|D    4nGmaj7|-     |Bm    4nA|-     |
|D    4nGmaj7|-     |Bm    4nA|-     |

|D                    4nGmaj7|-   |Bm               4nA|-   |
 bought a bunch of makeup         tryna cover up my face
 |D              4nGmaj7|-        |Bm                 4nA|-   |
i started to skip lunch,  stopped eating cake on birthdays
 
|D                    4nGmaj7|-   |Bm          4nA|-   |
 bought a new prescription     to try and stay calm
           |D                   4nGmaj7|-   |
cuz there’s always something missing
              |Bm                          4nA|-                  |
there’s always something in the mirror that i   think looks wrong
 
    |D           4nGmaj7|-   |Bm               4nA|-   |
when pretty isn’t pretty    enough what do you do
   |D          4nGmaj7|-   |Bm                  4nA|-   |
and everybody’s keeping it up so you think it’s you
       |D                4nGmaj7|-                          |Bm                4nA|-            |
i could change up my body and     change up my face i could try every lipstick in  every shade
|D                        4nGmaj7|-    |Bm      4nA|-              |
   but i’d always feel the same,   cuz pretty isn’t pretty enough

  |D    4nGmaj7|-     |Bm    4nA|-     |
anyways

|D                 4nGmaj7|-   |Bm                      4nA|-   |
 you can win the battle,       but you’ll never win the war
|D                 4nGmaj7|-          |Bm               4nA|-   |
 fix the things you hated,  and you’d still feel so insecure

     |Em                       4nD/F#|-                      |
and i try to ignore it but it’s everything i see it’s on the
|Gmaj7                           4nA|-             |
 posters on the wall, it’s in the shitty magazines
          |Em                                 |D/F#                        |
it’s in my phone, it’s in my head, it’s in the boys i bring to bed it’s all
|Gmaj7                                 |A             |
around, it’s all the time, i don’t know why i even try

    |D           4nGmaj7|-   |Bm               4nA|-   |
when pretty isn’t pretty    enough what do you do
   |D          4nGmaj7|-   |Bm                  4nA|-   |
and everybody’s keeping it up so you think it’s you
       |D                4nGmaj7|-                          |Bm                4nA|-            |
i could change up my body and     change up my face i could try every lipstick in  every shade
|D                        4nGmaj7|-    |Bm      4nA|-              |
   and i’d always feel the same    cuz pretty isn’t pretty enough
 
     |Em                              |D/F#                   |
and i bought all the clothes that they told me to buy i chased
|Gmaj7             |A                 |
 some dumb ideal my whole fucking life
   |Em                    |D/F#                     |Gmaj7                  |A         |
and none of it matters and none of it ends, you just feel like shit over and over again
 
|D    4nGmaj7|-     |Bm    4nA|-                   |
                           no, it’ll never change

|D           4nGmaj7|-   |Bm   4nA|-   |
 pretty isn’t pretty    enough
|D          4nGmaj7|-      |Bm   4nA|-   |
 everybody’s keeping it up
|D           4nGmaj7|-   |Bm   4nA|-   |
 pretty isn’t pretty    enough
