E MajorE
I'm driving around town
DbmDbm
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down
E MajorE
See a girl on a bus stop bench
A augmentedA
Dressed to draw attention
E MajorE
Hoping everyone will stare
    DbmDbm
If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear
BB
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her
A augmentedA              BB
What she wants is already there

  E MajorE
A augmentedA star is a star
   A augmentedA
It doesn't have to try to shine
 BB
Water will fall
    A augmentedA
A majorA bird just knows how to to fly
   E MajorE
You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom
   A augmentedA
Or light how to fill up a room
   F# minorF#m         A augmentedA
You already are what you are
           E MajorE
and what you are is beautiful

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