Capo on 4th G There's certain things you're s'posed to know Am When you're a girl who grows up in the south G I try to use my common sense, Am But my foot always ends up in my mouth C And if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of the whole town Bm I'd fall down C D And my mama cried when she realized
G I ain't pageant material Em I'm always higher than my hair C And it ain't that I don't care about world peace D But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage G I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial Em Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't Am C D G I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't (A) God bless the girls who smile and hug Am When they're called out as a runner up on TV G I wish I could, but I just can't Am Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin' C And who's to say I'm a 9.5, or a 4.0 Bm If you don't even know me C D Life ain't always roses and pantyhose and G I ain't pageant material Em I'm always higher than my hair C And it ain't that I don't care about world peace D But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage G I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial Em Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't Am C D G I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't Em C D G I ain't pageant material Em The only crown is in my glass C They won't be handin' me a sash, and that's okay, cause there's no way D You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage G I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial Em Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't Am C D G I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't Am C D G Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
