Am7 Em
squint your eyes and look closer
C9 G
I'm not between you and your ambition
Am7 Em
I am a poster girl with no poster
C9 G
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
Am7 Em
and I'm beyond your peripheral vision
C9 G
so you might want to turn your head
Am7 Em
cause someday you're going to get hungry
C9 G
and eat most of the words you just said
Am7 Em
both my parents taught me about good will
C9 G
and I have done well by their names
Am7 Em
just the kindness I've lavished on strangers
C9 G
is more than I can explain
Am7 Em
still there's many who've turned out their porch lights
C9 G
just so I would think they were not home
Am7 Em
and hid in the dark of their windows
C9 G
til I'd passed and left them alone
G Am7 Em C9
ooooooh Hey ya hey yaaaahaa x4
Am7 Em
and god help you if you are an ugly girl
C9 G
course too pretty is also your doom
Am7 Em
cause everyone harbors a secret hatred
C9 G
for the prettiest girl in the room
Am7 Em
and god help you if you are a phoenix
C9 G
and you dare to rise up from the ash
Am7 Em
a thousand eyes will smolder with jealousy
C9 G
while you are just flying back
Am7 Em
I'm not trying to give my life meaning
C9 G
by demeaning you
Am7 Em
and I would like to state for the record
C9 G
I did everything that I could do
Am7 Em
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
C9 G
I just don't want to live that way
Am7 Em
no, I will never be a saint
C9 G
but I will always say
Am7 Em
squint your eyes and look closer
C9 G
I'm not between you and your ambition
Am7 Em
I am a poster girl with no poster
C9 G
I am thirty-two flavors and then some
Am7 Em
And I'm beyond your peripheral vision
C9 G
So you might want to turn your head
Am7 Em
Cause someday you might find you're starving
C9 G
and eating all of the words you said
G Am7 Em C9
ooooooh Hey ya hey yaaaahaa x4
