Kate Gill - Barbie and Ken

[intro]
F  Am  Em

[verse]
F
  Too little girls
Am
  with their heads up in the clouds
Em
  Dreamin' like the rest
Didn't stick out from the crowd
F
  But between themselves
Am
  They knew that they were different
Em
  But they pushed it down
Cause nobody would even listen

[pre-chorus]
      F
Their parents always saying
Girl when you grow up
             Am
You're gonna find a nice man
Make sure you're pretty enough
          Em
You'll be living a life like Barbie and Ken
C'mon suck it up and forget this nonsense

[chorus]
          F
What it's not Ken but Barbie
               Am
Why should she have to say sorry?
             Em
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'?
            F
We can love who we want to
                Am
Don't say she's not supposed to
           Em
If it's not Ken but Barbie
She doesn't have to say sorry

[post-chorus]
           F
No, not to you
Not to me
       Am
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
       Em
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone

[verse 2]
F
  Hidin' how she feels
Am
  Sayin' things like Love ain't real
Em
  All just to conceal
That she's not society's ideal
F
  Hearin' what they say
Am
  About those who feel the same way
Em
  She's really not okay
Tells herself it's just a phase

[pre-chorus]
    F
Her parents always sayin'
Girl when will you see
          Am
You don't know what you want
Trust us we know what you need
          Em
You'll be with your own Ken, oh so happily
It's no way to live; with another Barbie

[chorus]
                 F
But what if it's not Ken but Barbie
               Am
Why should she have to say sorry?
           Em
Tell me do you even listen?
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'?
            F
We can love who we want to
                Am
Don't say she's not supposed to
            Em
If it's not Ken but Barbie
She doesn't have to say sorry

[post-chorus]
           F
No, not to you
Not to me
       Am
Not to anyone, anyone, anyone
       Em
Not to you
Not to me
Not to anyone, anyone, anyo-o-one

C    Cmaj7  C7                     F
   no,    no, she doesn't have to say sorry
C    Cmaj7  C7                   F
   no,    no, she's never gonna say sorry

[outro]
                 F
She never wanted Ken but Barbie
               Am
She never ever has to say sorry
           Em
And nobody is gonna listen
To all the dumb shit you're slippin'
            F
We can love who we want to
                Am
Don't say she's not supposed to
                  Em
It'll never be Ken but always Barbie
And she doesn't have to say sorry
To you
