Scrolling on my phone again, double-tapping Instagram,
C
I don't really like how I feel.
G
Watching someone else's life, then I go comparing mine
Am
to a glossy highlight reel.
C G
And it's always sunny weather, they're so well put-together,
G C
seems like everybody's living the dream.
C G
And I'm still in last night's makeup, the kids are waking me up,
D
I've got cheerios stuck to my feet.
Am C
So what? I'm not picture-perfect,
G D
it's messy but it's working just the way it is.
Am C
So what? It's the scars that make us,
G D
there's beauty in the chaos of how we really live.
Am Em
I may not influence another, be the world's greatest mother
G D
or a model wife.
Am* C* D* G
But I don't need a pretty picture to know I've got a beautiful life.
G
Like Alice down the rabbit hole chasing what's uncatchable,
C
temptations each way that I turn.
G
I used to feel ten feet tall, now I'm shrinking, oh, so, small.
D
When the hell am I gonna learn?
Am C
So what? I'm not picture-perfect,

it's messy but it's working just the way it is.

There's a million ways to frame it but I would never change it,
Em C
even if I haven't figured it out.
C G
My inner critic starts to creep up, I'm just tryin' to keep up,
D
all I wanna do is shout.
