Pearl

She is a (Am)pyramid, but with (Dm)him,

she's just a grain of sand.

This (G)love's too strong, like

Mice and Men, squeezing (Am)out the life that should be let in.

She was a hurricanecanecane, cane.

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 they to be reckoned with.

(F)She could (G)be a Statue of (Em)Liberty.

She could (F)be a Joan of Arc.

But he's (G)scared of the light that's inside (Em)of her,

so he (F)keeps her in the (C)dark.

Oh, she (G)used to be a (Am)pearl.

Oh. (C)Yeah, she (G)used to rule the (Am)world.

Oh.

(C)Can't (Gsus)believe she's (Am7)become a you (Fmaj9)shell of (C)herself.

She could (F)be a Joan of Arc.

But he's (G)scared of the light that's inside (Em)of her,

And you (G)used to be a (Am)pearl.

She was (G)unused to be a...

there's a (Fmaj7)way out, there's a way (Dm9)out,

my (F)world.
