Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Key: C

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
          Am           G       F
I don't expect you to understand
            Am          G       F
You can't imagine how I'm feeling
            Am       G    F
I can't admit it to myself
               Am        G       F
So where would I even begin?

Hook:
            Am G  F
Cause I'm a proud woman
          Am  G  F
I must be proud, woman
         Am  G  F
And I am strong woman
          Am  G   F
I must be strong, woman


Verse 2:
         Am              G        F
It's too painful to even think about
            Am         G          F
So it would kill me to say it out loud
         Am              G            F
All this time I thought I'd worked it out
          Am               G            F
So if you don't mind, I'll leave it for now


Hook 2:
           Am G  F
And stay a proud woman
          Am G   F
I must be proud, woman
           Am  G     F
Cause I am strong, a woman
             Am G F
I can't be a mad woman


Verse 3:
       Am               G            F
I have analyzed every single inch of my skin
        Am                      G                    F
And comparisons I can't seem to break in my daily routine
        Am                     G                       F
I find myself obsessing imperfections that only I can see
       Am                                 G
And I know it's such a waste, but the pressure is getting to me
F              C      G
I don't expect you to understand


Chorus:
Am    G        F
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
Am    G        F
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
Am    G        F
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
Am    G        F                           Am
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
   Em    G     Em
Girl, girl, girl, why?


Verse 4:
Am                                    G                      F
Should my intellect be judged by perceptions of what I should be?
    Am                                 G                  F
And who says that it's right? We must stop looking skin deep
         Am                       G                        F
It's so young that it starts, expectations are too far to reach

We lose control
        Am                         G                            F
And you say that it's fine, maybe that's because you don't want to see
F              C      G
I don't expect you to understand


Chorus:
Am    G        F
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
Am    G        F
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
Am    G        F
You'd never know what it's like to be a woman
Am    G        F                            Am
You'd never know what it's like to be a girl
   Em    G     Em    Am
Girl, girl, girl, girl
   Em    G     Em     Am
Girl, girl, girl , girl
