INTRO C Em Dm7 x2
Verse 1
C Em Dm7 F
All my dreams I'm chasing after,
C Em Dm7 F
They don't need all this laughter
F Em
I take a grain of salt a stiff upper lip
Dm7 Am7
It's not their fault I'm not as hip
F Em Fm
Wake up kid, you know you're more than this
C Em Dm7 F
I'm the smartest person that I've ever met
C Em Dm7 F
So why do I allow myself to possibly forget
F Em Dm7 Am
There's so much I know how to do, so much more than all of you

The only thing I wish I knew was how to make them see
Dm G
the girl that I can be

C Dm F
I am, the coolest girl in the whole wide world
Am C F
I know it but can't show it, at all

I am, sick and tired of low, not higher
Am G D7
places, where I should belong
F Ab G C
It's about time I proved them wrong
Verse 2

though I rock 'em like nobody you've seen before
Chorus 2

That I am, the coolest girl
