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
