Chords with lyrics
B
There's certain things you're s'posed to know
C#m
When you're a girl who grows up in the south
B
I try to use my common sense,
C#m
But my foot always ends up in my mouth
E
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of the whole town
D#m
I'd fall down
E F#
And my mama cried when she realized
B
I ain't pageant material
G#m
I'm always higher than my hair
E
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
F#
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
B
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
G#m
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
C#m E F# B
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
(G)
God bless the girls who smile and hug
C#m
When they're called out as a runner up on TV
B
I wish I could, but I just can't
C#m
Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'
E
And who's to say I'm a 9.5, or a 4.0
D#m
If you don't even know me
E F#
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose and
B
I ain't pageant material
G#m
I'm always higher than my hair
E
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
F#
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
B
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
G#m
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
C#m E F# B
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
G#m E F#
B
I ain't pageant material
G#m
The only crown is in my glass
E
They won't be handin' me a sash, and that's okay, cause there's no way
F#
You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage
B
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
G#m
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
C#m E F# B
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
C#m E F# B
Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
