[Verse 1]

St. Michael gave you your name and Francis made you a star

Took the songs that you sing and clipped the wings from the wire

Stood up and played shows to twelve, in Calistoga they knew

A single note cause you’re sweet, I wanna tell you

[Chorus]

Take a chance on yourself, ignore those pop magazines

You're the gold plated girl, you're the DIY Queen

I know you say you miss me, but simple things never keep

Just take a chance on yourself

[Verse 2]

Cassavette was right, that you were sent from above

Puncture made you a saint, and killed the things that you loved

Just don't act famous for me, I'm not the one you should choose

Beachcomber Don's after eight, I wanna tell you

[Chorus]

Take a chance on yourself, ignore those pop magazines

You're the gold plated girl, you're the DIY Queen

I know you say you miss me, but simple things never keep

Just take a chance on yourself

[Verse 3]

You wrote the anthems they sang, let diamonds shrink in the wash

Played the tight t-shirt game with Baby, Sporty, and Posh

I know we've made some mistakes, the ones that shine always do

Took it back just the same, I wanna tell you

[Chorus]

Take a chance on yourself, ignore those pop magazines

You're the gold plated girl, you're the DIY Queen

I know you say you miss me, but simple things never keep

Just take a chance on yourself
