CAPO 1
  EmI see a pDicture perfect world
  EmSeems like I cDan’t escape it
  EmEach turn the wrDiting on the wall
  EmTells me to fDace the music
  EmI can’t compDete although I try
  EmToo far belDow the surface
 EmBright lights are nDever what they seem
  EmYou’ve got to sDee in person
  EmI don’t know what they sDee when they look at me
 Bmor                  Em  D  
  I don’t care but they all see it differently
  EmI don’t know what they sDee when they look at me
 Bmor                Em  D  
  But I can hear them say
[CHORUS]
Go vEmogue for your life like you mDust be seen
PEmose like the pictures in the mDagazine
Yeah, bEmeauty is pain but the plDeasure’s free
BEmorn to be loved like a MDaybelline
  EmLook what the PhDotoshop made up
  EmNow shop the phDoto’s make up
  EmWe learn at sDuch an early age
  EmAdmire but dDon’t be jealous
  EmI don’t know what they sDee when they look at me
 Bmor                  Em  D  
  I don’t care but they all see it differently
  EmI don’t know what they sDee when they look at me
 Bmor                Em  D  
  But I can hear them say
[CHORUS x2]
I sEmaw a pretty girl by the sDide of the road
ThEmumb up in the air and a wDinter coat
I kEmnew that she was carrying a hDeavy load
I thEmought that I could get her where she wDanted to go
She lEmooked so good with a dDangerous style and
I lEmiked the way she talked with a mDagical smile
She said, "EmI could be a star if the plDanets align"
So I tEmook her on a ride to delDiver the shine
  EmI don’t know what they sDee when they look at me
 Bmor                  Em  D  
  I don’t care but they all see it differently
  EmI don’t know what they sDee when they look at me
 Bmor                Em   Aor D  
  But I can hear them say
[Chorus x2]
