If Barbie Girl Was Written In 2021 The Other Perspective

Hannah Grae


Tom: Bm

Bm               Em
You’re a Barbie girl,
A            D
living in a fair world
Bm          Em
Life is fantastic,
A                D
why do you keep asking

[Verse 1]
Bm         Em
for equality?
   A              D
I bet we get the same money,
Bm     Em     A          D
appreciation and consideration.

[Chorus]
Bm               Em
You’re a Barbie girl
A            D
acting so against the world,
Bm           Em
just lighten up
A                D
your half empty cup,
Bm                  Em
and I would never stare
    A           D
So why should I even care?
Bm           Em
I’m not the problem
A              D
not my job to solve them

[Post Chorus]
Bm              Em
You’re a Barbie girl
A                  D
You will get your damn turn,
Bm            Em
just let me speak first
A                      D
To tell you what I’ve rehearsed
Bm                    Em
I’d never steal your voice
       A           D
Being quiet is a choice, oh
Bm            Em
When will it all end?
A             D
God it’s not all men

[Bridge]
G*                A*
Come on Barbie, let’s go party
F#m*            Bm*
Wear whatever makes you happy
G*
But not that dress
A*
Below knee is best
F#m           Bm
Do whatever makes you happy
G
Come on people
A
Let’s be real
F#m            Bm
I’m not saying you’re to blame
G
Come on people
A
Let’s be real
F#m
The choice is yours
To change

[Outro]
Bm            Em   A D
I’m a Barbie girl
Bm           Em   A D
Im a Barbie girl
Bm*              Em*
You’re a Barbie girl
    A*                    D*
If not then it is still your world
Bm*        Em*
To make a difference
A*
It’s your existence
