[Verse]

 C                  Dm
Mama said, you're a pretty girl
 Am                      F
What's in your head, it doesn't matter
 C                  Dm
Brush your hair, fix your teeth
 Am                F
What you wear is all that matters
 C      Dm           Am            F
Just another stage, pageant the pain away
 C               Dm
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Am              F
Without falling down, down


[Chorus]

C         Dm      Am           F
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
C              Dm                    Am                 F
Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts
C         Dm      Am            F
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
C                     Dm                                Am                   
Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
             F                               C
It's the soul that needs the surgery

Just another stage
             G      C
Pageant the pain away

Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
             F                               C
It's the soul that needs the surgery


[Bridge]

Dm
Aint no doctor or pill that can take the pain away
Am
The pain's inside and nobody frees you from your body.
                                             G                                 Dm
It's the soul, it's the soul that needs surgery. its the soul that needs surgery
Dm
Plastic smiles and denial can only take you so far
Am
And you break when the fake facade leaves you in the dark
F
You left a shattered mirror 
                     G
And the shards of a beautiful girl


[Chorus]

C         Dm      Am           F
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
C              Dm                    Am                 F
Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts
C         Dm      Am            F
Pretty hurts, shine the light on whatever's worse
C                     Dm                                Am                   
Trying to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
             F                               C
It's the soul that needs the surgery


[Outro]

              C                Dm
When you're alone all by yourself
                Am       G
When your lyin in your bed 
             C                  Dm          Am             G    
Reflection stares right into you, are you happy with yourself? 
             C           Dm          Am                      G
It's just away to masquerade, the illusion has been changed 
G                       C     Dm
Are you happy with yourself?
Dm                        Am
Are you happy with yourself?
        C
