Chords

[Verse 1]
    Eb
The world, it needs an anthem

    Bb
For all of womankind

    Cm
A song to fight, a song to right

    Ab
The wrongs of all of time

   Eb
So we put pen to paper

    Bb
And wrote all through the night

  Cm
A gorgeous ode to feminism

 Ab
Well within our sights
[Pre-Chorus]
    Cm             Bb
But this is pretty nuanced stuff

    Ab                             Bb
And putting it all in one song was tough
N.C. And that's why... [Chorus]
Eb            Bb
This is not a feminist song

   Ab
We tried real hard, but it took too long

Eb            Bb
This is not a feminist song

      Ab
Cause we were scared we would do it wrong

        Cm            Bb
We know women need an anthem

  Ab
A song to call their own

    Cm                   Bb
But we didn't write that anthem

        Eb
We went home
[Verse 2]
      Eb
Every woman has a struggle

    Bb
And every struggle's real

         Cm
But just try and write a song that captures

Ab
Every woman's deal

      Eb
So instead of writing lyrics

          Bb
Here's us running in the sand

    Cm
And here's a bunch of lens flares

       Ab
And an old woman's hands

Eb
Not to call a woman old

    Bb
Or judge a woman's hands

    Cm
We know a woman shouldn't be

  Ab
Reduced to just her hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Cm               Bb
We stepped right into that trap

Ab                            Bb
It's so hard to navigate this crap
N.C. And that's why... [Chorus]
Eb            Bb
This is not a feminist song

    Ab
So technically it can't be wrong

Eb            Bb
This is not a feminist song

  Ab
I feel like we've been singing so long

     Cm             Bb
Our ancestors, they fought for us

   Ab
So they deserve a song

    Cm               Bb
But this is not that song

         Eb
So move along
[Bridge]
    Cm                    Bb
Now here's some powerful footage

      Ab
For a song we did not write

       Cm         Bb
It's Malala, Maya Angelou

    Ab
And Madeleine Albright

    Cm   Bb
And RBG, she taught me

     Ab
That women can be strong

         Cm             Bb
And that women have the right to choose

   Bb
To bail on this whole song, oh, yeah
N.C. And that's why [Verse 3] Eb/N.C. Bb/N.C. This is not a feminist song Ab/N.C. We're just women singing a song Eb/N.C. Bb/N.C. But doesn't that make it a feminist song? Ab/N.C. I guess this was feminist all along [Chorus]
F         C
This is a feminist song

Bb
Tweet it, hashtag #FEMINISTSONG

F                         C
Where are the men in this feminist song?

   Bb
An excellent point, now move along.

      Dm                C
Cause now it's time for you at home

   Bb
To weigh in on this song

    Dm            C              F
And tell us if we handled it all wrong

     Dm               C             F
This tough and tricky landmine of a song.
