Artist: Alicia Keys
[CHORUS]
When a[C] girl can't be he[Bb]rself no more
I just wanna [F]cry, I just wanna c[G]ry for the world
When a g[C]irl can't be hers[Bb]elf no more
I just wanna [F]cry, I just wanna c[G]ry for the world (Repeat)
[VERSE 1]
[Cm]In the morning from the [Bb]minute that I [Gm]wake [Cm]up
What if I don't want to [Bb]put on all that [Gm]make [Cm]up?
Who says I must conc[Bb]eal what I'm m[Gm]ade [Cm]of?
Maybe all this Maybelline is c[Bb]overing my [Gm]self-esteem
[Cm]Whose job is it to s[Bb]traighten out my c[Gm]urv[Cm]es?
I'm so tired of that im[Bb]age, that's my w[Gm]ord[Cm]
What if today I don't [Bb]feel like putting h[Gm]eels [Cm]on?
Who are you to criticize when b[Bb]eauty's only [Gm]in the[Cm] eyes...
Of the [Bb]beh[Gm]older,[Cm] so be[Bb]hold [Gm]her
[Cm]Sing, sing, sing, [Bb]why, o[Gm]h, o[Cm]h, o[Bb]h, [Gm]why, oh?
[CHORUS]
When a[C] girl can't be he[Bb]rself no more
I just wanna [F]cry, I just wanna c[G]ry for the world
When a g[C]irl can't be hers[Bb]elf no more
I just wanna [F]cry, I just wanna c[G]ry for the world (Repeat)
[VERSE 2]
[Cm]Uh, uh, I'm so se[Bb]cure with inse[Gm]curities [Cm]
Why is being uniq[Bb]ue such an imp[Gm]urity? [Cm]
Why are the numbers on the sc[Bb]ale like a [Gm]God to me?
[Cm]All of these indifferences are [Bb]based on our ap[Gm]pearanc[Cm]es
We pl[Bb]ease to be ap[Gm]peased
[Cm]The truest pleasure is the [Bb]fact that we can b[Gm]reathe
[Cm]Think it into existence, d[Bb]o it, then [Gm]achieve
[Cm]A fairy tale reality, b[Bb]eauty was with a [Gm]beast
[Cm]Uh, uh, I'm the i[Bb]mage of your ref[Gm]lection
[Cm]Eh, eh, you're the i[Bb]mage of my ref[Gm]lection
[Cm]Sing, sing, sing, [Bb]why, oh, oh, [Gm]oh, o[Cm]h, oh[Bb] , oh w[Gm]hy, oh?
