"Video" - India Arie
Chords by Joan's Genius 2001
Intro: G C D // G C F (2x)
Verse 1:
G F Em
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
G F Em
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
G F Em
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
G F Em
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
Chorus:
G F G F
I'm not the average girl from your video and I ain't built like a supermodel
G F G F
But I learned to love myself unconditionally, because I am a queen
G F G F
I'm not the average girl from your video, my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
G F G F
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be the india arie
Verse 2:
G F Em
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
G F Em
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
G F Em
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
G F Em
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes, I'm lovin' what I see
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
G F Em
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
G F Em
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
G F Em
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the game
G F Em
A misconception, a vast deception, something's gotta change
Verse 4:
G F Em
But don't be offended, this is all my opinion, ain't nothing that I'm saying' law
G F Em
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with y'all
G F Em
So get in where you fit in, go on and shine, clear your mind, now's the time
G F Em
Put your salt on the shelf, go on and love yourself, cuz everything's gonna be all right
(Chorus)
Bridge:
G F Em
Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks, I don't need that to have a good time
G F Em
Keep your expensive car and your caviar, all I need is my guitar
G F Em
Keep your Kristal and your pistol, I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
G F Em
Don't need your silicone, I prefer my own, what God gave me is just fine
(Chorus)
