Tonart: A minor
Verse 1
Am
Seem like everywhere I go
G
What's it like to be a girl
Verse 2
Am
The scene is so sexist, believe me I get it
We'd probably sell more records
If I flaunted my ass and chest, but forget it
I work like one of the boys,
and I'm as true as they get
C
But I'm a lady through and through,
Em
Am
like give me some credit
Verse 3
I knew I'd regret it if I tried
to blend in and pretend
Be something other than I am
Like have you noticed I'm a woman?
Didn't come to downplay it, or to
play it up either
F
C
And I'm not trying pick a fight
Em
or be nobody's leader
Verse 4
Am
But it feels like everybody's
just a little too interested
In the fact that females can
indeed make music
F
Our in terviews, our bios,
Am
they all make it a point
"Female Fronted Band,
from Decatur, Illinois"
Verse 5
I'd like to see some other band's resume
go out of their way to say
They're fronted by a male, ok?
And while we're on it, let me say
Women don't all sound the same
Who gave us the idea that "female
fronted" is a genre anyway?
Verse 6
C
Seem like everywhere I go,
everybody wanna know
G
What's it like to be a girl,
Am
Wanna make it disappear,
Dm
tell 'em what they wanna hear
C
G
If truth ain't pretty,
C
will you all stay with me
G
Em
Will you love me, love me ugly?
Verse 7
Em
Am
And I know it's not fair,
and I can't complain
'Cause with girl in our band,
people don't look away
But you know what,
it feels like they look just a little too long
Stare me up and down, forget
to listen to the song
Verse 8
and before I even open my mouth
The audience assumes that they
got us all figured out
"Oh your band's got a chick,
must be some kinda trick"
F
"There's no way she got this far without
Verse 9
Am
Did you really think that's
how it works?
I'm not fucking eye candy
I'm here to do my job,
I'll be the last man standing
Boys in crowd asking, for me to flash them
F
Well here you go, news flash
Em
You're ignorant, and that's that
Verse 10
Am
I bet you'd never say that
to your little sister
The media's got you all jacked up,
little mister
'Cause girls in my position
can perpetuate the cycle
Am
Em
Am
don't know which way to go
F
Dm
Hypersexualize, or downplay your femininity
Verse 11
Am
Dress like the dudes,
or pray to God that you're pretty
Are you kidding me? And I don't
F
even know who's to blame
I buy it too, I'm trying to sell it back it you
Verse 12
C
Seem like everywhere I go,
everybody wanna know
G
What's it like to be a girl
Am
Wanna make it disappear,
Dm
tell 'em what they wanna hear
will you all stay with me
G
Dm
Em
Will you love me, love me ugly?
Verse 13
Am
So tell me, what's a woman to do- no,
Tell me what's a human being
What gets us ahead holds us back more
F
Em
Is a level playing field too much to ask for?
Verse 14
Am
And I know that by saying
it, I'm bringing attention
C
To an issue that might be
better left unmentioned
G
But someone's gotta say
it, gotta call out the scene
Em
my sanity's split at the seams
Verse 15
Am
So to all of ya'll making this
just about ass and tits
Here to set the record straight,
it don't gotta be this way
We can change the game,
rearrange the way to fame
F
And make a bigger deal about the
Em
tal ent than the face
Verse 16
Am
See I got little girls watching me,
wanting to be like me
I wanna show them that they don't
gotta be like me
They can do their own thing,
they can rewrite the rules
Em
without acting like fools
Am
So lets not make it harder
Verse 17
Am
than it has to be
F
Am
I'll keep making music,
you stop asking me
What's it like to be a girl in the
entertainment world?
Verse 18
'Cause now you know
Am
Seem like everywhere I go,
G
What's it like to be a girl,
Am
Wanna make it disappear,

will you all stay with me
Dm
Em
Will you love me, love me ugly?
Verse 19
Am
Seem like everywhere I go,

all stay with me
Dm
Em
Will you love me, love me ugly?
