FAm She just wants to be F Beautiful she goes Am Unnoticed she knows GF No limits she craves Am Attention she praises
An image F She prays to be F Sculpted by the sculptor
F Oh she don't see Am The light that's shining F Deeper than the eyes can find it Am Maybe we have made her blind GF So she tries to cover up her pain Am And cut her woes away F Cause covergirls don't cry
After their face is made
F But there's a hope Am That's waiting for you in the dark F You should know you're beautiful Am Just the way you are GF And you don't have to change a thing Am The world could change its heart F No scars to your beautiful F We're stars and we're beautiful GFAm Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh GFAm Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh GF And you don't have to change a thing Am The world could change its heart F No scars to your beautiful F We're stars and we're beautiful
Am She has dreams to be F An envy so she's
Starving you know AmGF covergirls eat nothing she says Am Beauty is pain and there's beauty in everything F What's a little bit of hunger
I could go a little while longer F She fades away GF She don't see her perfect Am She don't understand she's worth it F Or that beauty goes deeper than the surface Am Oh Oh G Oh oh F So to all the girls that's hurting Am Let me be your mirror F Help you see a little bit clearer
The light that shines within
F There's a hope Am That's waiting for you in the dark F You should know you're beautiful Am Just the way you are GF And you don't have to change a thing Am The world could change its heart F No scars to your beautiful F We're stars and we're beautiful GFAm Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh GFAm Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh GF And you don't have to change a thing Am The world could change its heart F No scars to your beautiful F We're stars and we're beautiful
No better you than the you that you are No better you than the you that you are
No better life than the life we're living No better life than the life we're living
No better time for your shine you're a star No better time for your shine you're a star
Oh you're beautiful oh you're beautiful
F There's a hope Am That's waiting for you in the dark F You should know you're beautiful Am Just the way you are GF And you don't have to change a thing Am The world could change its heart F No scars to your beautiful F We're stars and we're beautiful GFAm Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh GFAm Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh GF And you don't have to change a thing Am The world could change its heart F No scars to your beautiful F We're stars and we're beautiful
