Tom : A
A A/B A A/B
[Verse 1]
A A/B
Popcorn, soda, box of Raisinets
A A/B
Velvet-cushioned seats and soft armrests
A A/B
Best seat in my favorite movie house
A A/B
Start my dreaming as the lights go out
D A Bm
Up on the silver screen, I picture me
D A Bm E
Living out my passions, hopes, and fantasies.
[Chorus 1]
A
I want to be the girl in the movies
Bm
The one with the glint in her eyes
A
The girl that seldom loses
Bm
Beautiful, with grace and style
A
Acting out her story
Bm
Standing in her glory
A
Happy ever after
Bm A
I want to be the girl in the movies.
[Verse 2]
A A/B
Wish I had a nickel for each dime I've spent
A A/B
Watching others live their lives with confidence
A A/B
Here's a preview of some things to come
A A/B
It's not too late for me to be someone
D A Bm
I can't keep living in their make-believe
D A Bm E
Coming attractions will be starring me.
[Chorus]
A
I want to be the girl in the movies
Bm
The one with the stars in her eyes (In her eyes)
A
She gets the roles she chooses
Bm
She can laugh or she can cry
A
Acting in her story
Bm
Standing in her glory
A
Always happy endings
Bm A
I want to be the girl in the movies.
[Bridge]
D
It's time I show the world just what I'm about
A
I'm steppin' up and I'm steppin' out
D
I'm feelin' bold and I'm feelin' proud
E
I want to be that girl
[Chorus]
A A/B
I want to be the girl in the movies Hmm hmm
A A/B
I want to be the girl in the movies Hmm hmm hmm
[Outro]
A
Gonna stand up and I'm gonna matter
A/B
'Cause I've had enough of my dreams being shattered
A
And I've had enough of my tears being splattered
A/B
I've already been that girl.
A
Oh, I want to be (I want to be) I want to be (I want to be)
A/B
I want to be the girl in the movies
A
I want to be (I want to be) Hey look at me (Hey look at me)
A/B
I want to be the girl in the movies
A
I want to shine (I want to shine) I want to shine (I'm gonna shine)
A/B
It's my time and I want to shine
A
I want to be happy, I want to be free
A/B A
Just like the girl in the movies.
