[Verse 1]
                F
Well, she's the prettiest girl
       Am            Dm
at the party and she knows it
                    Bb
She's got a picture-perfect smile
          F                   C
that'll break your heart wide open
               F
She'll let the butterflies free
        Am              Dm
if your eyes meet for a moment
                     Bb
And when she finally leaves,
                F               C
it's like she's walking in slow motion

[Pre-Chorus]
    Bb              F
But when she comes home
Dm                        C
Sits down and gets in her bed
                 Bb         F
She's a mess and she's all alone
C
So done with trying to prеtend

[Chorus]
And she says
 Bb                    C
"Under thе covers, I'm someone else
              F          C
Than what you see on the cover
   Dm
of Vogue or Elle
           Bb             C
Yeah, the magazines don't always
          F
tell the truth"
And she says
 Bb                     C
"Under the surface, I'm so much more
            F       C          Dm
Than just a pretty face or the girl
next door
          Bb              C
Yeah, the magazines don't always
            F
tell the truth"

[Verse 2]
            F
It's been a couple of years,
        Am            Dm
so she moves to West L.A
                          Bb
'Cause when you look that good,
            F                 C
I guess you might as well get paid
              F
Went from her parents' old house
      Am             Dm
to become a household name
                 Bb
It's a whole new world but somehow
F                     C
still feels just the same

[Pre-Chorus]
       Bb             F
'Cause when she comes home
Dm                        C
Sits down and gets in her bed,
so successful
    Bb            F
But she's still alone
C
So done with trying to pretend

[Chorus]
And she says
 Bb                    C
"Under thе covers, I'm someone else
              F          C

[Bridge]
    Bbm
And maybe it's Maybelline
         C
But it's probably make-believe
           F           C
'Cause the dreams that they're
           Dm
selling to you
    C     Bb          C
Are paper-thin too

[Chorus]
And she says
 Bb                    C
"Under thе covers, I'm someone else
              F          C
Than what you see on the cover

of Vogue or Elle
           Bb             C
