Playing Nancy

CHORD* means one strum







                 G*

Well here I am again

                 D*

The pretty but naïve one

    A*

The perky-breasted, giggly one night stand

              G*

Is it my destiny to be

          D*

A brief diversion

       A*                            G*

Just a detour on the journey of some man?





                       D

I'm not really one for askin'

                            A

I'll play whatever role I'm cast in

                        D

Will smile with perfect teeth

                 A

And grimace underneath

                     G

I learned back in my teens

                       D

There's no point in protestin'

                          G

If you look good in tight jeans

                             A

That's what they'll want you dressed in

                              G

Once you're known for low-cut tops

                    D

It's pretty hard to stop

                        G

It isn't easy to break free

A*

                  D

I don't really remember

                   A

I guess I chose to be here

                 D

I wasn't quite aware that

                       A

I was put here to be stared at

                           G

But this world I chose to live in

                 D

Is mostly run by men

                         G

So you take what you are given

                        A

Just to feel the love again

                           G

So throughout the endless week

                     D

And all through the weekend

                  G

You will find me here

A*

                              D

And look, I know this person fits me

                          A

I'm pretty good at being pretty

                            D

And I'm grateful, I mean to say

                              A

There are worse roles you can play

                     G

And I'd rather be up dancing

                   D

Than sat against a wall

                   G

It's better to be leered at

                    A

Than not desired at all

                     G

Who am I to dream of better

                      D          G        A

To dream that one day     I will be

                            G

Something more than just collateral

                  D

In someone else's battle

        G

I will be

A*

      Something more than Nancy
