Pearl Ukulele chords by Katy Perry

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

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
          Am
Squeezing out the life that should be let in


          Am
She was a hurricane
    Dm
But now she's just a gust of wind
            G
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships
      Am
Was a force to be reckoned with

F          G            Em
She could be a statue of liberty
          F
She could be a Joan of Arc
F          G                         Em
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
      F                C
So he keeps her in the dark


C        G           Am  F
Oh she used to be a Pearl Ohh
C          G               Am   F
Yeah she used to rule the world Ohh
C      G            Am       F
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
C          G            Am
Cause she used to be a pearl


        Am
She was unstoppable
         Dm
Moved fast just like an avalanche
     G
But now she's stuck deep in cement
     Am
Wishing that they'd never ever met



F          G            Em
She could be a statue of liberty
          F
She could be a Joan of Arc
F          G                         Em
But he's scared of the light that's inside of her
      F                C
So he keeps her in the dark


C        G           Am  F
Oh she used to be a Pearl Ohh
C          G               Am   F
Yeah she used to rule the world Ohh
C      G            Am         F
Can't believe she's become a shell of herself
C          G            Am
Cause she used to be a

There's a way out
        F
There's a way out

There's a way out


Am                   Em

F
Be held down
G
Be held down


C        G            Am  F
Cause I used to be a shell

F

C     G           Am
But I woke up and grew strong
     F              C
And I can still go on
     G              Am F
And no one can take my pearl
