Capo 4 

        G                      
There's certain things you're s'posed to know 
                                       Am 
When you're a girl who grows up in the south 
  G 
I try to use my common sense, 
                                 Am 
But my foot always ends up in my mouth 
       C 
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of the whole town 
          Bm 
I'd fall down 
            C              D 
And my mama cried when she realized 

        G 
I ain't pageant material 
           Em 
I'm always higher than my hair 
                                          C 
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace 
                                                    D 
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage 
         G  
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial 
            Em                            
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't 
            Am             C       D              G  
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't 

               (A) 
God bless the girls who smile and hug 
                                          Am 
When they're called out as a runner up on TV 
  G 
I wish I could, but I just can't 
                                         Am 
Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin' 
    C 
And who's to say I'm a 9.5, or a 4.0  
                  Bm 
If you don't even know me 
            C                 D 
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose and 
  
        G 
I ain't pageant material 
           Em 
I'm always higher than my hair 
                                          C 
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace 
                                                    D 
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage 
         G  
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial 
            Em                            
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't 
            Am             C       D              G  
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't 

Em  C  D 

        G 
I ain't pageant material 
         Em 
The only crown is in my glass 
                                            C 
They won't be handin' me a sash, and that's okay, cause there's no way 
                                      D 
You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage 
         G  
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial 
            Em                            
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't 
            Am             C       D              G  
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't 
                Am             C       D              G  
Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
