Miss Third Ward your first question: what is your aspiration in life?
oh, my aspiration in life would be to be happy.


B        C#m              G#m
Mama said, you're a pretty girl
                  F#              B
What's in your head it doesn't matter
          C#m             G#m
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
           F#              B
What you wear is all that matters

[Pre-Hook]
Just another stage
Pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down

[Hook]  B   C#m   G#m   F#
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Perfection is the disease of a nation
Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Tryna fix something
But you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs the surgery

[Verse 2]
Blonder hair, flat chest
TV says bigger is better
South beach, sugar free
Vogue says thinner is better

[Pre-Hook + Hook]

[Bridge]
E                                               G#m
Ain’t got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
The pain's inside
                              B                          
And nobody frees you from your body
                              F#
It's the soul that needs surgery (x2)
E                                            G#m
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
                                              E
And you break when the paper signs you in the dark
You left a shattered mirror
                             F#
And the shards of a beautiful girl

[Hook]  
[same progression as the beginning: 
B   C#m   G#m   F#]   

[Outro]
When you're alone all by yourself
And you're lying in your bed
Reflection stares right into you
Are you happy with yourself?
It's just a way to masquerade
The illusion has been shed
Are you happy with yourself? (x2)
Yes
