G , G , G , C9 , Em7 , C9 (let ring)
                           I don't wanna wear that
G , G , G , C9 , Em7 , C9 (let ring)
                           It only makes me look fat
G , G , G , G ,              C9 , C9 , C9      Em7 (let ring)
Time to tone my thighs-- gotta lose another size, yeah!
G , G , G , C9 , Em7 , C9 (immediate palm mute)
                           What a way to wanna be

Exfoliate--look great!
Feel guilty 'bout what you ate
You're buyin' all the books--
to learn the latest looks, yeah
What a way to wanna be

G          G        G        G
We like to buy, we like to spend,
G (faster chord strums) G G G
to keep up with the latest trend
C9        C9         C9
But we don't get no satisfaction
C9 (faster)  C9 C9 C9
living like a slave to fashion
Em7        Em7       Em7
No more thinking for yourself,
G (let ring)
just get it off a shelf

[Chorus:]
G (throughout entire chorus, listen for strumming pattern)
Oh--oh, why be perfect--no--oh,
it's not worth it
Don't be so obsessed--c'mon give it a rest
This is not some contest--just do your best
'Cause no--oh body's perfect!
What a way to wanna be

(same as above)
Moisturize, exercise, erase the
rings around your eyes
Cover what you can,
get a Coppertone tan, yeah
What a way to wanna be!

Stabilize the mood you're in--
you're back on diet food again
Bigger is the best, but only
in the chest, yeah!
What a way to wanna be

(same as above)
We like to buy, we like to spend,
to keep up with the latest trend
But we don't get no satisfaction
living like a slave to fashion
No more thinking for yourself,
just get it off a shelf

[Repeat Chorus]

G    G  G      G G G G G
It's so very--unnecessary
C9 C9 C9  [ C9 <(x5]
Yeah, how insane--to be so vain
Em7  Em7 Em7       [ Em7 <(x5]
It's so synthetic--I just don't get it
G (repeat a bunch of times)
I don't get it, baby, yeah, yeah

G (same as chorus)
Don't be so obsessed--c'mon give it a rest
This is not some contest--just do your best
'Cause no--oh body's perfect!

(Don't play)
Ooooohhhhhh

G (same as chorus)
Oh, no--oh body's perfect
No--oh, it's not worth it
Don't be so obsessed
(No--oh body's perfect)
This is not some contest
(No--oh body's perfect)
C9 C9
Perfect! What a way to wanna be!

Outro: G (repeated)
