Em | Cmaj7 | Amin7 | Cmaj7 (last chord sustain)
[Verse 1]
Em Cmaj7 Amin7
They tell her from a young age
Cmaj7
That beauty is likes
Em Cmaj7 Amin7
And she believes them and tries with every pass
Cmaj7
Her innocence they take and
Em Cmaj7
She starts to wear makeup
Amin7 Cmaj7
And wear clothes she thinks they'll like
Em Cmaj7
But nobody told her
Amin7 Cmaj7
She had a pretty great person inside
Amin7 Cmaj7
No one said "you're capable and loving"
Amin7 Cmaj7
"You're kind and you're smart"
Amin7 Cmaj7
"You got passion in your eyes and beauty in your smile"
Amin7 Cmaj7
"And you are a work of art"
[Chorus]
G
It took me 21 years to see it this clear
Cmaj7
Their story's wrong and it's not worth the tears
Em D Cmaj7
I am worth something
D
And I'm done acting
G
And how many times did I never love
Cmaj7
The person in the mirror, but that's who I was
Em D Cmaj7
I am so much more
D Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7
And I finally surrendered the war
[Verse 2]
Em Cmaj7
She finally gets to high school
Amin7 Cmaj7
But she doesn't look like they do
Em Cmaj7
She's not outgoing
Amin7 Cmaj7
She writes these songs alone in her room and
Em Cmaj7
She finally gets to college
Amin7 Cmaj7
And thinks boys will be so different there, but
Em Cmaj7 Amin7 Cmaj7
She's disappointed by the way they talk and stare
Amin7 Cmaj7
Pretty soon, she hardly eats at all
Amin7 Cmaj7 Amin7
She's sick every day, puking in the bathroom stall
Cmaj7
And she wants to get better
Amin7 Cmaj7
'Cause she knows she's not who she sees in the mirror
[Chorus]
G
It took me 21 years to see it this clear
Cmaj7
Their story's wrong and it's not worth the tears
Em D Cmaj7
I am worth something
D
And I'm done acting
G
And how many times did I never love
Cmaj7
The person in the mirror, but that's who I was
Em D Cmaj7
I am so much more
Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7
And I finally surrendered the war
[Bridge]
Amin7
It all got too heavy
Em
And I wasn't healthy
G
I was weak to the bones too
D
I couldn't do this no more
Amin7
And I thought about life
Em
I gave to everyone else
G
And I'm still trying to convince myself
D
I deserve love as well
[Chorus]
G
It took me 21 years to see it this clear
Cmaj7
Their story's wrong and it's not worth the tears
Em D Cmaj7
I am worth something
D
And I'm done acting
G
And how many times did I never love
Cmaj7
The person in the mirror, but that's who I was
Em D Cmaj7
I am so much more
Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7
And I finally surrendered the war
