Tell Yourself Natalie Merchant
[C] [Em] [Am] [D]
I know what [C]you tell your[Em]self, [Am]tell your[D]self.
I know what [C]you tell your[Em]self, [Am]you tell your[D]self.
[Am]Look in the mirror, look in the mirror what does it [G]show? [G]
[Am]I hear you counting I know you're adding. adding up the [G]score.
I [D]know, oh yes I [Am]know [Am] [C]
what [C]you tell yourself, [Em] [Am] tell your[D]self.
I know what [C]you tell your[Em]self, [Am]you tell your[D]self.
[Am]Ever since Eden we're built for pleasing everyone [G]knows [G]
[Am]And ever since Adam cracked his ribs and let us [G]go
I [D]know, oh yes I [Am]know [C]
what [C]you tell yourself, [Em] [Am] tell your[D]self.
I know what [C]you tell your[Em]self, [Am]you tell your[D]self.
I know what [C]you tell your[Em]self, [Am]you tell your[D]self.
[Em]Who taught you how to [D]lie so well
And to be[C]lieve in [G]each and every word you [D]say?
[Em]Who told you that nothing about [D]you is alright
It's just no [C]use, it's just no [G]good you'll never be [D]O.K.?
[Dm]Well I know, I know that [Am]wrong's been done to you
"It's such a [C]tough world," that's what you [G]say [G]
[Dm]And I know, I know it's [Am]easier said than done
But that's [C]enough girl, give it [G]away,
[F]Give it, give it [C]all away [Em] [Am] [D]
[C]Tell yourself that [Em]you're not pretty
[Am]Look at you, you're [D]beautiful.
[C]Tell yourself that [Em]no one sees
[Am]Plain Jane [D]invisible me,
just [C]tell yourself [Em] , [Am] tell your[D]self
[C]Tell yourself you'll [Em]never be
Like the [Am]anorexic beauties in the [D]magazines
[C]Like a bargain basement [Em]Barbie Doll
No [Am]belle de jour, no [D]femme fatale
just [C]tell yourself [Em] , [Am] tell your[D]self
[C]Tell yourself there's [Em]nothing worse
[Am]Than the pain inside and the [D]way it hurts
[C]But tell yourself it's [Em]nothing new
[Am]Cause everybody feels it [D]too
[C] They feel it too [Em] [Am] [D]
[C]And there's just no [Em]getting 'round
[Am]The fact that you're thir[D]teen right [C]now
