Verse 1
G G 
 
There's certain things
you're s'posed to know
When you're a girl
Am Am 
 
who grows up in the south
G G 
 
I try to use my common sense
Am Am 
 
But my foot always ends up in my mouth
C C 
 
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels
In front of the whole town,
Bm Bm 
 
I'd fall down
C C 
 
And my mama cried
D D 
 
When she realized

Verse 2
G G 
 
I ain't pageant material
Em Em 
 
I'm always higher than my hair
And it ain't that I don't

But I don't see how I can fix
D D 
 
it in a swimsuit on a stage
G G 
 
I ain't ex actly Ms. Congenial

Sometimes I talk before I think,
I try to fake it but I can't

I'd rather lose for what I am
D D 
 
G G 
 
than win for what I ain't

Verse 3
G G 
 
God bless the girls who smile
and hug
When they're called out
Am Am 
 
as a runner up on TV
G G 
 
I wish I could, but I just can't
Wear a smile when a smile
Am Am 
 
ain't what I'm feelin'
C C 
 
And who's to say I'm a 9.5
Bm Bm 
 
Or a 4.0 if you don't even know me
C C 
 
D D 
 
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose

Verse 4
G G 
 
And I ain't pageant material
Em Em 
 
I'm always higher than my hair
And it ain't that I don't
C C 
 
care about world peace
But I don't see how I can fix
D D 
 
it in a swimsuit on a stage

I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial

Sometimes I talk before I think,
I try to fake it but I can't
Am Am 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
I'd rather lose for what I am than win
G G 
 
for what I  ain't

I ain't pageant material

The only crown is in my glass
They won't be handin'

I try to fake it but I can't
