[Verse 1] (slow down strum)
D C G
Time keeps slipping away, slipping away
D C G
Same routine settles in next Friday
D C G
TV news interviews saying, "She's loose"
D C G
Police officer asks, "What she's wearing?"
C G D C
And I'm tired of the world perceiving me
C G
And I'm tired of girls saying
D C G
Something here's gotta change, it's gotta change
D C G
We keep playing the same blame game
D C G
Do you think calling names makes me feel safe?
D C G
"You look prettiest when you smile, babe"
C G D C
But I don't want to smile for anyone
C G
And I'll be caught dead saying
[Chorus]
D A Em G
Guess it's my fault my body's fun to stare at
D A Em G
Sorry my clothes can't keep your hands from grabbing
D A Em G
Yeah, it's my problem, I'm asking for it
D A Em G
Guess you're the victim and I'm the suspect
S-s-suspect
[Verse 2]
A
Posters and TV
Bm D G A
Tell me my body is for others' satisfaction
Bm D
Get a sexual reaction
G A Bm D
We're taught we're only meant to act holy
G A Bm D
Cover up your shoulders or you might tempt somebody
G A Bm D
Girls run home at night
G A
When we're leavin' from the party
Bm D
'Cause we're raised to trust nobody
G A Bm D
And it's not right to make excuses
G A
Teach them why they shouldn't do this
Bm C G
'Stead of telling us to hide, hi-hide
[Chorus]
D A Em G
But I guess it's my fault my body's fun to stare at
D A Em G
Sorry my clothes can't keep your hands from grabbing
D A Em G
Yeah, it's my problem, I'm asking for it
D A Em G
Guess you're the victim and I'm the suspect
D A Em G
Yeah, it's my fault my body's fun to stare at
D A Em G
Sorry my clothes can't keep your hands from grabbing
D A Em G
Yeah, it's my problem, I'm asking for it
D A Em G
Guess you're the victim and I'll ignore it
[Outro]
