……..
[Verse 1]
C
It ain’t the number on a barbell
G/B
Or the notches on your belt
Am
Not the stack of twelve ounce girl PBRs
F
That you’re getting help
[Verse 2]
C
It ain’t the locker-room talk
G/B
Or the shiner on your eye
Am
Not the pat on your back when your old man asks
F
“How’d you leave the other guy?”
Dm
Makes you a man
G/B
Hard to understand
[Chorus]
C
You’re the pretty boy
G/B
The funny boy
Am G
The trumpet in a marchin’ band really coy
F
The skinny kid
Em
That don’t fit in
Dm G
You’ve always been a little bit different
F G Am
You gotta sing your song in the middle of all their nois?
G/B C
Being strong ain’t so pretty boy
[Verse 3]
C
So you’re not th? quarterback
G/B
Cold rollin’ in a truck that’s jacked
Am F
Not tough enough ’cause you don’t have a buck with enough points on a rack
Dm
No, it ain’t all that
[Chorus]
C
You’re the pretty boy
G/B
The funny boy
Am G
The trumpet in a marchin’ band really coy
F
The skinny kid
Em
That don’t fit in
Dm G
You’ve always been a little bit different
F G Am
You gotta sing your song in the middle of all their nois?
G/B Am F
Being strong ain’t so pretty boy
C G Am F G
Oh oh, it ain’t so pretty boy, ooh
[Bridge]
F
They say it’s a negative
G
That you’re sensitive
Am G
Your momma always said that that’s a positive
[Chorus 2]
C
So take the high road
G/B
Hold onto hope
Am G
Beat to your own drum and let it fill your soul
F
Stay humble kid
Dm
You won’t fit in
F G
You’ll always be a little different
F G
So sing your song in the middle of all that noise
Am G
You sing that song in the middle of that noise
[Outro]
Stay strong, pretty boy
