[Verse 1]
A A/B
Popcorn, soda, box of Raisinets

Velvet-cushioned seats and soft armrests

Best seat in my favorite movie house

Start my dreaming as the lights go out
D A Bm
Up on the silver screen, I picture me

Living out my passions, hopes, and fantasies.
[Chorus 1]
A
I want to be the girl in the movies
Bm
The one with the glint in her eyes

The girl that seldom loses

Beautiful, with grace and style

Acting out her story

Standing in her glory
A
Happy ever after
Bm A
I want to be the girl in the movies.

Watching others live their lives with confidence

Here's a preview of some things to come

It's not too late for me to be someone
D A Bm
I can't keep living in their make-believe
D A Bm E
Coming attractions will be starring me.
[Chorus]
A
I want to be the girl in the movies

The one with the stars in her eyes (In her eyes)

She gets the roles she chooses

She can laugh or she can cry

Always happy endings

I want to be the girl in the movies.
[Bridge]

It's time I show the world just what I'm about

Gonna stand up and I'm gonna matter

'Cause I've had enough of my dreams being shattered

And I've had enough of my tears being splattered

I've already been that girl.

Oh, I want to be (I want to be) I want to be (I want to be)

I want to be the girl in the movies
A
I want to be (I want to be) Hey look at me (Hey look at me)

I want to shine (I want to shine) I want to shine (I'm gonna shine)

It's my time and I want to shine

I want to be happy, I want to be free
A/B A
Just like the girl in the movies.
