Valedictorian

C           G                Am
 The gig is up, the battle’s done
                 G                 
The kings and queens put down their
  F
 crowns
           C        F
The war is over now
                 G           C
Why am I still empty somehow?
                G                  
The lights are downed, they take a 
Am
bow
           G                F
Standing ovations from the crowd
            C             F
I worked so hard for this
                   G
But still, do I deserve it?
    C               G             
And they all say it feels so good 
   Am                   G
to reach your goals someday
F                      C         
Eyes on the prize, but I still 
       F               G
feel like maybe I'm just in the way


[Chorus]
C                G
I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
       Am                    G
Didn't know what I wanted until the 
tenth grade
   F                   C
So what am I here for? What do I 
say?
F                   G
I'm not your valedictorian
C                    G
I see it written all over their 
faces
     Am                      
They know I'm probably taking 
            G
someone else's space
F                      C
So what am I here for? What do I 
say?

[Verse 2]
              G                   
They call my name, you squeeze my 
Am
hand
                   G               
But I'm still that girl who didn't 
     F
understand
        C
Asking questions in the classroom
F                       G        
This cap and gown feels more like
           G
 a costume
                    G              
My high school counselor once told 
Am
me
                G              F
Some things are just out of your 
league
     C
“You should stick to singing
F                                
'Cause they build robots and you 
G
can't compete”


[Chorus]
C               G
I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
       Am                    G
Didn't know what I wanted until the 
tenth grade
   F                   C
So what am I here for? What do I 
say?
F                   G
I'm not your valedictorian
C                    G
I see it written all over their 
faces
     Am                      
They know I’m probably taking 
         G

   F                   C
So what am I here for? What do I 
say?
F                   G
I'm not your valedictorian


[Bridge]
C                G
I wanna thank my mom and dad
Am                     G
I wanna thank the best friends I 
ever had
        F                          
I wanna thank my sister, 'cause she
     C
 was always there for me
F                     G
To them, I'm always a valedictorian


[Chorus]
C                G
I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
       Am                    G
Didn't know what I wanted until the 
tenth grade
   F                   C
So what am I here for? What do I 
say?
F                   G
I'm not your valedictorian
C                    G
I see it written all over their 
faces
Am                          
They know I’m probably taking 
          G
someone else's space
   F                   C
So what am I here for? What do I 
say?
F                   G
I'm not your valedictorian
