It Girl

[Intro ]

C                                           G 
 She said I'll make it because I deserve to make it 
F            Fm                  Em 
Every living thing deserves to thrive 
    C                            G 
And maybe I would rather rot and wallow 
       F             Fm              C 
But we all need to believe in a good time 


[Verso 1]
 
          C                                  G 
I'm gonna die old to show you kids what that looks like 
          F                Fm            C 
I might upset you but I'll never let you down 
     F                G            E               Am 
I'll live my precious life, I will leave no soul behind 
             Dm            G         C 
Your eyes do not control me, I stand firm upon the ground 
 


[Refrão]
 
        C                              Em 
So I'll dance until you think I really like it 
     F             Fm              C 
I'll dance until I think I like it too 
     C               E7/Ab          Am 
In a funny way, this is how you all save me 
     F               G             C 
In a funny way, this is how I save you 
 


[Verso 2]
 
        Am           F              C      G 
And you root for me even when you attack me 
     Am                 F             C 
You attack me cause you need me to prevail 
F                           Am 
Everyone needs someone to believe in 
          G                                E 
And you'd rather have me dead than watch me fail 
    Am             F             C      G 
But you don't even see the other options 
           Am                F              C 
You're so scared to help but you don't even know 
          F                                 Am 
You don't really want me young and dead and perfect 
           G                           E 
You want a thinking, feeling animal to show you how to grow 
 


[Refrão]
 
        Am               F              C     E 
And you love it when you see an it girl happy 
              Am             F            C 
She shows you how to love it for yourself someday 
        C                 G/B              Am     G 
And you hate her when she seems so fucking perfect 
        F               E7             Am 
But you wouldn't really want her to be any other way 
      Am             F             C     G 
And I know it sounds funny just to say it 
        Am       F              C  E 
But the irony is none of this is me 
    F               Fm               Am 
I'm just the girl behind the it girl costume 
  Dm        G             C 
I also just need you to believe 
 


[Verso 3]
 
         Am       F             C        G 
I needed songs so badly that I wrote them 
             Am        F                 C E 
They found a home with kids I'll never know 
   F             Fm                 Am 
At first I felt attached and then I didn't 
    Dm                 G                C 
The song stopped being mine to have and hold 
 


[Ponte]
 
       Am          G          F 
They split me into animal and symbol 
F          G             C 
Separated my composite parts 
      C                Em          Am 
The screen between the two is cyberporous 
     F               Fm          C 
My stage name has my soft animal heart 


Breakdown 
N.C.    C               G                Am        E 
So I'll die, oh just to show you what it looks like 
        F                 G             C   Am 
I might hurt you but I'll never let you down 
     Dm               G            E               Am 
I'll love my precious life, I will leave no soul behind 
               Dm            G              F              C 
Your eyes will not control me, I will stand firm upon the ground 
 

[Refrão]
 
        C               G              Am     E 
So I'll dance until you think I really like it 
     F             G            C     Am 
I'll dance until I think I like it too 
     Dm             G                 E       Am 
In a funny way this is how you'll all save me 
     Dm             G           F      C 
In a funny way this is how I'll save you 
 

Outro 
C                              G 
It girls are a special kind of mother 
F                              Am 
It girls are a special kind of child 
   Dm                                 C 
So love this precious it girl for the summer 
G                            Am 
Take her as your parasocial bride 
C                     E 
No one on TV ever gets better 
F                             Am 
 Soon as they do they go off screen 
Dm                                C 
It's so bittersweet that you keep watching 
     G                              C 
It's bittersweet that you want to believe
