Pretty’s on the Inside

Verse 1:
Eb                 Bb
I don't look like her
                   Cm
She's in all the magazines
           Ab
So much prettier than me
Eb                 Bb
You don't know it hurts
                 Cm
Staring at my iPhone screen
                 Ab
Watching others live their dream

Pre-chorus:
Bb                     Ab
But mama, she said to me

(Mama she said)
Bb                        Fm
One day my love, you'll see

Chorus:
                Eb
Pretty's on the inside
               Bb
See it in your own eyes
               Cm                    Ab
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
                Eb
Pretty's on the inside
                    Bb
But I can't tell my own mind
            Cm                         Ab
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
                      Eb  Bb
That pretty's on the inside
                Cm  Ab
Pretty's on the inside
                  Eb
Pretty's on the inside

Verse 1:
Eb               Bb
I don't like myself
                   Cm
But maybe it's all in my head
                  Ab
And I am not the words I've said
Eb                  Bb
These images they sell
              Cm
Maybe none of it is real
                     Ab
And I could love the way I feel

Pre-chorus:
        Bb                Ab
'Cause mama, she said to me

(Mama she said)
Bb                      Fm
One day I swear you'll see

Chorus:
                Eb
Pretty's on the inside
               Bb
See it in your own eyes
               Cm                    Ab
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
                Eb
Pretty's on the inside
                    Bb
But I can't tell my own mind
            Cm                         Ab
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
                      Eb  Bb
That pretty's on the inside
                Cm  Ab
Pretty's on the inside
                  Eb  Bb
Pretty's on the inside
                Cm  Ab
Pretty's on the inside

Bridge:
       Bb                 Ab
'Cause mama, she said to me
Bb                Ab
Don't live in jealousy
     Bb               Ab
And mama she said to me
        Bb          Fm Bb Ab
You'll see it eventually

Chorus:
                Eb
Pretty's on the inside
               Bb
See it in your own eyes
               Cm                    Ab
Look a little closer in the mirror tonight
                Eb
Pretty's on the inside
                    Bb
But I can't tell my own mind
            Cm                         Ab
Maybe if I look a little harder, I'll find
                      Eb  Bb
That pretty's on the inside
                Cm  Ab
Pretty's on the inside
                  Eb
Pretty's on the inside
                  Eb  Bb
Pretty's on the inside
                Cm  Ab
Pretty's on the inside
                Eb
Pretty's on the inside
