[Verse]
        G                     
There's certain things you're s'posed to know

                                       Am
When you're a girl who grows up in the south

  G
I try to use my common sense,

                                 Am
But my foot always ends up in my mouth

       C
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of the whole town

          Bm
I'd fall down

            C              D
And my mama cried when she realized
[Chorus]
        G
I ain't pageant material

           Em
I'm always higher than my hair

                                          C
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace

                                                    D
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage

         G 
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial

            Em                           
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't

            Am             C       D              G 
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
[Verse]
               (G)
God bless the girls who smile and hug

                                          Am
When they're called out as a runner up on TV

  G
I wish I could, but I just can't

                                         Am
Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'

    C
And who's to say I'm a 9.5, or a 4.0 

                  Bm
If you don't even know me

            C                 D
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose and
[Chorus]
        G
I ain't pageant material

           Em
I'm always higher than my hair

                                          C
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace

                                                    D
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage

         G 
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial

            Em                           
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't

            Am             C       D              G 
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
[Instrumental] Em C D [Chorus]
        G
I ain't pageant material

         Em
The only crown is in my glass

                                            C
They won't be handin' me a sash, and that's okay, cause there's no way

                                      D
You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage

         G 
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial

            Em                           
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't

            Am             C       D              G 
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't

                Am             C       D              G 
Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
[Instrumental] Em C D G Em C D G
