Intro: F Am Em
 
Verse:
F
  Too little girls
Am
  with their heads up in the clouds
Em
  Dreamin' like the rest
 
Didn't stick out from the crowd
F
  But between themselves
Am
  They knew that they were different
Em
  But they pushed it down
(nc)
  Cause nobody would even listen
 
Pre-chorus:
      F
Their parents always saying
 
Girl when you grow up
             Em
You're gonna find a nice man
 
Make sure you're pretty enough
          Em
You'll be living a life like Barbie and Ken
 
C'mon suck it up and forget this nonsense
 
Chorus:
          F
What it's not Ken but Barbie
               Am
Why should she have to say sorry?
           Em
Tell me do you even listen?
 
To all the dumb xxxx you're slippin'?
 

            F
We can love who we want to
                Am
Don't say she's not supposed to
           Em
If it's not Ken but Barbie
 
She doesn't have to say sorry
 
Post-chorus:
           F
No, not to you
 
Not to me
       Am
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
       Em
Not to you
 
Not to me
                           (nc)
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
 
Verse 2:
F
  Hidin' how she feels
Am
  Sayin' things like Love ain't real
Em
  All just to conceal
 
That she's not society's ideal
F
  Hearin' what they say
Am
  G#out those who feel the same way
Em
  She's really not okay
(nc)
  Tells herself it's just a phase
 
Pre-chorus:
    F
Her parents always sayin'
 
Girl when will you see
          Am
You don't know what you want
 
Trust us we know what you need
          Em
You'll be with your own Ken, oh so happily
 
It's no way to live; with another Barbie
 
Chorus:
                 F
But what if it's not Ken but Barbie
               Am
Why should she have to say sorry?
           Em
Tell me do you even listen?
 
To all the dumb xxxx you're slippin'?
 

            F
We can love who we want to
                Am
Don't say she's not supposed to
            Em
If it's not Ken but Barbie
 
She doesn't have to say sorry
 
Post-chorus:
           F
No, not to you
 
Not to me
       Am
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
       Em
Not to you
 
Not to me
                          (nc)
Not to anyone, anyone, anyo-o-one

Outro:
                 F
She never wanted Ken but Barbie
               Am
She never ever has to say sorry
           Em
And nobody is gonna listen
 
To all the dumb xxxx you're slippin'
 

            F
We can love who we want to

Don't say she's not supposed to
                  Em
It'll never be Ken but always Barbie
 
And she doesn't have to say sorry
