I know what you tell yourself, tell yourself.  I know what you tell yourself
       Am        D
You tell yourself
                     C                         Em     Am             D
 Look in the mirror, look in the mirror what does it show?

 I hear you counting. I know you're adding, adding up the score.

 I know, oh yes I know

 Ever since Eden we're built for pleasing everyone knows 
                         C                       Em        Am    D        
 And ever since Adam cracked his ribs and let us go I know
                 C         Em       Am       D
 Oh yes I know 

Chorus
  Em                             D                           C 
 Who taught you how to lie so well and to believe in each and every word you 
  G       Em                                   D  
say?  Who told you that nothing about you is alright
                  C                                                    G
 It's just no use, it's just no good you'll never be O.K.? 
    D                                  Dm                                                  Am
 Well I know, I know that wrong's been done to you "It's such a tough 
                                   G      Dm                               Am   
world," that's what you say.  Well I know, I know it's easier said than done 
                   C                G                                                    C   Em Am D
 But that's enough girl, give it away give it, give it, give it all away. 
   C                                       Em      Am                         D
 Tell yourself that you're not pretty, look at you, you're beautiful. 
 C                        Em               Am                         D
 Tell yourself that no one sees Plain Jane invisible to me, just tell yourself. 
  C                           Em                    Am                                D
 Tell yourself you'll never be like the anorexic beauties in the magazines. 

   C                                 Em                Am                        D
 Just a bargain basement Barbie doll, no belle du jour, no femme fatale

Just tell yourself. 



  C                             Em                            Am                                D
 Tell yourself there's nothing worse than the pain inside and the way it hurts 
C                        Em                         Am         D               C            Em 
tell yourself it's nothing new cause everybody feels it too, they feel it too. 
Am D
   C                              Em                  Am                  D                C
