               D
Hey homecoming queen
           A
Why do you lie
               F#m
When somebody's mean?
             E
Where do you hide?
          D
Do people assume
              A
You're always alright?

Been'so good at smiling
              E
Most of your life
 
     D                A
Look damn good in the dress
                    F#m
Zipping up the mess
                  E
Dancing with your best foot forward
D
Does it get hard
A
To have to play the part?
F#m              E
Nobody's feeling sorry for ya
 
D              A                          F#m
But what if I told you the world wouldn't end
               E                         D
If you started showing what's under your skin
            A                      F#m
What if you let 'em all in on the lie?
             E                   D  A  F#m  E
Even the homecoming queen cries
 
                D
Hey homecoming queen
                A
How's things at home?
                 F#m
Still walking on eggshells
                   E
When that curtains closed
               D
Did your daddy teach you
           E
How to act tough?
                  F#m
Or more like your momma?
                   E
Sweep it under the rug 
 
     D                A
Look damn good in the dress
                    F#m
Zipping up the mess
                  E
Dancing with your best foot forward
D
Did you want the crown
A
Or does it weigh you down
F#m              E
Nobody's feeling sorry for ya
 
D              A                          F#m
What if I told you the world wouldn't end

If you started showing what's under your skin?
            A                      F#m
What if you let 'em all in on the lie?
             E                   D
Even the homecoming queen cries

                 E                                  D
If you lost your composure, said to hell with it all
               A                     F#m
Not everything pretty sparkles and shines
                E                   D
