Standard Tuning:

Intro: Bb5-BbM7 F Bb5-BbM7 F

Verse:
Bb5-BbM7 F
I saw a spider I didn’t scream,
Bb5-BbM7
‘Cause I can belch the alphabet,
F
Just double dog dare me,
Bb5-BbM7 F
And I chose guitar over ballet,
Bb5-BbM7 F
And I take these suckers down ‘cause they just get in my way.

Dm A Bb
The way you look at me,
G
Is kind of like a little sister,
Dm A Bb
Rubbed by your goodbyes,
G
And it leaves me nothing but blisters.

F A
So I don’t want to be just one of the boys,
Bb
One of the guys,
C# Bb
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
F A
I just want to be one of the girls,
Bb
Pretty in pearls,
C# Bb
Not one of the boys.

F

Verse:
So over the summer something changed,
I started reading Seventeen and shaving my legs,
And I studied Lolita religiously,
And I walked right into school and caught you staring at me.

‘Cause I know what you know,
But now you’re going to have to take a number,
It’s okay, maybe one day but not until you give me my diamond ring.

F A
‘Cause I don’t want to be one of the boys,
Bb
One of your guys,
C# Bb
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
F A
I just want to be a homecoming queen,
Bb
Pinup poster dream,
C# Bb F
Not one of the boys.

Bb A Dm G
I want to be a flower, not a dirty weed,
Bb A Dm G
I want to smell like roses, not a baseball team,
Bb A Dm G
And I swear maybe one day you’re going to want to, make out, make out, make out with me

F A
So I don’t want to be one of the boys,
Bb
One of the guys,
C# Bb
Give me a chance to prove to you tonight that,
F A
I just want to be one of the girls,
Bb
So pretty in pearls,
C# Bb
Not one of the boys.
F C# Bb
Oh, one of the guys.
F C# Bb F
Oh, one of the boys.
