What You Are by Jewel
What You Are
Capo:no capo
D - Em9
D
I'm driving around town
Em9
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
D
See a girl on a bus stop bench
G
Dressed to draw attention
D
Hoping everyone will stare
Em9
If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear
D/C#
I wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
G A
What she wants is already there
D
A star is a star
Em9
It doesn't have to try to shine
D/C#
Water will fall
G
A bird just knows how to to fly
D
You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
D/C#
Or light how to fill up a room
Em
You already are what you are and what you are
D - Em9 - D
Is beautiful
D
Heard a story the other day
Em9
Took place at the local VA
D
A father talking to his dying son
G
This was his conversation
D
It's not supposed to be like this
Em9
You can't go first I can't handle it
D/C#
The boy said Dad now don't you cry,
G A
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why?
D
(You'd say) Gravity is gravity
Em9
It doesn't try to pull you down
D/C#
Stone is stone
G
It can't help but hold its ground
D
The wind just blows, though you can't see
D/C#
It's everywhere like I'll always be
Em
You already are what you are
D - Em9 - D
And what you are is strong enough
Em
Look in the mirror
Bm
Now that's another story to tell
Em
I give love to others
A
But I give myself hell
Em
I have to tell myself
Bm
In every seed there's a perfect plan
Em9
Everything I hoped to be
G
I already am
D
A flower is a flower
Em9
It doesn't have to try to bloom
D/C#
And light is light
G
Just knows how to fill a room
D
And dark is dark
Em9
So the stars have a place to shine
D/C#
The tide goes out
G
So it can come back another time
D
Goodbye makes a love so sweet
D/C#
And love is love so it can teach us
Em
We already are what we are
D - Em9 - D
And what we are is beautiful
D
And strong enough
D
And good enough
D - Em9 - D
And bright enough

I think it repeats for other verses & chords, but unfortunately I didn't figure
out the bridge.
Heard a story the other day
Took place at the local VA
A father talking to his dying son
This was his conversation
“It’s not supposed to be like this
You can’t go first I can’t handle it”
The boy said “Dad now don’t you cry,
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I’d ask why?”
(You’d say) Gravity is gravity
It doesn’t try to pull you down
Stone is stone
It can’t help but hold its ground
The wind just blows, though you can’t see
It’s everywhere like I’ll always be
You already are what you are
And what you are is strong enough
Look in the mirror
Now thatss another story to tell
I give love to others
But I give myself hell
I’d have to tell myself
“In every scene there’s a perfect plan”
Everything I hoped to be
I already am
A flower is a flower
It doesn’t have to try to bloom
And light is light
Just knows how to fill a room
And dark is dark
So the stars have a place to shine
The tide goes out
So it can come back another time
Goodbye makes a love so sweet
And love is love so it can teach us
We already are what we are
And what we are is beautiful
And strong enough
And good enough
And bright enough
