Verse 1:

Erika:
       C       F       Em        F
If I'd like to have my breakfast hot
       Am                 C
Madame Carp will make me pay,
      C       F         Em     F
And I have to fetch the eggs myself
        Am               C
And the barn's a mile away.
     Dm
It's cold and wet
    E               Am            D
But still I get an omelette on my plate,
    C     F        Em      F
But in my head I'm back in bed
         Am              C
Snuggled up and sleeping late.

Spoken: G D A

Anneliese:
Really?

Erika:
Really. But it's all right. I mean, I'm used to it.
And you?

Anneliese:
Well...

Erika:
Well?

Verse 2:

Anneliese:
     C         F      Em       F
If I want some eggs I ring the bell
        Am                 C
And the maid comes running in,
        C           F    Em     F
And she serves them on a silver tray
        Am              C
And she brings a cookie tin.
    Dm               E
And while I eat, she rubs my feet
    Am                  D
And strolling minstrels play,
        C      F        Em    F
But I'd rather be in my library
        Am                C
Reading science books all day.

Interlude: Am G | Dsus4 D

Chorus:

Erika:
                C
I'm just like you

Anneliese:
(you are?)

Erika:
                 G
You're just like me
                  C                G
There's somewhere else we'd rather be
                 D
Somewhere that’s ours
               Em
Somewhere that dreams come true
    C                D
Yes I am a girl like you.
            C                 G
You'd never think that it was so
             C             G
But now I've met you and I know,
                D
It's plain as day
            Em
Sure as the sky is blue
C                G
I am a girl like you.

Spoken: D A C G D A C G G   G   G 

Anneliese:
So, you're a singer?

Erika:
No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary.
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium.

Anneliese:
I love Madame Carp's dresses!

Erika:
I made the one you're wearing.

Anneliese:
You made this? The design looks so complicated!

Erika:
Oh, it isn't really.

Verse:

Erika:
        C        F      Em       F
First I choose a fabric from the rack
      Am              C
And I pin the pattern down,
      C         F       Em        F
And I stitch it in the front and back
Am                  C
And it turns into a gown!

Anneliese:
Dm
I wear my gown
E
Without my crown
Am                  D
And dance around my room

Both:
     C      F       Em          F
And imagine life without the strife
      Am         C
Of an unfamiliar groom.

Spoken: G D D 

Anneliese:
But I'd never let my mother know.
I wouldn't want to disappoint her.

Erika:
I completely understand.

Chorus:

Anneliese:
                C
I'm just like you

Erika:
(I think that's true)
Anneliese:
                 G
You're just like me

Erika:
(Yes I can see)

Both:
           C         G
We take responsibility
Anneliese:
         D
We carry through

Erika:
(We carry through)

Both:
           Em      G
Do what we need to do.
    C                D
Yes I am a girl like you.

Anneliese:
              C
I'm just like you

Erika:
(I'm just like you)

Anneliese:
                 G
You're just like me

Erika:
(You're just like me)

Both:
               C          G
It's something anyone can see

Anneliese:
             D
a heart that beats

Erika:
(a heart that beats)
Both:
             Em         G
a voice that speaks the truth
    C           G
Yes I am a girl like you.
