Playing Nancy Chords

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
