I play this on capo 4.  Probably not perfectly accurate, but it sounds right to 
CMy hair's a wreDck
CMascara ruEmns
CMy feet get dEmirty
And my sGkin burns in the suDn.
My lips they Embleed
But I stGill sing my soDngs.
Takes me a miEmnute
To aAmdmit it when I'm wrDong.
AmPretty is as pretty does,
But Empretty's not my thCing.
CThis is what you Emget.
CThis is who I Amam.
CTake me now or leDsus4ave me
ADsus2ny way you can.
CSometimes I trip and fEmall
CBut I know where I stAmand.
And if you're tChinking about cAmhanging my dEmirection,
        N.C.
Don't mess with imperfection.
CMy back is weDak,
CBut my will is tEmrue.
CGot good inteEmntions
But I nGever follow thrDough.
I say too Emmuch,
And dGon't know when to leDave.
In case you're looEmking,
That's my hAmeart there on my slDeeve.
AmEgo trips and stuEmpid slip ups,
CI'm a mess but
CThis is what you gEmet.
CThis is who I Amam.
CTake me now or leDsus4ave me

CSometimes I trip and fEmall

And if you're thiCnking about cAmhanging my diEmrection,

Don't mess with imperfection.
AmScratched and bruised,
EmA little used,
CBut baby I work fine.
AmYou might call me
EmDamaged goods,
CBut I'm one of a kind.
CMy hair's a wrDeck,
CNo I'm not peEmrfect
