Alternative, maybe easier, version:
  • Transpose the chords 4 half steps down [ -4 ]
  • Put a capo on fret 4 to stay in the same key

Verse 1:
Gb         B              E                    Abm
  Doesn't seem to matter what I do, I'm always number two
        E
No one knows how hard I tried, oh
Gb         B              E                              Abm
I, I have feelings that I can't explain, they're drivin' me insane
        E
All my life been so polite but I'll sleep alone tonight

Chorus:
       Db  Ab   Bbm                          Db
'Cause I'm just Ken, anywhere else I'd be a ten
                     Ab             Gb                Db
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
Db  Ab    Bbm                                 Db
I'm just  Ken, where I see love, she sees a friend
                              Ab           Gb                Db
What will it take for her to see the man behind the tan and fight for me?

Post-Chorus:
   Ab B Gb
   Ab B Gb
   Ab B Gb Db

Verse 2:
Ab          B                      Gb
   I wanna know what it’s like to love
           Ab
To be the real thing
          B              Gb                 Ab
Is it a crime? Am I not hot when I'm in my feelings?
           B              Gb            Db
And is my moment finally here or am I dreaming?
Db      Abm
I'm no dreamer

Bridge -x4-: Em D

Em                            A Am
   Can you feel the Ken-ergy?
Em                            A Am
Feels so real, my Ken-ergy
Em                            A Am

Feels so real, my Ken-ergy

                     Bb             Ab                Eb
Is it my destiny to live and die a life of blonde fragility?
Eb  Bb   Cm                                 Eb
I'm just  Ken, where I see love, she sees a friend
                              Bb            Ab               Eb
What will it take for her to see the man behind the ten and fight for me?

Outro:
Eb  Bb   Cm                         Eb
I'm just  Ken and I'm enough and I'm great at doing stuff
     Bb            Ab                 Eb
So, hey, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
Eb  Bb   Cm                          Eb
My name's Ken -And so am I-, put that manly hand in mine
     Bb                   Ab                 Eb
So, hey, world, check me out, yeah, I'm just Ken
