Use your thumb to strum the bass notes and your index,
middle, and ring fingers to pluck the triads, and slap
the strings where the mutes are.
During the chorus and bridge, strum the full chord.
You can either listen to the song for the exact
rhythm, or play one that you like better.
[Verse 1]
C Am
I don't know why you always get so insecure.
G C
I wish you could see what I see
Am G
When you're looking in the mirror.
C Am
And why won't you believe me when I say
G C Am G
That to me you get more beautiful everyday?
Am
When you're looking at the magazines
G Am
And thinking that you'll never measure up,
Am(strum) G(strum)
You're so wrong.
[Chorus]
C Am
'Cause you're my cover, cover girl.
G C
I think you're a superstar, yeah you are,
Am G
Why don't you know?
C Am
Yeah you're so pretty that it hurts
G Bb
It's what's underneath your skin,
F
The beauty that shines within
Am G(once)
You're the only one that rocks my world, my cover girl.
C Am G C
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my cover girl.
Am G7(once)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.

[Verse 2]
C Am
You walk in rainboots on a perfect summer day.
G C
Somehow you always see the dark side
Am G
When everything's okay.
C Am
And you wear baggy clothes that camoflauge your shape.
G C
Whoa, but you know that I love you
Am G
Just the way you're made.
Am
When you're looking at the magazines
G Am
And thinking that you're just not good enough
Am(once) G(once)
You're so wrong, baby.
[Chorus]
C Am
'Cause you're my cover, cover girl.
G C
I think you're a superstar, yeah you are,
Am G
Why don't you know?
C Am
Yeah you're so pretty that it hurts
G Bb
It's what's underneath your skin,
F
The beauty that shines within
Am G(strum once)
You're the only one that rocks my world, my cover girl.
[Bridge]
Bb F
Got a heart of gold, a perfect original.
Am G
Wish you would stop being so hard on yourself for awhile.
Bb F
And when I see that face, I'd try a thousand ways,
Am G
I would do anything to make you smile.
[Chorus]
C Am
'Cause you're my cover, cover girl.
G C
I think you're a superstar, yeah you are,
Am G
Why don't you know?
C Am
Yeah you're so pretty that it hurts
G Bb
It's what's underneath your skin,
F
The beauty that shines within
Am G(strum once)
You're the only one that rocks my world, my cover girl.
C Am G C
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my cover girl.
Am G C
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, my cover girl.
Am G C
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, my cover girl.
Am G7(once) C(once)
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh, cover girl.
If there are any spots where it is unclear exactly where
the chord falls in comparison to the word, listen to the
song, but knowing the vocal melody and holding a steady
beat should make it pretty clear.
