E G#m A B C
Capo 2nd fret
[Verse 1]
E
I'm sorry, but I'm just a girl
G#m
Not usually the kind to show my heart to the world
A
I'm pretty good at keeping it together
B
I hold my composure, for worse or for better
E
So I apologize if you don't like what you see
G#m
But sometimes my emotions get the best of me
A
And falling apart is as human as it gets
B
You can't hide it, you can't fight what the truth is
[Chorus 1]
E
You can pretty lie and say it's okay
G#m
You can pretty smile and just walk away
A
Pretty much fake your way through anything
B E
But you can't cry pretty
[Verse 2]
E
Oh no, you can’t dress it up in lace or rhinestones
G#m
Don't matter if you're in a crowd or home all alone
A
Yeah, it's all the same when you're looking in the mirror
B
A picture of pain, so let it flow like a river
[Chorus 2]
[Próxima Parte]
[Refrão]
E
You can't turn off the flood when the dam breaks
G#m
When all your mascara is going to waste
A
When things get ugly, you just gotta face
[Próxima Parte]
