Intro: G5

G5 , G5 , G5 , C5 , E5 , C5 (let ring)
                           I don't wanna wear that
G5 , G5 , G5 , C5 , E5 , C5 (let ring)
                           It only makes me look fat
G5 , G5 , G5 , G5 ,              C5 , C5 , C5      E5 (let ring)
Time to tone my thighs-- gotta lose another size, yeah!
G5 , G5 , G5 , C5 , E5 , C5 (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

G5          G5        G5        G5
We like to buy, we like to spend,
G5 (faster chord strums) G5 G5 G5
to keep up with the latest trend
C5        C5         C5
But we don't get no satisfaction
C5 (faster)  C5 C5 C5
living like a slave to fashion
E5        E5       E5
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]

G5    G5  G5      G5 G5 G5 G5 G5
It's so very--unnecessary
C5 C5 C5  [ C5 <(x5]
Yeah, how insane--to be so vain
E5  E5 E5       [ E5 <(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)
C5 C5
Perfect! What a way to wanna be!

Outro: G (repeated)
