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

     A#             F
But when she comes home
Dm                         C
Sits down and gets in her bed
                  A#         F
She's a mess and she's all alone
 C
So done with trying to pretend

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

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

'Cause when she comes home
Sits down and gets in her bed, so successful
But she's still alone
So done with trying to pretend

Chorus:
And she says
"Under the covers, I'm someone else
Than what you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle, yeah
The magazines don't always tell the truth"
And she says
"Under the surface, I'm so much more
Than just a pretty face or the girl next door, yeah
The magazines don't always tell the truth"

    Gm
And maybe it's Maybelline
           C
But it's probably make-believe
             F           C                Dm
'Cause the dreams that they're selling to you
     C     A#     C
Are paper-thin too

Chorus:
And she says
"Under the covers, I'm someone else
Than what you see on the cover of Vogue or Elle, yeah
The magazines don't always tell the truth"
And she says
"Under the surface, I'm so much more
Than just a pretty face or the girl next door, yeah
The magazines don't always tell the truth"
