Em                     Bm             C                         Bb
I've been feeling lightheaded since I lost enough weight to fit back in my skin.
Em                Bm                        C                 D
Flower petals and feathers tether me to the ground, pound for pound.
Em                  Bm               C                       Bb
Take my tea with formaldehyde for my feminine side since the day that I died.

While I whittle my bones until I'm brittle, am I pretty now?
C                 D           G        D        Em
For some reason I find myself lost in what you think of me
    C               D                   G    D
And too confused to choose who I should be
 
And now you got me thinking-

I wish I could be a girl and that way
C                          G   G       D  D
You'd wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
G            Bm       C             D
Am I pretty enough to lie to? Oh-oh Oh!
G                   Bm
I wish I could be a girl and that way
C                          G   G       D  D
You'd wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
G               Bm              C             D
Just little old me in a big big world.  Oh-oh Oh!
C       D
I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Bm                     Em
Little old me in a big world

I've been feeling lighthearted since I gained enough weight back to c-c-c-c-cover my bones.
Em                  Bm                   C               D
I get dressed up in shadows one leg at a time - we're so alike!
Em                          Bm                         C                         Bb
But if the shoe fits then I won't try it on. You'll be walking out early but the show must go on.
      Em                         Bm                    C                      D
No, I know that I'm wrong, but I love how you're on my side when I cross that line.
            C                     D                     G     D         Em
It's been a point of contention between myself and this body that they stuck me in
    C                  D      G    D
The privilege of being born a man
 
And now you got me thinking-
 
Chorus:
G                   Bm
I wish I could be a girl and that way
C                          G   G       D  D
You'd wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend

Am I pretty enough to lie to? Oh-oh Oh!
G                   Bm
I wish I could be a girl and that way
C                          G   G       D  D
You'd wish I could be your girlfriend, boyfriend
G               Bm              C             D
Just little old me in a big big world.  Oh-oh Oh!

I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Bm                     Em
Little old me in a big world

Eating your prosthetic meets your anesthetic criteria, pathetic seeing you become acetic
       Bm                                                Em
Say my name like a slur but I've been called worse and I heard it all before, no this isn't a first
Bm                                Em
Let me be the void you fill with taxidermy fingerprints taxonomize our differences

Am I pretty enough to love back? No, not yet
A                   Dbm                   D
I wish I could be a girl, and really I'd prefer it if you would use
A A  E E
I/me/myself
A            Dbm                 D                E
