G*
Well here I am again
                 D*
The pretty but naïve one
    A*
The perky-breasted, giggly one night stand
              G*
Is it my destiny to be
          D*
A brief diversion
       A*                            G*
Just a detour on the journey of some man?


                       D
I'm not really one for askin'
                            A
I'll play whatever role I'm cast in
                        D
Will smile with perfect teeth
                 A
And grimace underneath
                     G
I learned back in my teens
                       D
There's no point in protestin'
                          G
If you look good in tight jeans
                             A
That's what they'll want you dressed in
                              G
Once you're known for low-cut tops
                    D
It's pretty hard to stop
                        G
It isn't easy to break free
A*
    Of playing Nancy

                  D
I don't really remember
                   A
I guess I chose to be here
                 D
I wasn't quite aware that
                       A
I was put here to be stared at
                           G
But this world I chose to live in
                 D
Is mostly run by men
                         G
So you take what you are given
                        A
Just to feel the love again
                           G
So throughout the endless week
                     D
And all through the weekend
                  G
You will find me here
A*

                              D
And look, I know this person fits me
                          A
I'm pretty good at being pretty
                            D
And I'm grateful, I mean to say
                              A
There are worse roles you can play
                     G
And I'd rather be up dancing
                   D
Than sat against a wall
                   G
It's better to be leered at
                    A
Than not desired at all
                     G
Who am I to dream of better
                      D          G        A
To dream that one day     I will be
                            G
Something more than just collateral
                  D
In someone else's battle
        G
I will be
A*
      Something more than Nancy
