note: unfortunately I can't find a decent recording of this song so my
transcription might be a little off in the bassline.


this is what the guitar plays thru the whole song:
   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &  1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
e|-----------------|----------------||
B|-1-------0---1---|-1------1---3---||
G|-0-------0---0---|-2------2---4---||
D|-2-------0---2---|-3------3---5---||
A|-3---------------|-3------3---5---||
E|---------3---3---|----------------||

the bass plays something like this during the verse:
   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &  1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G|-----------------|-----------------||
D|-----------------|-----------------||
A|-3-------2-------|-0---------------||
E|-------------3---|--------1---3----||

and something like this during the chorus:
   1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &  1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
G|-----------------|-----------------||

I wish I could tie you up in my shoes, make you feel unpretty too
I was told I was beautiful, but what does that mean to you?
Look into the mirror, who's inside there?
The one with the long hair
Same old me again today
My outsides look cool, my insides are blue
Everytime I think I'm through, it's because of you
I try different ways but it's all the same
At the end of the day, I have myself to blame
I'm just trippin'

You can buy your hair, if it won't grow.
You can fix your nose, if he says so.
You can buy all the make-up, that Mac can make.
But if you can't look inside you, find out who am I to
be in the position to make me feel so, damn unpretty.
Yeah. I'll make you feel unpretty too.

Never insecure until I met you.
Now I'm bein' stupid.
I used to be so cute to me
just a little bit skinny.
Why do I look to all these things
to keep you happy?
Maybe get rid of you, and then I'll get back to me.
My outsides look cool, my insides are blue.
Everytime I think I'm through, it's because of you
I try different ways but it's all the same.
At the end of the day,
I have myself to blame.
Can't believe I'm trippin'.

You can buy your hair, if it won't grow.
You can fix your nose, if he says so.
You can buy all the make-up, that Mac can make.
But if you can't look inside you,
find out who am I to be in the position to make me feel so, damn
unpretty.
You can buy your hair, if it won't grow.
And you can fix your nose, if he says so.
You can buy all the make-up, that Mac can make.
But if you can't look inside you, find out who am I to
be in the position to make me feel so, damn unpretty.
I'll make you feel unpretty too.
I'll make you feel unpretty.
