Pearl

[Am]She is a pyramid

[Dm]But with him she's just a grain of sand

[G]This love's too strong like mice and men

Squeezing [Am]out the life that should be let in

 

She was a [Am]hurricane

But [Dm]now she's just a gust of wind

She used to [G]set the sails of a thousand ships

Was a [Am]force to be reckoned with

 

[F]She could [G]be a statue [Em]of liberty

She could [F]be a Joan of Arc

[F]But he's [G]scared of the light that's [Em]inside of her

So he [F]keeps her in the [C]dark

 

[C]Oh, she [G]used to be a [Am] [F]Pearl Ohh

[C]Yeah, she [G]used to rule the [Am] [F]world Ohh

[C]Can't [G]believe she's [Am]become a [F]shell of herself

[C]'Cause she [G]used to be a [Am]pearl

 

She was [Am]unstoppable

Moved [Dm]fast just like an avalanche

But [G]now she's stuck deep in cement

[Am]Wishing that they'd never ever met

 

[F]She could [G]be a statue [Em]of liberty

She could [F]be a Joan of Arc

[F]But he's [G]scared of the light that's [Em]inside of her

So he [F]keeps her in the [C]dark

 

[C]Oh, she [G]used to be a [Am] [F]Pearl Ohh

[C]Yeah, she [G]used to rule the [Am] [F]world Ohh

[C]Can't [G]believe she's [Am]become a [F]shell of herself

[C]'Cause she [G]used to be a [Am]

 

[Am]Do you know that

there's [Em]a way out,

There's [F]a way out

There's [F]a way out

[G]There's a way out

 

[Am]You don't have to be [Em]held down,

[F]Be held down

[F]Be held down

[G]Be held down

 

[C]'Cause I [G]used to be a [Am] [F]shell

[C]Yeah, I [G]let him rule my [Am]world

[F]My world, ohh, yeah

 

[C]But I [G]woke up and [Am]grew strong

And [F]I can still go [C]on

And [G]no one can take [Am]my [F]pearl

 

[C]You don't [G]have to be [Am] [F]shell, No

[C]You're the [G]one that rules your [Am] [F]world, ohh

[C]You are [G]strong and [Am]you'll learn

That [F]you can still go [C]on

And you'll [G]always be a [F]pearl

She is [Am]unstoppable
