CHORD* means one strum
G*
Well here I am again
D*
The pretty but naïve one
A*
The perky-breasted, giggly one night stand
G*
Is it my destiny to be
D*
A brief diversion
A* G*
Just a detour on the journey of some man?
D
I'm not really one for askin'
A
I'll play whatever role I'm cast in
D
Will smile with perfect teeth
A
And grimace underneath
G
I learned back in my teens
D
There's no point in protestin'
G
If you look good in tight jeans
A
That's what they'll want you dressed in
G
Once you're known for low-cut tops
D
It's pretty hard to stop
G
It isn't easy to break free
A*

D
I don't really remember
A
I guess I chose to be here
D
I wasn't quite aware that
A
I was put here to be stared at
G
But this world I chose to live in
D
Is mostly run by men
G
So you take what you are given
A
Just to feel the love again
G
So throughout the endless week
D
And all through the weekend
G
You will find me here

D
And look, I know this person fits me
A
I'm pretty good at being pretty
D
And I'm grateful, I mean to say
A
There are worse roles you can play
G
And I'd rather be up dancing
D
Than sat against a wall
G
It's better to be leered at
A
Than not desired at all
G
Who am I to dream of better
D G A
To dream that one day I will be
G
Something more than just collateral
D
In someone else's battle
G
I will be
A*
Something more than Nancy
