[Verse 3]
A
Ariah was the most beautiful girl in this world
C#m B
She shined like diamonds and rubies and pearls
A
But then as soon as she turned 13
C#m E
She forgot just how bright that it was that she gleamed
A
Stuck in a material world of magazines
C#m B
That glamourize the fake and photoshopped beauty queens
A
Top ten beauty tips making her feel inadequate
F G
For the first time in her life she felt ugly
[Verse 3]
F
So Ariah stopped eating to lose weight
Am G
She spent her dinner money on some make up for her face
F
But no matter how much she'd lost
Or how much she bought
Am
She was never good enough
G
Or so she thought
F
Ariah felt she could never be loved
Am G
She started cutting her wrists and hiding her scars with gloves
F Am G
At 16, an anorexic beauty queen, she collapses in a puddle of her tears and blood
F
'Cause she never felt enough
F
She never felt enough
Am G
You sell us all this lie that we must buy to keep in touch
F
But we can never buy enough, never buy enough
Am G
All the riches in the world can't buy a sense of self love
F
Funny how you act surprised when depression levels rise
Am G
When you force feed inadequacy straight into our eyes
F
Television shows that praise the beautiful people
Am G
And talent competitions that just laugh at the feeble
[Verse 4]
F
Billboards, magazines, people turned to plasticine
Am G
Moulded like a factory, we're growing up to fear feeling ugly
F
It's lunacy
Am
A knife in the community, 'cause insecurity breeds judgment
G F
Judgment breeds hate, not unity
Am
And hierarchy based upon aesthetics is what makes a kid in school get bullied for
G
genetics
F
And I felt so ugly growing up
Am G
The way that I looked sometimes got me beaten up
F
I mean what the fuck?
F
Sort of culture do we live in
Am G
When we're defined by the shape of our face
F
When we're ashamed by the size of our waist
Am G
When we're imprisoned by the form that we take
F
And so we keep buyin' and spendin'
Am G
That's just how this story goes
F
You build us up just to knock us back down
N.C.
And we just keep falling
N.C.
Like dominoes
