Girl for the Job
Elton John/Mark Sonnenblick/Shaina Taub
from "The Devil Wears Prada: a new musical" OST

Am   F   E   Eb
  Ah, ah, ah,  ah
Am   F   E   Eb
  Ah, ah, ah,  ah

   Am                     B7
My boss is a beast in stilettos
   E7                      Am
I try to do well and then, bam!
      Dm                      Am
She dresses me down like I'm some sort of clown
     B7                     E7         
How stupid does she think I am?

    Am                        B7
And why is she this goddess almighty
       E7                    Am
To her overdressed, underfed mob?
       F
It's abundantly clear
      Am           B7            E7          Am
That nobody here thinks I'm the girl for the job
    Dm           E7       Am
The girl for the job

(Bad day?)
I don't wanna talk about it
Let's talk about you, how was your day?
(Well, the farmers market had these incredible acorn squash)

   Am                     B7
I thought I knew what I signed up for
      E7                     Am
It's fashion, how hard can it be?
(So we are gonna talk about your day?)
          Dm                    Am
But this ruthless, extravagant snake pit
     B7                E7
Is starting to horrify me

             Am                        B7
And they're rolling their eyes in the hallway
         E7                     Am
While I sit in the bathroom and sob
         F
So I'm quitting tonight
(You are?)
Am
I was right!
    B7       E7          Am
I'm not the girl for the job
    Dm           E7       Am
The girl for the job

(Here, call right now, I'm making tacos)
Yeah, I'm gonna call right now
(Yeah, and tomorrow you'll get another job)
(One where you actually get to write something)
Totally, huh, totally

     A
But that's what they want
 G                     D              A
Wouldn't they love to watch me walk away?
    
Go down in defeat
        G 
They'd say, "She was sweet
      D              A
But couldn't last a day"

    Bb                     Dm
And think of the look on Miranda's face
      B7                 E7 
If I march back in and stay
(Wait, stay? What just happened?)
     D                      A/C#
Put on your big girl pants, Andy
     E7                      A
And just stick it out for a year
(A year?)
        D                    A/C#
Take Miranda's B.S. and then when she's impressed
          Bm                     E7
I'll walk out for my real life career

      D                    A/C#
I'll give it a thousand percent now
    C#m                    F#
And show that insufferable snob
     Bm          D                      C#m      F#m  
That out of the million girls who would kill for it
             D         E            F#
She got the best damn girl for the job
     Bm           D                     C#m      F#m
That out of the million girls who would kill for it
             D         E            A
She got the best damn girl for the job
