Verse:
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
Verse:
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
Chorus:
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
Verse:
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
Chorus:
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
