Cm                                     G#
Told you I felt lucky with my humble breasts
        Cm
Well I don´t
                                            G#
Said that I was sure the world was gonna change
         Cm
Well I´m not
                                             G#
Before I didn´t give a damn ´bout what they say
      Cm
But I do
                                      G#
Promised that I´ll never ever lie to you

            Fm
So you can help
            A#             Fm
Taking the make-up off my face
            A#
Before I forget my own features

Chorus:
G#       A#              D#
I´m not here to let you down
G#          A#              Cm
But the costume makes the clown
G#         A#            D#
It´s just lashing out on me
             Cm
Don´t be so hard
             G#
Don´t be so hard on this
           G#m
It´s your turn now
To cheat on me

The promises I made to you went down the sink
Really hope I haven't harmed your self esteem
I'm not a virgin, but I'm not the whore you think
And I don't always smell like strawberries and cream

So look at how
I'm takin' the make-up off my face
Before I forget who I am now

Chorus:
'Cause I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
It's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now, your turn now

I'm not here to let you down
But the costume makes the clown
It's just life's anatomy
Don't be so hard, don't be so hard on this
It's your turn now, your turn now
To cheat on me
