B   C#m7   E    B

           
[Verse 1]
B                              
I remember looking at magazines
  C#m7                              
I never saw anyone quite like me
       E                     B   
It was hard, it was hard for me

B                                  
I would never speak up out of turn
           C#m7                               
Bout those blonde blue-eyed girls
                   
They were beautiful
           E                    B      
But it was hard, hard for me to dream

[Chorus]
B                         C#m7      
I'll be my own homecoming queen
                            E  
As long as it feels good to me
                          B    
I'll be the voice of this town
B                             C#m7      
You'll be your own homecoming queen
                                E    
Forget all the shit that you've seen
           B     
Put on the crown
           

[Verse 2]
     B                   
When I was a teenager
        C#m7                                   
Awkward body hair, and big derriere
       E                              B       
It was harder, so much harder than it seemed

B                
I am a woman now
       C#m7                            
I feel beautiful, and I love myself
           E                    B   
But it was hard, to get used to me

        
[Chorus]                              
B                         C#m7      
I'll be my own homecoming queen
                            E  
As long as it feels good to me
                          B    
I'll be the voice of this town
B                             C#m7      
You'll be your own homecoming queen
                                E    
Forget all the shit that you've seen
           B     
Put on the crown

        
[Bridge]
G#m                    E    B       
Cause in 1967 I wasn't human
       G#m        E               
And in 1994 I was born
          F#              
I'm still here
             E    F#
We are still here

        
[Chorus]
B                         C#m7      
I'll be my own homecoming queen
                            E  
As long as it feels good to me
                          B    
I'll be the voice of this town
B                             C#m7      
You'll be your own homecoming queen
                                E    
Forget all the shit that you've seen
           B     
Put on the crown


[Chorus]
            E     
Put on that crown
            B     
Put on that crown
