Marilyn

Once you got through the doors, was it glamorous?
Or did you think you'd feel more fulfilled? (Mm)
'Cause I can see how it seemed
Through an L.A. silver screen
But I can also see how it'd drive me to pills

Chorus:
So was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane?
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?

In every room
 F#                        C#
Was the way that everyone loved you
   Fm          G#
A feeling you outgrew?
       F#                     C#
'Cause everybody wanted to be you
D#m
But did you? (Mm-mm, hmm)

Chorus:
Was it worth it to seem so perfect?
Blonde and curves didn't keep you from your skeletons
Was it lonely, show pony?
Did you miss Norma Jeane? The woman underneath
Or did you always wanna be Marilyn?
Oh, ooh-ooh, Marilyn

Uhm, do I feel happy in life? Uhm
Uh, let's see
