Dm          A#             F
Is there a prince in this fable
        C                   Dm
For a small-town girl like me?
                   A#         F
The good ones are gone or not able
          C                    Dm A# F
And Matt Damon’s not meant for me

C                       Dm A# F
Damon’s not meant for me

Dm        A#
I got to say
     F            C
California is a place that I respect
Dm       A#         F
Come on LA, take advantage
           C
Give me a night that I won't forget
Dm        A#
I went to look
           F                C
From the sky bar to the standard, nothing took
Dm                A#
These boys don't care
       F                   C
Got a handful with their projects and
with their looks

Chorus:
Dm                   A#
Where are all the men in this town?
F                      C
What's a girl supposed to do?
Dm                   A#
Did they all ran off when they knew
F                         C
That I was coming 'round, coming 'round?
Dm                   A#
Where are all the men in this town?
F                      C
What's a girl supposed to do?
Dm                   A#
Did they all ran off when they knew
F                         C
That I was coming 'round, coming 'round?

Dm
Fresh, I'm so fresh, and I'm so clean
Dm
Got the lips, and got the skin
Dm
Got the skin, got that thing
Dm
I'm so fresh, and I'm so

Is there a prince in this fable
For a small town girl like me?
The good ones are gone or not able
And Matt Damon's not meant for me

Dm       A#
I never dreamed
          F             C
That I'd come here to become the next Jolie
Dm         A#            F
But I sure know there is someone
        C
Around somewhere who's meant to be

Chorus:
Where are all the men in this town?
And what's a girl supposed to do?
Did they all run off when they knew
That I was coming 'round, coming 'round?
Where are all the men in this town?
And what's a girl supposed to do?
Did they all run off when they knew
That I was coming 'round, coming round?

Dm
Fresh, I'm so fresh, and I'm so clean
Dm
Got the lips, and got the skin
Dm
Got the skin, got that thing
Dm
I'm so fresh, and I'm so
Dm
Fresh, I'm so fresh, and I'm so clean
Dm
Got the lips, and got the skin
Dm
Got the skin, got that thing
Dm
I'm so fresh, and I'm so

   Dm
So they say
       A#               F
It's a suicide waiting, others say
        C                  Dm
It's a suicide waiting, yo no sé
       A#               F
It's a suicide waiting another day
        C
It's a suicide waiting
   Dm             A#              F
So decide, it's a suicide waiting all this time
        C                  Dm
It's a suicide waiting, ¿dónde estás?
       A#                    F
It's a suicide waiting, so decide
         C
It's a suicide waiting
