Pageant Material chords by Kacey Musgraves

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
