[Verse]
G
There's certain things you're s'posed to know
Am
When you're a girl who grows up in the south
G
I try to use my common sense,
Am
But my foot always ends up in my mouth
C
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of the whole town
Bm
I'd fall down
C D
And my mama cried when she realized
[Chorus]
G
I ain't pageant material
Em
I'm always higher than my hair
C
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
D
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
G
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
Em
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
Am C D G
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
[Verse]
(G)
God bless the girls who smile and hug
Am
When they're called out as a runner up on TV
G
I wish I could, but I just can't
Am
Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'
C
And who's to say I'm a 9.5, or a 4.0
Bm
If you don't even know me
C D
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose and
[Chorus]
G
I ain't pageant material
Em
I'm always higher than my hair
C
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
D
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
G
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
Em
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
Am C D G
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
[Instrumental]
Em C D
[Chorus]
G
I ain't pageant material
Em
The only crown is in my glass
C
They won't be handin' me a sash, and that's okay, cause there's no way
D
You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage
G
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
Em
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
Am C D G
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
Am C D G
Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
[Instrumental]
Em C D G Em C D G
