Verse 1:
D
I went to New York
A Bm G
'cause a man in a suit told me, "You're gonna be a star"
D A Bm G
I said, "Yeah, I know," but it came out like, "What, who, me?"
D A Bm
I took a walk on the beach,’cause the guy doesn't like me back
G D
Even though I'm gonna be a star, guess I don't have it,
A Bm G
guess I don't have it after all
D A
But it's okay, 'cause my life is so exciting
Bm G
Every night is like a party, 'cause I bit the bullet
D
I'm finally watching Friends
A
"What took me so long?"
Bm G
I say to no one,'cause I'm alone all the time
D A
But now I'm never lonely, not since I met Joey
Bm G
But when I turn the lights off, Joey doesn't hold me
D A
And in my darkest moment, I wonder if I met him out at a bar
Bm G D
If he'd seen me, a perfect star, wanna take me home for that reason only
Chorus:
Em Bm
'Cause why else would you want me?
G D
I think I've got a xxxxed up face
Em Bm
And that thought used to haunt me
G D
'Til it fell in its sweet embrace
Em Bm
Now I don't sweat the acne
G D
It's a xxxxx, but it goes away
En
And who cares if I'm pretty?
Bm
I feel like I'm Phoebe
Verse 2:
G D
I feel like it totally works
Bbdim Bm G
When the blue in my skirt doesn't work with the blue in my top
D A Bm G
And if I tried to be her, it'd fall so flat, you’d feel badly
D A
And most of these days, I feel the dull ache
Bm Gbm G
But then I say, "Stop," and then I feel great
D
'Cause it could be worse, I know, I know
A Bm
Know it in the worst way
We rehearsed this, mm
D
Everything's okay
A
'Cause my life is so enticing
Bm
In the corner, eating icing
Gbm G D
It's a birthday party, these people aren't my friends
A
I'm thinking "So long," amidst their deep talk
Bm G
'Bout someone they didn't invite
D A
But I'd rather be lonely, counted out and homely
Bm G
I know that he'll need me once he gets to know me
D
Wonder when I'll meet him
A Bm G
Wonder if he's sitting there at a bar and if he likes 'em avant garde
D
Just what they told me
Chorus:
Em Bm
'Cause why else would you want me? -Want me, mm-
G D
I think I got a xxxxed up face -Oh-
Em Bm
And that thought used to haunt me -Haunt me-

'Til I fell in its sweet embrace -Uh-huh-

Now I don't sweat the acne -No, woah-
G D
It's a xxxxx, but it goes away -Oh-
Em
Who cares if I'm pretty?
Bm
I feel like I'm Phoebe
G D
I feel like a whole lot
Bridge:
Em Bm
No, I'm good, thanks for asking
G D
That'd be awesome, but no worries if not
Em Bm
Best believe I can hack it
G D
Check it out, I made it this far
Em Bm
Had to dig deep inside me
G D
'TiI I found what I was looking for
Em Bm
It was right there inside me -Ah-
G D
It was beautiful, beautiful, beautiful -Beautiful-
Chorus:
Em Bm
Why else would you want me? -Want me, want me-

I think I got a xxxxed up face -Gorgeous, amazing-

And that thought used to haunt me -Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful-

I feel like a whole lot
