G
Well, I'm tired of being perfect

And I'm bored of being good

And I've done my time, and had my fill
G
Of acting like I should
             C
I've colored right inside the lines
Csus4               C
Now I wanna make a mess

And I don't care if it offends you

Cause I ain't trying to impress

G
I wanna walk down every street
G
In that dress I shouldn't wear
G
Just to show the whole damn world
G                      Gm
Just how little that I care
     C
If I see something that I want

Gonna reach right out and take it
            G
And if this service don't bring smiles

You know I ain't gonna fake it

I'm choosing door number four
G
If they're offering me three
G
I wanna make a choice
G
That's got nothing to do
G                     Gm
With no one else but me

And I'm tired of scripted lines

That have been so well rehearsed

And for just one god damn time

I wanna put my own self first

Good girls rarely make history

You gotta take a risk if you want a story

There's a real fine line

Between content and bored

Raise the bar don't just raise it high
                                   G
