Lady

[Intro ]
Emaj7 Am7 Bmaj7 Em7 

 
Cmaj7 
I don't wanna stand up straight 
Am7 
Saying yes to every date 
Bm7 
No is rude, a boy likes you 
Em7 
You're lucky to find someone 
(They say) 
Cmaj7 
Think about what's on the plate 
Am7 
And don't you dare gain the weight 
Bm7 
Leave the food, it's up to you 
Em7 
Cause how will you meet someone? 
 

 
Dm7 Cmaj7                 Am7 
If      you're not giving picture perfect magazine 
Bm7                 Em7 
Picked apart, start with the broken seams 
Dm7 Cmaj7                       Am7 
I'll     teach my daughter what it means 
D7 
To be a woman 

Dm7                  Cmaj7    Am7    Bm7  Em7 
Cause what makes a lady 
                     Cmaj7    Am7    Bm7 
Is not what I'm raising 
Em7                                      Cmaj7 
I wanna show her a world where no means no 
                        Am7 
If you wanna leave, you go 
 Bm7                                              Em7 
Picking yourself apart gets you nowhere but it makes 
Dm7  Cmaj7 
you insane 
Bm7 Am7       D7 
To be a lady (mmmh) would be shame 
 

Interlude 
Cmaj7 Am7 Bm7 Em7 

 
Cmaj7 
Careful of the words you use 
Am7 
It's not ladylike to let loose 
Bm7 
Fuck this and fuck that too 
Em7 
They wanna sensor you 
Cmaj7 
And disguise it as politeness 
Am7 
You get silenced if you fight it 
Bm7 
And they mind it if you mind it 
Em7 
So it's best to be reminded that

Dm7  Cmaj7 
you insane 
Bm7 Am7      D7 
To be a lady (mmmh) would be shame 
 

 
Cmaj7 
It'd be a shame to dull your voice 
Am7 
It'd be a shame to not have choice 
B7 
It'd be a shame for other women 
Em7                           Dm7 
To sit and poise yourself for points 
Cmaj7 
And in the end who really wins? 

When you're you're so well spoken and slim 
D7 
And you've spent all your extra hours 
C 
Being a man's perfect sim
