[Verse]
BF#
Mama said, you're a pretty girl
G#mE
What's in your head, it doesn't matter
BF#
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
G#mE
What you wear is all that matters
BF#G#mE
Just another stage, pageant the pain away
BF#
This time I'm gonna take the crown
G#mE
Without falling down, down
[Chorus]
BF#G#mE
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
BF#G#mE
Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts
BF#G#mE
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
BF#G#m
Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
E
It's the soul that needs the surgery
[Verse]
BF#
Blonder hair, flat chest
G#mE
TV says bigger is better
BF#
South beach, sugar free
G#mE
Vogue says thinner is better
BF#
Just another stage
G#mE
Pageant the pain away
BF#
This time I'm gonna take the crown
G#mE
Without falling down, down
[Chorus]
BF#G#mE
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
BF#G#mE
Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts
BF#G#mE
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
BF#G#m
Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
E
It's the soul that needs the surgery
[Bridge]
F#
Ain't got no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
G#m
The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body
E
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery
F#
It's my soul that needs surgery
F#
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
G#m
Then you break when the fake facade leaves you in the dark
EE
You left a shattered mirror and the shards of a beautiful girl
[Chorus]
BF#G#mE
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
BF#G#mE
Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts
BF#G#mE
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
BF#G#m
Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
N.C.
It's the soul that needs the surgery
[Outro]
BF#
When you're alone all by yourself
G#mE
And you're lying in your bed
BF#
Reflection stares right into you
G#mE
Are you happy with yourself
BF#
You stripped away the masquerade
G#mE
The illusion has been shed
BF#
Are you happy with yourself?
G#mE
Are you happy with yourself?, yes
