C      Em         Dm7     F 
All my dreams I'm chasing after, 

C          Em   Dm7       F 
They don't need all this laughter          

          F               Em 
I take a grain of salt a stiff upper lip      

     Dm7                 Am7 
It's not their fault I'm not as hip 

F            Em                        Fm 
Wake up kid, you know you're more than this   

C                Em     Dm7             F 
I'm the smartest person that I've ever met 

C           Em              Dm7          F 
So why do I allow myself to possibly forget 

F                      Em         Dm7               Am 
There's so much I know how to do, so much more than all of you 

F                Em               D7              
The only thing I wish I knew was how to make them see 

Dm                  G 
the girl that I can be    
Chorus
C        Dm                   F 
I am, the coolest girl in the whole wide world 

Am               C              F 
I know it but can't show it, at all 

Am-C  F                 Dm 
I am, sick and tired of low, not higher 

Am            G          D7 
places, where I should belong 

F                 Ab     G      C 
It's about time I proved them wrong   
Verse 2
Am               Am/Ab* 
Give me a shot to show what I've got 

      Am 
I'm a hell of a whole lot more 

           D7 
than this frizzy hair, these frumpy clothes I wear 

         G                            A 
though I rock 'em like nobody you've seen before   
Chorus 2

'Cause I am, the coolest girl in the whole wide world

Bm            D     G 
I know it, below it all

I am, done with losing, on with choosing

The coolest girl on the face of the planet,

The coolest bitch on earth, god damn it 

    G                   F#m           Bm    A 
The coolest chick you've ever seen or heard 

   G              F#m 
So you can try to bring me down, 

Bm                E 
sorry guys, I'm stickin' around 

      G                A 
I've thought about it, and I've found   

     G A       G   A    D  Em**  Bb5  C  D
