Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
C G Am
The gig is up, the battle’s done
G F
The kings and queens put down their crowns
C F
The war is over now
G C
Why am I still empty somehow?
G Am
The lights are downed, they take a bow
G F
Standing ovations from the crowd
C F
I worked so hard for this
G
But still, do I deserve it?
C G Am G
And they all say it feels so good to reach your goals someday
F C F G
Eyes on the prize, but I still feel like maybe I'm just in the way
[Chorus]
C G
I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
Am G
Didn't know what I wanted until the tenth grade
F C
So what am I here for? What do I say?
F G
I'm not your valedictorian
C G
I see it written all over their faces
Am G
They know I'm probably taking someone else's space
F C
So what am I here for? What do I say?
F G C
I'm not your valedictorian
[Verse 2]
G Am
They call my name, you squeeze my hand
G F
But I'm still that girl who didn't understand
C
Asking questions in the classroom
F G G
This cap and gown feels more like a costume
G Am
My high school counselor once told me
G F
Some things are just out of your league
C
“You should stick to singing
F G
'Cause they build robots and you can't compete”
[Chorus]
C G
I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
Am G
Didn't know what I wanted until the tenth grade
F C
So what am I here for? What do I say?
F G
I'm not your valedictorian
C G
I see it written all over their faces
Am G
They know I’m probably taking someone else's space
F C
So what am I here for? What do I say?
F G
I'm not your valedictorian
[Bridge]
C G
I wanna thank my mom and dad
Am G
I wanna thank the best friends I ever had
F C
I wanna thank my sister, 'cause she was always there for me
F G
To them, I'm always a valedictorian
[Chorus]
C G
I'm just a girl, lost and afraid
Am G
Didn't know what I wanted until the tenth grade
F C
So what am I here for? What do I say?
F G
I'm not your valedictorian
C G
I see it written all over their faces
Am G
They know I’m probably taking someone else's space
F C
So what am I here for? What do I say?
F G
I'm not your valedictorian
