[Verse 1]
Erika:
If I'd [C]like to [F]have my [Em]breakfast [F]hot
Madame [Am]Carp will make me p[C]pay,
And I [C]have to [F]fetch the [Em]eggs my[F]myself
And the [Am]barn's a mile awa[C]away.
It's [Dm]cold and wet
But [E]still I get an o[Am]omelette on my [D]plate,
But [C]in my [F]head I'm [Em]back in [F]bed
Snuggled [Am]up and sleeping [C]late.
[Spoken]
[G]An[D]Anne[A]neliese:
Really?
Erika:
Really. But it's all right. I mean, I'm
used to it.
And you?
Anneliese:
Well...
Erika:
Well?
[Verse 2]
Anneliese:
If I [C]want some [F]eggs I [Em]ring the [F]bell
And the [Am]maid comes running [C]in,
And she [C]serves them [F]on a [Em]silver [F]tray
And she [Am]brings a cookie [C]tin.
And [Dm]while I eat, she [E]rubs my feet
And [Am]strolling minstrels [D]play,
But I'd [C]rather [F]be in my [Em]librar[F]library
Reading [Am]science books all [C]day.
[Interlude]
[Am] [G] [|] [Dsus4] [D]
[Chorus]
Erika:
I'm just like yo[C]you
Anneliese:
(you are?)
Erika:
You're just like [G]me
There's somewhere [C]else we'd rather [G]be
Somewhere that’s [D]ours
Somewhere that [Em]dreams come true
Yes [C]I am a girl like [D]you.
You'd never [C]think that it was [G]so
But now I've [C]met you and I [G]know,
It's plain as da[D]day
Sure as the [Em]sky is blue
[C]I am a girl like [G]you.
[Spoken]
[D]An[A]ne[C]li[G]es[D]e:[A] [C] [G] [G/F] [G/E] [G/D]
So, you're a singer?
Erika:
No, I work at Madame Carp's penitentiary.
Uh, I mean, Dress Emporium.
Anneliese:
I love Madame Carp's dresses!
Erika:
I made the one you're wearing.
Anneliese:
You made this? The design looks so
complicated!
Erika:
Oh, it isn't really.
[Verse]
Erika:
First I [C]choose a [F]fabric [Em]from the [F]rack
And I [Am]pin the pattern [C]down,
And I [C]stitch it [F]in the f[Em]front and b[F]back
[Am]And it turns into a [C]gown!
Anneliese:
[Dm]I wear my gown
[E]Without my crown
[Am]And dance around my [D]room
Both
And i[C]imagine [F]life wit[Em]hout the str[F]ife
Of an [Am]unfamiliar [C]groom.
[Spoken]
[G]An[D]Anne[D/A]neliese:
But I'd never let my mother know.
I wouldn't want to disappoint her.
Erika:
I completely understand.
[Chorus]
Anneliese:
I'm just like yo[C]you
Erika:
(I think that's true)
Anneliese:
You're just like [G]me
Erika:
(Yes I can see)
Both:
We take res[C]responsibilit[G]ponsibility
Anneliese:
We carry [D]through
Erika:
(We carry through)
Both:
Do what we [Em]need to [G]do.
Yes [C]I am a girl like [D]you.
Anneliese:
I'm just like [C]you
Erika:
(I'm just like you)
Anneliese:
You're just like [G]me
Erika:
(You're just like me)
Both:
It's something [C]anyone can [G]see
Anneliese:
A heart that [D]beats
Erika:
(a heart that beats)
Both:
A voice that [Em]speaks the [G]truth
Yes [C]I am a girl [G]like you.
