[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
Squeezing [Am] out the life that should be let in
She was a [Am] hurricane
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 to be reckoned with
[F] She could [G] be a statue [Em] of liberty
She could [F] be a Joan of Arc
[F] But he's [G] scared of the light that's [Em] inside of her
So he [F] keeps her in the [C] dark
[C] Oh, she [G] used to be a [Am] [F] Pearl Ohh
[C] Yeah, she [G] used to rule the [Am] [F] world Ohh
[C] Can't [G] believe she's [Am] become a [F] shell of herself
[C] 'Cause she [G] used to be a [Am] pearl
She was [Am] unstoppable
Moved [Dm] fast just like an avalanche
But [G] now she's stuck deep in cement
[Am] Wishing that they'd never ever met
[F] She could [G] be a statue [Em] of liberty
She could [F] be a Joan of Arc
[F] But he's [G] scared of the light that's [Em] inside of her
So he [F] keeps her in the [C] dark
[C] Oh, she [G] used to be a [Am] [F] Pearl Ohh
[C] Yeah, she [G] used to rule the [Am] [F] world Ohh
[C] Can't [G] believe she's [Am] become a [F] shell of herself
[C] 'Cause she [G] used to be a [Am]
[Am] Do you know that
there's [Em] a way out,
There's [F] a way out
There's [F] a way out
[G] There's a way out
[Am] You don't have to be [Em] held down,
[F] Be held down
[F] Be held down
[G] Be held down
[C] 'Cause I [G] used to be a [Am] [F] shell
[C] Yeah, I [G] let him rule my [Am] world
[F] My world, ohh, yeah
[C] But I [G] woke up and [Am] grew strong
And [F] I can still go [C] on
And [G] no one can take [Am] my [F] pearl
[C] You don't [G] have to be [Am] [F] shell, No
[C] You're the [G] one that rules your [Am] [F] world, ohh
[C] You are [G] strong and [Am] you'll learn
That [F] you can still go [C] on
And you'll [G] always be a [F] pearl
She is [Am] unstoppable
