I know what you tell yourself, tell yourself.  I know what you tell yourself
  Am        D
You tell yourself
           C                   Em    Am         D
 Look in the mirror, look in the mirror what does it show?
C           Em                  Am                  D
 I hear you counting. I know you're adding, adding up the score.

 I know, oh yes I know

Chorus:
C                Em     Am      D
What you tell yourself, tell yourself
               C      Em       Am       D
I know what you tell yourself, tell yourself

            C                   Em         Am     D
 Ever since Eden we're built for pleasing everyone knows
               C              Em       Am     D
 And ever since Adam cracked his ribs and let us go I know
           C    Em Am D
 Oh yes I know

Chorus

 Em                  D                    C
 Who taught you how to lie so well and to believe in each and every word you
 G     Em                       D
say?  Who told you that nothing about you is alright
              C                                    G
 It's just no use, it's just no good you'll never be O.K.?
D                    Dm                            Am
 Well I know, I know that wrong's been done to you "It's such a tough
                       G     Dm                       Am
world," that's what you say.  Well I know, I know it's easier said than done
             C           G                        C    Em  Am   D
 But that's enough girl, give it away give it, give it, give it all away.
  C                            Em       Am                 D
 Tell yourself that you're not pretty, look at you, you're beautiful.
 C                  Em         Am                   D
 Tell yourself that no one sees Plain Jane invisible to me, just tell yourself.
 C                     Em          Am                      D
 Tell yourself you'll never be like the anorexic beauties in the magazines.

  C                    Em          Am                   D
 Just a bargain basement Barbie doll, no belle du jour, no femme fatale

Just tell yourself.

 C                     Em               Am              D
 Tell yourself there's nothing worse than the pain inside and the way it hurts
C                   Em                Am     D     C      Em
tell yourself it's nothing new cause everybody feels it too, they feel it too.
Am D
  C                    Em              Am           D     C
 And there's just no getting 'round the fact that your thirteen right now
