Lyrics

The (Csus2)life of a prin cess

from her (C6)birth is well de fined:

she must (Csus2)hum bly serve her coun try,

play the (C6)part she’s been as signed.

She guards the (Fsus2)hopes of her peo ple,

weak and (Gsus)might y, rich and poor.

(Am)Who could ev er ask for (Csus2)more?

could ev er ask for (Am)Who could ev er ask for (G7sus)more?

(Dsus2)I wan na be like oth er girls.

(Dsus2)Climb up a tree like oth er girls can.

(Bm11)Just to be free, like oth er girls

get to (Dsus2)be.

To slouch when I (F7sus)sit.

To eat a whole (Bb)cake.

Feel the sun on my (F7sus)feet.

Get dirt y.

Act (Dm)sil ly.

Be an y thing I (Ebsus2)want to be.

(Dm)Dance a round in my (F7sus)un der wear.

To run real ly (F7sus)fast.

To get rid of this (Bb)fan.

To eat a whole (F7sus)cake.

Get cra zy.

With (Dm)frost ing.

No es corts, no (Ebsus2)man ners, no nurse maids, no (Dm)wor ries.

No β€œhands fold ed (Ebsus2)per fect, (CN.C.)like hold ing a li ly.”

(D)I wan na be like oth er girls.

(D)Scrape up my knee like oth er girls can.

(Bm)Just to be free like oth er girls

To speak for my (Bb6/9)self.

To sing way off key.

Mar ry some one I’ve met, who loves me for (Dm)me.

No es corts, no (Ebsus2)man ners, no nurse maids, no (Dm)wor ries.

No β€œhands fold ed (Ebsus2)per fect, (CN.C.)like hold ing a li ly.” No pinch y (F)shoes.

(D)I wan na be like oth er girls, (D)climb up a tree like oth er girls can.

(Bm)Just to be free like oth er girls
