D G
Bought a bunch of makeup
Bm A
Tryna cover up my face
D G
I started to skip lunch
Bm A
Stopped eatin' cake on birthdays
D G
I bought a new prescription
Bm A
To try and stay calm
D G
'Cause there's always somethin' missin'
Bm A
There's always somethin' in the mirror that I think looks wrong
♫ Chorus:
D G Bm
When pretty isn't pretty enough
A
What do you do?
D G Bm
And everybody's keepin' it up
A
So you think it's you
D G
I could change up my body, and change up my face
Bm A D
I could try every lipstick in every shade
G
But I'd always feel the same
Bm A D G Bm A
'Cause pretty isn't pretty enough anyway
♫ Verse 2:

You can win the battle

And I try to ignorе it, but it's everything I see
G A
It's on the poster on the wall, it's in the shitty magazines
Em D
It's in my phone, it's in my head, it's in the boys I bring to bed
G A
It's all around, it's all the time, I don't know why I even try

D G Bm
When pretty isn't pretty enough

I could try every lipstick in every shade
G
But I'd always feel the same
Bm A
'Cause pretty isn't pretty enough
♫ Bridge:
Em D
And I bought all the clothes that they told me to buy

I chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life

And none of it matters, and none of it ends
G A D G Bm
You just feel like shit over and over again
♫ Outro:
A
No, it'll never change

Pretty isn't pretty enough
D G Bm A
Everybody's keepin' it up, oh
D G Bm A
Pretty isn't pretty enough

Pretty isn't
