[Verse 1]
C#m G#m
I saw a girl with hips like mine -
A E C#m G#m
She was proper online famous.
A
Why can't that be me?
C#m G#m
I saw a girl with hair like mine -
A E C#m G#m
Ten million people loved her.
A
Why can't that be me?
C#m G#m6
I saw a girl not that bright -
A Esus4
People listen when she speaks;
C#m G#m6
She's got the world, and here am I,
E Aadd2
Wondering why can't that be... me?
[Chorus 1]
Aadd2
Everyone knows something that I don't,
E
Everyone can see that I'm a joke,
Aadd2
But underneath the joke there's me
E Badd4
And I don't get it.
Aadd2
They thought that I was crazy
G#m6
To think someone could love me,
F#m7
But then I moved to Sydney
C#m Dsus2+#4 B7
Became Mariel and Brice... kissed me.
[Bridge]
F#m E Badd4
When they say, "Fat," that's me.
F#m E Badd4
When they say, "Ugly," that's me, they mean me.
F#m E
When they say, "Weird, embarassing,
C#m G#m6
Stupid Muriel Heslop -
Am6 Fmaj7/C
Useless piece of nothing!"
Gsus4/D G
Me...
[Chorus 2]
F
Everyone knows something that I don't,
C
Everyone can see that I'm a joke,
F
But underneath the joke there's me...
C Gadd4
I don't get it.
Fadd2
Maybe I was crazy
Em6
To think someone could love me,
Dm7
But then I moved to Sydney,
Am Bbsus2+#4
Became Mariel and someone... kissed me.
G7
Mariel...
F/A Fmaj9/G F/A
Why can't that be me?
