Chord/Tab song: Pageant Material

Capo on 4th

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

I ain't [G]pageant material
I'm always [Em]higher than my hair
And it ain't that I don't care about world[C] peace
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a [D]stage
I ain't e[G]xactly Ms. Congenial
Sometimes I [Em]talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather l[Am]ose for what I [C]am than [D]win for what I [G]ain't

God bless the g[(A)]irls who smile and hug
When they're called out as a runner up on [Am]TV
I [G]wish I could, but I just can't
Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm [Am]feelin'
And [C]who's to say I'm a 9.5, or a 4.0
If you don't even [Bm]know me
Life ain't a[C]lways roses and pa[D]ntyhose and

I ain't [G]pageant material
I'm always [Em]higher than my hair
And it ain't that I don't care about world[C] peace
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a [D]stage
I ain't e[G]xactly Ms. Congenial
Sometimes I [Em]talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather l[Am]ose for what I [C]am than [D]win for what I [G]ain't

[Em] [C] [D]
I ain't [G]pageant material
The only [Em]crown is in my glass
They won't be handin' me a sash, and that's [C]okay, cause there's no way
You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a [D]stage
I ain't e[G]xactly Ms. Congenial
Sometimes I [Em]talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather l[Am]ose for what I [C]am than [D]win for what I [G]ain't
Yeah I'd rather [Am]lose for what I[C] am than[D] win for what I[G] ain't

[Em] [C] [D] [G] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
