[Verse]
C C/B Am D
Tonya Harding, my star
F C
Well this world is a cold one
G D7
But it takes one to know one
F C G
And God only knows what you are
C C/B Am D
Just some Portland white trash
F C
You confronted your sorrow
G D7
Like there was no tomorrow
F C G
While the rest of the world only laughed
C C/B Am D
Triple axel on high
F C
A delightful disaster
G D7
You jumped farther and faster
F C G
You were always so full of surprises
C C/B Am D
Are your laces untied?
F C
What’s the frown on your face for?
G D7
And just what are the skates for now?
F C G
Tell me which is your good side?
C C/B Am D
Are you lonely at night?
F C
Do you miss all the glory
G D7
And the mythical story
F C G
Of the Olympian life?

[Verse]
C C/B Am D
Yamaguchi in red
F C
She had high rise and roses
G D7
And red-carpet poses
F C G
And her outfit was splendid
C C/B Am D
Nancy Kerrigan’s charm
F C
Well she took quite a beating
G D7
So you’re not above cheating
F C G
Can you blame her for crying?
C C/B Am D
Tonya, you were the brightest
F C
Yeah you rose from the ashes
G D7
And survived all the crashes
F C G
Wiping the blood from your white tights
C C/B Am D
Has the world had its fun?
F C
Yeah they’ll make such a hassle
G D7
And they’ll build you a castle
F C G
Then destroy it when they’re done
C C/B Am D
Tonya Harding, my friend
F C
Well this world is a bitch, girl
G D7
Don’t end up in a ditch, girl
F C G
I’ll be watching you close to the end
C C/B Am D
So fight on as you are
F C
My American princess
G D7
May God bless you with incense
F C G
You’re my shining American star
F C Am D7
You're my shining American star
F G C
You're my shining American star
