Kacey Musgraves - Pageant Material

      [Verse]

        G                     
There's certain things you're s'posed to know
                                       Am
When you're a girl who grows up in the south
  G
I try to use my common sense,
                                 Am
But my foot always ends up in my mouth
       C
And if I had to walk a runway in high heels in front of the whole town
          Bm
I'd fall down
            C              D
And my mama cried when she realized



[Chorus]

        G
I ain't pageant material
           Em
I'm always higher than my hair
                                          C
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
                                                    D
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
         G 
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
            Em                           
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
            Am             C       D              G 
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't


[Verse]

               (G)
God bless the girls who smile and hug
                                          Am
When they're called out as a runner up on TV
  G
I wish I could, but I just can't
                                         Am
Wear a smile when a smile ain't what I'm feelin'
    C
And who's to say I'm a 9.5, or a 4.0 
                  Bm
If you don't even know me
            C                 D
Life ain't always roses and pantyhose and
 

[Chorus]

        G
I ain't pageant material
           Em
I'm always higher than my hair
                                          C
And it ain't that I don't care about world peace
                                                    D
But I don't see how I can fix it in a swimsuit on a stage
         G 
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
            Em                           
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
            Am             C       D              G 
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't


[Instrumental]

Em  C  D


[Chorus]

        G
I ain't pageant material
         Em
The only crown is in my glass
                                            C
They won't be handin' me a sash, and that's okay, cause there's no way
                                      D
You'll ever see me in a swimsuit on a stage
         G 
I ain't exactly Ms. Congenial
            Em                           
Sometimes I talk before I think, I try to fake it but I can't
            Am             C       D              G 
I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
                Am             C       D              G 
Yeah I'd rather lose for what I am than win for what I ain't
