Intro: Bb F Bb F
Verse:
Bb  			                    F
I saw a spider I didn’t scream,
Bb
‘Cause I can belch the alphabet,
	F
Just double dog dare me,
       Bb			                  F
And I chose guitar over ballet,
	Bb					                                   F
And I take these suckers down ‘cause they just get in my way.

Dm	         A		      Bb
The way you look at me,
		             G
Is kind of like a little sister,
Dm  	         A			Bb
Rubbed by your goodbyes,
		     G
And it leaves me nothing but blisters.

     F			     A
So I don’t want to be just one of the boys,
Bb
One of the guys,
C#					Bb
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
F		   A
I just want to be one of the girls,
Bb
Pretty in pearls,
C#		Bb
Not one of the boys.

Verse:
So over the summer something changed,
I started reading Seventeen and shaving my legs,
And I studied Lolita religiously,
And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me.

‘Cause I know what you know,
But now you’re going to have to take a number,
It’s okay, maybe one day but not until you give me my diamond ring.

F			     A
‘Cause I don’t want to be one of the boys,
Bb
One of your guys,
C#					Bb
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
F		                      A
I just want to be a homecoming queen,
Bb
Pinup poster dream,
C#		Bb            F
Not one of the boys.

Bb	          A	   Dm	                   G
I want to be a flower, not a dirty weed,
Bb	           A	           Dm		          G
I want to smell like roses, not a baseball team,
Bb		A	            Dm				                       G
And I swear maybe one day you’re going to want to, make out, make out, make out with me

     F			                 A
So I don’t want to be one of the boys,

One of the guys,
C#				                    Bb
Give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
F		                A
I just want to be one of the girls,
Bb
So pretty in pearls,
C#		Bb
Not one of the boys.

F      C#	Bb	F
Oh, one of the boys.
