Intro

Em G C D x2

Verse

I am not a pretty girl, that is not what I do
I ain't no damsel in distress and I don't need to be rescued, so
So put me down punk, wouldn't you prefer a maiden fair
Isn't there a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere  
I am not an angry girl but it seems like I've got everyone fooled
Every time I say something they find hard to hear they chalk it up to my anger and never to their own fear
And imagine you're a girl just trying to finally come clean
Knowing full well they'd prefer you were dirty and smiling
And I am sorry but I am not a maiden fair
And I am not a kitten stuck up a tree somewhere  

Interlude

Em G C D x2

Verse

And generally my generation wouldn't be caught dead working for the man
And generally I agree with them, trouble is you gotta have yourself an alternate plan
And I have earned my disillusionment, I have been working all of my life
And I am a patriot, I have been fighting the good fight
And what if there are no damsels in distress, what if I knew that and I called your bluff?
Don't you think every kitten figures out how to get down whether or not you ever show up
I am not a pretty girl
I don't want to be a pretty girl
I want to be more than a pretty girl
Ahhh, hey ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh

Outro

Ahhh, ahhh, hey ahhh ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, hey ahhh ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, hey ahhh ahhh
Ahhh, ahhh, hey ahhh ahhh
