  			(Em C G G) 4x 
I wanna paint my face and pretend that I am someone else 
Sometimes I get so fed up I don't even wanna look at myself 

    D                             C 
But people have problems that are worse than mine 
        D                                 C 
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time 
      D                                 C                  Em            C  G G 
And I hate the way you look at me and I have to say I wish I could start over 

(Em C G D) 4x 
I am slowly falling apart 
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start 
You might think it's easy being me 
You just stand still, look pretty 

(Em C G G) 4x 
Sometimes I find myself shaking in the middle of the night 
And when it hits me I can't even believe this is my life 

    D                             C 
But people have problems that are worse than mine 
        D                                 C 
I don't want you to think I'm complaining all the time 
      D                               C 
And I wish that everyone would go and shut their mouths 
        Em            C                G   G 
I'm not strong enough to deal with you 

(Am C G D) 4x 
I am slowly falling apart 
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start 
You might think it's easy being me 
You just stand still, look pretty 

(Am C G D) 4x 
I am slowly falling apart 
I wish you'd take a walk in my shoes for a start 
You might think it's easy being me 
You just stand still, look pretty
