Pageant Material Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 2]
I [G]ain't 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 [D]a stage
I ain't [G]ex actly Ms. Congenial
Sometimes I [Em]talk before I think,
I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather [Am]lose for what I [C]am
than [D]win for what I [G]ain't

[Verse 3]
God [G]bless the girls 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 [C]always roses [D]and pantyhose

[Verse 4]
And I [G]ain't 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 [D]a stage
I ain't [G]exactly Ms. Congenial
Sometimes I [Em]talk before I think,
I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather [Am]lose for what I [C]am than [D]win
for what [G]I ain't

[G][D]

[Verse 5]
I [G]ain't 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 [D]a stage
I ain't [G]exactly Ms. Congenial
Sometimes I [Em]talk before I think,
I try to fake it but I can't
I'd rather [Am]lose for what I [C]am than
[D]win for what [G]I ain't
Yeah, I'd rather [Am]lose for what I [C]am than [D]win for what
[G]I[Em]
[C]ain't
