    Playing Nancy Chords

    Uploaded by

    The song describes a woman who has come to accept her role as "Nancy" - the pretty but naïve one-night stand. She learns from a young age that her appearance dictates how men see her and what is expected of her. While she questions if this is truly her destiny, she has grown accustomed to playing the part required of her and finds it better than not being desired at all.

    PLAYING NANCY

    N.C. Em

    Well here I am again

    The pretty but nave one

    The perky-breasted, giggly one night stand

    Em

    Is it my destiny to be

    A brief diversion

    A G

    Just a detour on the journey of some man?

    I'm not really one for askin'

    I'll play whatever role I'm cast in

    Will smile with perfect teeth

    And grimace underneath

    Em7

    I learned back in my teens

    There's no point in protestin'

    Em7

    If you look good in tight jeans

    That's what they'll want you dressed in

    Once you're known for low-cut tops

    D/F#

    It's pretty hard to stop

    Em7

    It isn't easy to break free

    Em7/A D (F# G C# D A A G F#)

    Of playing Nancy

    I don't really remember

    I guess I chose to be here

    I wasn't quite aware that

    I was put here to be stared at

    Em7

    But this world I chose to live in

    Is mostly run by men

    Em7

    So you take what you are given

    A7

    Just to feel the love again

    So throughout the endless week

    D/F#

    And all through the weekend

    Em7

    You will find me here

    PLAYING NANCY
    Em7/A D (F# G C# D A A G F#)

    Playing Nancy

    And look, I know this person fits me

    I'm pretty good at being pretty

    And I'm grateful, I mean to say

    There are worse roles you can play

    Em7

    And I'd rather be up dancing

    Than sad against a wall

    Em7

    It's better to be leered at

    A7

    Than not desired at all

    Who am I to dream of better

    D/F# Em7

    To dream that one day I will be

    A7 Gmaj7

    Something more than just collateral

    D/F#

    In someone else's battle

    Em7

    I will be

    Em7/A D (F# G C# D A A G F#)

    Something more than Nancy
