 F                                A#
Always check the door before you lay down
 F                            A#
Keep a glass of water by the bed
   F
A dose of local honey
      A#
Will keep your nose from runnin'
 F                                    A#
Little things like that she's always said

 Dm            C                A#
Never back up farther than you have to
     Dm             C                 A#
And pray for those that don't have a prayer

Chorus:
        F
Honey, trust yourself
            C
You better love yourself
        Dm              C                A#
'Cause ‘til you do you ain’t no good for anybody
else
            F
And honey, boys are dumb
                     C
But you’re going to find your one
 Dm                  C
Love him hard, and bless your heart
          A#
When you need someone to listen
                                        F    A# F A#
That’s why I leave the light on in the kitchen

Pancakes just taste better after midnight
When you make friends, always be color blind
Your freckles make you pretty
There's more to life than bein' skinny
When you feel fat, it's mostly in your mind

Chorus:
So, honey, trust yourself
You better love yourself
'Cause 'til you do, you ain't no good
To anybody else
And, honey, boys are dumb
But you gonna find your one
Love him hard and bless your heart
You'll need someone to listen
And that's why I leave a light on in the kitchen

              F
Well honey, trust yourself
 C
Laugh at yourself
    Dm                 C
If something tries to hold you back
    A#
Get up and give it hell

Chorus:
And for heaven's sake
Always have a place
That you can do some cryin' and some bitchin'
And always leave a light on in the kitchen
