A/N This is ear-transcribed, however I have been playing music for a very long time and 
know what notes are what. This song is not too difficult, it simply requires dedicated 
to get the strumming pattern and chord progression correct. Good Luck!

Capo 1st fret

INTRO: Fno5/A, A5, A5/F

Fno5/A        A5               A5/F
I saw a spider, I didn't scream
Fno5/A        A5               A5/F
'Cause I can belch the alphabet
A5/F
just double-dog-dare me
Fno5/A        A5               A5/F
And I chose guitar over ballet
Fno5/A        A5
And I tape these suckers down
A5/F
 'cause they just get in my way

D#mmaj13/A    A#maj13/A   Bmaj13/Bb
The way you look at me
G
Is kinda like a little sister
D#mmaj13/A    A#maj13/A   Bmaj13/Bb
You high-five your goodbyes
G
And it leaves me nothing but blisters

E                   A                Bb
So I don't wanna be one of the boys, one of your guys
C#                       Bb
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight
E                    A
That I just wanna be one of the girls
Bb                    C#
Pretty in pearls, not one of the boys


Fno5/A        A5               A5/F
So over summer, something changed
Fno5/A        A5                   A5/F
I started reading "Seventeen" and shaving my legs,
Fno5/A        A5               A5/F
And I study "Lolita" religiously.
Fno5/A                   A5                   A5/F
And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me

D#mmaj13/A    A#maj13/A   Bmaj13/Bb
'Cause I know what you know
Bmaj13/Bb                     G
But now you're gonna have to take a number
D#mmaj13/A    A#maj13/A   Bmaj13/Bb
It's okay, maybe one day
Bmaj13/Bb                  G
But not until you give me my diamond ring

E                       A                Bb
'Cause I don't wanna be one of the boys, one of your guys
C#                       A
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight
E                        A                Bb
That I just wanna be your homecoming queen
Bb                   C#             E
Pinup poster dream, not one of the boys

D#mmaj13/A    A#maj13/A   Bmaj13/Bb   G
I wanna be a flower, not a dirty weed
D#mmaj13/A    A#maj13/A   Bmaj13/Bb      G
I wanna smell like roses, not a baseball team
D#mmaj13/A    A#maj13/A
And I swear maybe one day
Bmaj13/Bb          G
You're gonna wanna make out, make out, make out with me

E             A
(Don't wanna be)
A            Bb
Don't wanna be
Bb            C#   Bb
(Don't wanna be)


E                   A                Bb
So I don't wanna be one of the boys, one of your guys
C#                         Bb
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight
E                    A
That I just wanna be one of the girls
Bb                   C#
Pretty in pearls, not one of the boys

ENDING: Fno5/A, A5, A5/F
