
The truth from the stuff that they say
                G     Am
And she looks me in the eye
                            C
And says would you prefer the easy way?
       G            Am
No, well O.K. then, don't cry


[The part in between consists of Dm, C, Em, and G.]

              C
And I wonder if everything I do
 G  Am
I do instead
             C
Of something I want to do more
    G              Am
The question fills my head
                    C
I know that there's no grand plan here
              G     Am
This is just the way it goes
                    C
And when everything else seems unclear
          G    Am
I guess at least I know
