...C......................Am7.................G....................F  
If I could do the splits I would do them all the time,
..........C....................Am7.....................G#..G*
To remind me that I could be just like Barbie,
Dm................................Dmmaj7.................................
Cinderella settle down, rushing up in glamour gowns,
.......Dm7.......................................
The men who have it all and more
....F.......................G.........
A modern car that I adore,
..C.............................Am7  
Smiling through the night,
.............G..........................F......
A little flash of green and white,
.....C.....................Am7..............A7  
Reflecting the perfection of the world,
...............Dm.....................Fm.......
Give her sisters, give her brothers,
.............C............C/B......Am7  
But compared to me and others,
..........F.....................G#.......G*.. C.........C/B.........Am7.........G..........G#.........G*
She'll always be the mother as girl
C..................Am7...............G......................F  
Every single day, there's a million parts to play,
..........C............Am7................G#..G*
There isn't any time for being lonely,
Dm.................................Dmmaj7.................................
Going up in aeroplanes, pulling back on “pony?” rains,
Dm7..................................................F....................G................
Making sure that what she wears is looking super like her hair,
........C.................Am7..........G.......................F....
The emptiness inside, isn't strong enough to hide,
................C.....................Am7..............A7.....
That her features are too pretty for her pearls,
...............Dm.....................Fm.......
Give her sisters, give her brothers,
.............C............C/B......Am7  
But compared to me and others,
..........F.....................G#.......G*.. C.........
She'll always be the mother as girl
..........................C#..........................
Oh! Though it's heaven to touch her,
.............................................C......
She's just like a soldier, she loves,
.......................C#...........................
And then she sees you grow older,
.....................................
And no longer hold her,
.......G#......
She knows,
...............Dm.....................Fm.......
Give her sisters, give her brothers,
.............C............C/B......Am7  
But compared to me and others,
..........F.....................G#.......G*.. C.........
She'll always be the mother as girl
............Dm...........Fm....
Oh our history of lovers,
