Now You Know chords and lyrics - ICON FOR HIRE

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]Seem like everywhere I go
[C]Everybody wanna know
[G]What's it like to be a girl
in the music [F]world?
[Em]Oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
The scene is [Am]so sexist, believe me I get it
We'd probably sell more records
If I flaunted my ass and chest, but forget it
I work like one of the boys,
and I'm as true as they get
But I'm a lady through and [C]through,
like [Em]give me some cred[Am]it

[Verse 3]
I knew I'd regret it if I tried
to blend in and pretend
Be something other than I am
Like have you noticed I'm a woman?
Didn't come to downplay it, or to
play it up either
And I'm not [F]trying pick a [C]fight
or be [Em]nobody's leader

[Verse 4]
But it [Am]feels like everybody's
just a little too interested
In the fact that females can
indeed make music
Our [F]in terviews, our bios,
they [Am]all make it a point
"Female Fronted Band,
from Decatur, Illinois"

[Verse 5]
And just [Am]once
I'd like to see some other band's resume
go out of their way to say
They're fronted by a male, ok?
And while we're on it, let me say
Women don't all sound the same
Who gave us the idea that "female
fronted" is a genre anyway?

[Verse 6]
Seem like everywhere [C]I go,
everybody wanna know
[G]What's it like to be a girl,
in the music [F]world?
[Em]Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Am]Wanna make it disappear,
[Dm]tell 'em what they wanna hear
If [C]truth ain't [G]pretty,
will you [C]all stay with me
Will you [G]love me, love me [Em]ugly?

[Verse 7]
And I [Em]know it's not [Am]fair,
and I can't complain
'Cause with girl in our band,
people don't look away
But you know what,
it feels like they look just a little too long
Stare me up and down, forget
to listen to the song

[Verse 8]
I take the [Am]stage,
and before I even open my mouth
The audience assumes that they
got us all figured out
"Oh your band's got a chick,
must be some kinda trick"
"There's no [F]way she got this far without
suck[Em]ing somebody's"

[Verse 9]
Did you really [Am]think that's
how it works?
I'm not fucking eye candy
I'm here to do my job,
I'll be the last man standing
Boys in crowd asking, for me to flash them
Well [F]here you go, news flash
[Em]You're ignorant, and that's that

[Verse 10]
[Am]I bet you'd never say that
to your little sister
The media's got you all jacked up,
little mister
'Cause girls in my position
can perpetuate the cycle
Walking a [F]tightrope,
don't know [Am]which way [Em]to go[Am]
[F]Hypersexualize, or downplay your femin[Dm]inity

[Verse 11]
[Am]
Dress like the dudes,
or pray to God that you're pretty
Are you kidding me? And I don't
even [F]know who's to blame
[Am]Beauty sells,
I buy it too, I'm trying to sell it back it you

[Verse 12]
Seem like everywhere [C]I go,
everybody wanna know
[G]What's it like to be a girl
in the music [F]world?
[Em]Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Am]Wanna make it disappear,
[Dm]tell 'em what they wanna hear
If [C]truth ain't pretty,
will you all stay with me
Will you [G]love me, love [Dm]me ug[Em]ly?

[Verse 13]
So [Am]tell me, what's a woman to do- no,
scratch [C]that
Tell me what's a human being
to with the fact [G]that
What gets us ahead holds us back more
[F]Is a level playing field [Em]too much to ask for?

[Verse 14]
And I [Am]know that by saying
it, I'm bringing attention
To an [C]issue that might be
better left unmentioned
But [G]someone's gotta say
it, gotta call out the scene
The scene is [F]obscene,
my sanity's s[Em]plit at the seams

[Verse 15]
So to [Am]all of ya'll making this
just about ass and tits
Here to set the record straight,
it don't gotta be this way
We can change the game,
rearrange the way to fame
And [F]make a bigger deal about the
[Em]tal ent than the face

[Verse 16]
See I got [Am]little girls watching me,
wanting to be like me
I wanna show them that they don't
gotta be like me
They can do their own thing,
they can rewrite the rules
[F]They can get respect
without [Em]acting like fools
So lets not [Am]make it harder

[Verse 17]
[Am]
than it has to be
[F]I'll keep [Am]making music,
you stop asking me
What's it like to be a girl in the
entertainment world?

[Verse 18]
'Cause now you know
[Am]
Seem like everywhere I go,
[C]everybody wanna know
[G]What's it like to be a girl,
in the music [F]world?
[Em]Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Am]Wanna make it disappear,
[Dm]tell 'em what they wanna hear
If [C]truth ain't pretty,
will you all stay with me
Will you [Dm]love me, love me [Em]ugly?

[Verse 19]
[Am]Seem like everywhere I go,
[C]everybody wanna know
[G]What's it like to be a girl,
in the music [F]world?
[Em]Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Am]Wanna make it disappear,
[Dm]tell 'em what they wanna hear
If [C]truth ain't pretty. will you
all stay with me
Will you [Dm]love me, love me [Em]ugly?
