Verse 1:
Am     Em      G        D
 Sophie cannot finish her dinner
Am        Em                D
 She says she's eatin' enough
Am       Em         G           D
 Sophie's tryin' to make herself thinner
Am    Em                  D
 Says she's eatin' too much
C    G                         G    D
 And her brother says, "You're joking,"
C    G                     D
 And her mother's heart is broken
C    G                  G   D
 Sophie has a hard time copin'
C        G              C
 And, besides, Sophie's hopin'


Chorus:
G           D                  Em  C
 She can be like all the other girls
G             D             C
 Be just like all the other girls
G            D         Em
 Livin' in an ordinary world
C               G       D        C
 Just to fit in, to the ordinary world
               G        D        C   
Just to fit in, like an ordinary girl

Verse 2:
Am    Em         G            D
 Sophie's losin' weight by the minute
Am   Em                     D
 How did things get this bad?
Am    Em              G            D
 Sophie's family, they don't understand it
Am    Em                   D
 Gave her all that they had
C    G                     G  D
 And her sister won't stop cryin'
C       G                     D
 'Cause her father says she's dyin'
C      G                  G  D
 Sophie says she's really tryin'
C      G              C
 Problem is, Sophie's lying.


Chorus:
G           D                  Em  C
 She can be like all the other girls
G             D             C
 Be just like all the other girls
G            D         Em
 Livin' in an ordinary world
C               G       D        C
 Just to fit in, to the ordinary world
               G        D        C   
Just to fit in, like an ordinary girl


Bridge:

 How did she get this way?
Bm7
 How did she get this way?
        C  G      C    D
Through tryin' to hide it.
Bm7
 What does it take to say,
Bm7
 What does it take to say
      C  G            C  D
She's dying, Sophie's dying


Chorus:
G           D                  Em  C
 To be like all the other girls
G             D             C
 Be just like all the other girls
G            D         Em     C
 Livin' in an ordinary world, just to fit in
G       D        C             
 To the ordinary world, just to fit in
G           D                  Em  C
 And be like all the other girls
G             D             C
 Be just like all the other girls
G            D         Em     C
 Livin' in an ordinary world, just to fit in
G       D        C
 To the ordinary world, just to fit in
G        D        C   
 Like an ordinary girl...
