My Song (Lyrics and Chords)

Intro: G D Em C
Verse 1: G D C C (x4)
G        D            C     C
Mirror on the wall
G              D               C     C
Show me what you see
G                D              C     C
A small girl standing tall
G                 D               C     C
Or a soldier roaming free
Verse 2: G D C C (x4)
G                   D           C     C
When all you feel is pity
G             D          C     C
Watching as we try
G            D               C     C
To make ourselves look pretty
G               D                C     C
Without ever asking why

Chorus: G D Em C
G
I’m done with all the makeup
D
It meant so much I thought
Em
But I can’t keep dressing up
C
Trying to be someone I’m not
Verse 3: G D C C (x4)
G          D           C     C
I see my reflection
G                         D           C     C
Through the window’s glass
G               D                     C     C
But I'm not looking for perfection
G                   D           C     C
I left the old me in the past

Chorus: G D Em C
I’m done with trying to please myself
G
That other girl is gone
D
Putting that dress back on the shelf
Em
‘Cause I'm wearing what I want
C
Chorus: G D Em C
I’m done with all the makeup
G
It meant so much I thought
D
But I can’t keep dressing up
Em
Trying to be someone I’m not
C
Outro: G D Em C
