[G][Am][Em][D]
[G][Am][Em][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]Mama said, you[Am]'re a pretty gir[Em]l
What's in your [D]head it doesn't mat[G]ter
Brush your [Am]hair, fix your [Em]teeth
What you [D]wear is all that matters

[Pre-chorus 1]
[G]Just anoth[Am]er sta[Em]ge
Pageant the [D]pain a[G]way
This time I'm [Am]gonna take the [Em]crown
Without falling down, [D]down, down

[Chorus 1]
[G]Pretty hur[Am]ts
[Em]We shine the light on whatever's[D] worst
[G]Perfection is a dis[Am]ease of a nat[Em]ion
Pretty hurts, [D]pretty hurts
[G]Pretty hur[Am]ts
[Em]We shine the light on whatever's[D] worst
[G]You tryna fix something,
but you [Am]can't fix what you [Em]can't see
It's the soul that [D]needs a surgery

[Verse 2]
[G]Blonder hai[Am]r, flat che[Em]st
TV [D]says bigger is bet[G]ter
South [Am]beach, sugar [Em]free
Vogue [D]says thinner is better

Pageant the [D]pain a[G]way
This time I'm [Am]gonna take the [Em]crown

We shine the light on whatev[D]er's worst
[G]You tryna fix something,
but you [Am]can't fix what you [Em]can't see

[Bridge 1]
It's the soul that needs a surgery
[Am]Ain't got no doctor or pill
that can take the pain away
[Em]The pain's inside and nobody
frees you from your body
[G]It's the soul, it's the soul
that needs surge[D]ry
(It's my soul that needs surgery)
[Am]Plastic smiles and denial
can only take you so far
[Em]Then you break when the fake facade
leaves you in the dark
[C]You left with shattered mirrors
and the shards of a [D]beautiful girl

[Chorus 3]
[G]Pretty hur[Am]ts
[Em]We shine the light
on whatev[D]er's worst (pretty [G]hurts)
Perfection is a [Am]disease of a [Em]nation
Pretty hurts, [D]pretty hurts
[G]Pretty hur[Am]ts
[Em]We shine the light on whatever's[D] worst
[G]You tryna fix something,
but you [Am]can't fix what you [Em]can't see
It's the soul that needs...

[Outro 1]
When you're a[G]lone all by yourself
[Am]And you're lying i[Em]n your bed (pretty hurts)
[D]Reflection sta[G]res right into you (pretty hurts)
[Am]Are you happy with[Em] yourself?
(Pretty hurts, [D]pretty hurts)
You stripped [G]away
the masquerade (pretty [Am]hurts)
The illusion has [Em]been shed (pretty [D]hurts)
Are you happy [G]with yourself? (Pretty [Am]hurts)
Are you happy [Em]with yourself?
(Pretty hurts, [D]pretty hurts)
[G]Yeah, yes (ah, ah, ah)
