This is a slightly simplified arrangement made for strumming which I show in the later part of my tutorial,
but I also show an adaptation of the fingerpicking on guitar, in case anyone's interested in that.
 
 
 
[Intro]
 
Am F C G
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
 Am
Put your makeup on, get your nails done, curl your hair
 F                                              C                 G
Run the extra mile, keep it slim, so they like you, do they like you
 Am
Get your sexy on, don't be shy girl, take it off
  F                                             C                G
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you, do you like you
 
 
[Chorus 1]
 
                   Am                           F
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away
                  C                                                  G
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up, you don't have to change a single thing
                   Am                                     F
You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try, try, try, try
                    C                                     G
You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try
                   Am F C G
You don't have to try, mm
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 Am
Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards
 F                                                  C                 G
You don't have to choose, buy it all, so they like you, do they like you
 Am
Wait a second why, should you care what they think of you
  F                                              C                G
When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you, do you like you
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
                   Am                           F
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away
                  C                                                  G
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up, you don't have to change a single thing
                   Am                           F
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to bend until you break
                  C                                                  G
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up, you don't have to change a single thing
                   Am                                     F
You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try, try, try, try
                    C                                     G
You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try
                   Am                                     F
You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try, try, try, try
                    C                                     G
You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try
                   Am F     C G
You don't have to try, oh, mm
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
                   Am                           F
You don't have to try so hard, you don't have to give it all away
                  C                                                  G
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up, you don't have to change a single thing
                   Am                                     F
You don't have to try, try, try, try, you don't have to try, try, try, try
                    C                      G
You don't have to try, you don't have to try
 
 
[Outro]
 
 Am
Take your makeup off, let your hair down, take a deep breath
 F                                                C                 G
Look into the mirror at yourself, don't you like you, cause I like you

Beautiful song and chords are right on. Easy to sing to in this key and inspiring lyrics. Found this song on youtube where a woman gives people with cerebral palsy the 'freedom to fly' by being harnassed to her as they dance together - very moving.
