Am I Pretty Chords by The Maine

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I was born an only child to a single mother.
Some of my [B] first memories in life,
sleeping in cars and sleeping in parks even,
just no place to go.
I primarily grew up on the reservation
and I'm kind of living as [Bb] a modern-day Native American woman.
I had Tiffany at [B] 19, I had Teres at 21,
_ and I just [Bb] kind of missed out on a lot of the things
everyone did at that time.
I'd say coming [B] out as gay was pretty rough in my life.
I grew up with an abusive stepfather,
and pretty much according to him,
everything about me as a person was incorrect.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
People called me a drunk when I was a child
because [B] I came from the reservation.
You know, fat guy, gather the way, you know, big guy.
I always get made fun of [Bb] because I'm short.
I have a really big head.
Dancers are long and lanky, [B] and I'm not long and lanky.
I've been called, you know, [Bb] homo.
I've been called gave-tooth goblin.
I've been called ugly, I've been called [B] disgusting. _ _
_ _ Usually when I look in the mirror and I look at celebrities,
I always think, like, wow, they're so much prettier,
they're so much [B] better.
Instead, we get a little bigger.
When I walk out into the [Bb] world, am I this person here,
this brown woman, or am I [Bm] this person here,
this whiter woman that they want to see?
My biggest thing was not knowing if I was good [Bb] enough.
Growing up, being overweight, being fat, I always felt [E] ugly.
Age catches up with you.
[B] There's no getting around it. _ _
[E] People tell me I'm going [Bb] nowhere in my life.
People tell [Abm] me that I'm never going to amount to anything,
and it's _ _ [Ab] sad.
_ _ _ [E] Am I pretty? _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [Gb] You're pretty.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ You think I'm [Gb] ugly, don't [B] you?
_ [E] And I know you hate my [Gb] body.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ If you don't like [B] just what I do, I'll do what you like.
[E] So maybe then you'll want me.
[B] _
Maybe then you'll want me.
Am I pretty?
Few people [E] like me.
Is there a [B] body in my [Gb] body?
It's such a [B] pity no one [E] adores me.
_ So make me up and say, defense [Gb] me, tell me, love.
Oh, am I pretty?
[B] _
_ Am [E] I pretty?
_ [B] _
_ _ [Gb] _ You [Ab] make me feel like _ _ _ [E] confetti for the [Gb] gathering.
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ [E] So I'll get used [B] to getting used to being bad for you.
[E] So maybe then you'll have me.
[B] _
Maybe then you'll have me.
Am I pretty?
Few people [E] like me.
Is there a [B] body in my [Gb] body?
It's such a [B] pity no one [E] adores me.

_ _ [Gb] Am I [B] pretty? _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ This beauty breaks the flaws of your face.
I'll cannot stop you from a smile.
This beauty breaks the flaws of your face.
I'll cannot stop.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ I've [F] met great friends in life and they've loved me for who I am, not just for how I look.
[Eb] Just telling yourself that you're beautiful, you're fine.
And you're here for a reason.
If we forget the experiences that made us who we are, then we're never truly who we are.
I am pretty. _
