Intro:C F Am GC F
Bought a bunch of makeup
Am G
Tryna cover up my face
C F
I started to skip lunch
Am G
Stopped eatinʼ cake on birthdays
C F
I bought a new prescription
Am G
To try and stay calm
C F
ʼCause thereʼs always somethinʼ missinʼ
Am
Thereʼs always somethinʼ in the mirror
G
That I think looks wrong
Chorus: C F Am
When pretty isnʼt pretty enough
G
What do you do?
C F Am
And everybodyʼs keepinʼ it up
G
So you think itʼs you
C F
I could change up my body, and change up my face
Am G C
I could try every lipstick in every shade
F
But Iʼd always feel the same
Am G C F Am G
ʼCause pretty isnʼt pretty enough anyway
C F
You can win the battle
Am G
But youʼll never win the war
C F
You fix thе things you hated
Am G
And youʼd still feel so insecure
Dm
And I try to ignorе it,
C
But itʼs everything I see
F
Itʼs on the poster on the wall,
G
Itʼs in the shitty magazines
Dm
Itʼs in my phone, itʼs in my head,
C
Itʼs in the boys I bring to bed
F
Itʼs all around, itʼs all the time,
G
I donʼt know why I even try

When pretty isnʼt pretty enough

C F
I could change up my body, and change up my face
Am G C
I could try every lipstick in every shade
F
But Iʼd always feel the same
Am G
ʼCause pretty isnʼt pretty enough
Bridge: Dm C
And I bought all the clothes that they told me to buy
F G
I chased some dumb ideal my whole fucking life
Dm C
And none of it matters, and none of it ends

You just feel like shit over and over again
