I am not [F#m] a pretty girl, [A] that is not [E] what I do, [F#m] I ain't no damsel in [A] distress, and I don't
need to be [E] rescued, so put [F#m] me down [A] punk.
Wouldn't you prefer a [E] maiden fair?
[B] Isn't there a [F#] kitten stuck up [B] a tree somewhere?
[A] [F#m] I am not an angry [A] girl, [E]
[A] but it seems like I've [B] got everyone fooled, every [F#m] time I say
something they [A] find hard to [E] hear, [A] they chalk it up to my [E] anger, and never to their [B] own
[F#m] fair imagine, you're a girl [A]
just trying to finally [E] come clean, knowing [F#m] full well they

yourself [G#m] an [E] alternate [F#m] plan, and I have earned my [A] disillusion, [D] I have been working [E] all of
my life, [F#m] and I am a patriot, [A] [A] I have been fighting [E] the good fight, [F#m] and what if there
are no [A] damsels in distress, what if I knew that and I called your [B] bluff, [F#] don't you think
every kitten figures out how to get down, [A] whether or not you ever [F#m] show?
[A] [D] [E] [F#m] I am not a pretty [A] girl, [D] [A] [C#m] I don't [F#m] really wanna be a pretty [A] girl, [D] [E] I wanna be [F#m] more than a pretty [A] girl
