Refrain
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F] [Bbm]
Once there was a girl, the most beautiful voice in the world
[Cm] [Ebm] [F]
A sound like an angel
[Bbm] [Cm]
She dreamed of the day
[Ebm] [F] [Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
To be thrown up on stage, immortalized into her fame
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
[Bbm] [Cm] [Em] [F]
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
[Bbm] [Cm] [Em] [F]
Verse 1
[Bbm] [Cm]
She tried for every part, tried to get her start
[Ebm] [F]
Got herself an agent, then he won her heart
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
But the stage alluded her, said her size excluded her
[Bbm] [Cm]
She wanted to sing, she'd do anything
[Ebm] [F]
Got herself a ring, but it didn't bring her
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
To the stage that hated her, ogled and berated her
Chorus
[Bbm] [Cm]
What would you do?
[Ebm] [F]
Can't eat your cake and have it too
[Bbm] [Cm]
What would you kill?
[Ebm] [F]
Your taste in life or strength of will?
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
The body's built to suffer, being modeled like a doll
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
And hunger's only temporary till the curtain calls
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
Your call
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
Verse 2
[Bbm] [Cm]
It started with her height, all her clothes too tight
[Ebm] [F]
Thinking of the ways she knew it wasn't right
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
No one else was shaped like her, ate as big a plate as her
[Bbm] [Cm]
Fighting through the pain time and time again
[Ebm] [F]
Meals down the drain, drilled into her brain that
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
Every bite impeded her, all the girls exceeded her
Bridge
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F] [Bbm]
Oh, but see what fame means for you and me?
[Cm] [Ebm] [F]
So please don't give up your dreams
[Bbm] [Cm]
Who has ever heard of quitting
[Ebm] [F]
When they are so fucking goddamn close to winning?
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
Everything we talked about, don't you dare walk out
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
Refrain
[Am] [Bm] [Dm] [E] [Am]
Once there was girl with a body consumed by the world
[Bm] [Dm] [E]
She begged for an angel
[Am] [Bm]
Death heard of betrayal
[Dm] [E] [Am] [Bm] [Dm] [E]
Her siren song wail and offered to rewrite her tale
Chorus
[Bbm] [Cm]
What would you do?
[Ebm] [F]
Can't eat a man and have him too
[Bbm] [Cm]
What would you kill
[Ebm] [F]
To see your husband's insides spill?
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
No body's made to suffer from a hunger so severe
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F] [Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
But that is how you ruin your Broadway career
[Bbm] [Cm] [Ebm] [F]
