Dm                           F                          G       Dm
An ordinary girl in a boring world, Is that what you're looking for?
Dm                                            F  
A girl who follows trends, Dresses like her friends…

Who’d do anything to fit in
Dm                                    F                                     
So you measure me, ‘cause you need to be… 
                G           Dm
sure I'll look good on your arm
Dm                               F    (pause)

I'm a quirky girl in an offbeat world, I'm up close and personal
                                              F
I do the weirdest things, I'm not too shy to sing…
