[Intro] Gm [Verse]
      Gm                                       D7
I'm a rock, I'm an island and I need no one to love me

       Gm                                    D7
At the end of the world, there'll be no man above me

       Eb                    Gm
I work the live long day, to do things my way

         Eb          D7               Gm
But if I had a girl, I would tell her this
[Verse]
          Gm                                        D7
Oh yeah, "no" means "no", but your skirt comes into question

         Gm                                 D7
That you ask for it, will be the whore's suggestion

       Eb                         Gm
You'll work the live long day, to take home half the pay

        Eb          D7               Gm   N.C.
So if I had a girl, I would tell her this
[Chorus]
             Gm
You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster

      Eb
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master

      Cm                                  D7
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone

         Gm
Cos' you go to work and you raise the babies

        Eb
And you work some more, now listen ladies

       Cm                      D7          Gm
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
[Interlude] Gm [Verse]
         Gm                                         D7
Well you go to school and they tell you that you're equal

           Gm                                      D7
But in the big wide world that just means half the people

    Eb                                      Gm
And one thing you don't see, there ain't no dicks on page three

          Eb           D7                Gm
So if you have a girl, please remind her this
[Chorus]
              Gm
You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster

      Eb
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master

      Cm                                  D7
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone

         Gm
Cos' you go to work and you raise the babies

        Eb
And you work some more, now listen ladies

       Cm                      D7          Gm
If you think we're done, we've only just begun

       Eb                      D7          Gm
If you think we're done, we've only just begun

           Eb                      D7          Gm
And if you think we're done, we've only just begun
[Bridge]
Gm
  We've only got started
We've only got started We've only got started So far to go, so far to go [Coda]
Eb                                    D7
  And if I wear my skirt short, don't mean I don't have a brain

         Eb                                   D7
  And if cover myself from head to toe, don't mean that I'm in chains

  Eb                           D7
  I don't have to hate men, to know that life ain't fair

        Eb                                 D7
  Now I see how far we've got to go, but I know, I know, I know... 

             Gm
  I will get there
