Intro

G C Em C

 You’re bGeautiful

 With the shiniest diamonds in yourC ears

 You can’t hear your mother – she’s crying in thEme other room

 She knows itC won’t be okay

Farther from her daughter with the coming of eachday

 So you pGick up your books, that you never read

 RCun off to school like a good drama queen

EmDo you care where you’re going, or know where you’ve been?

CBarely a woman, you’re 18 years in

AOur faith is placed in second chances

 ACs the angel and her deDmons dance it’s

CLike you’re 18Em years inD with nGo way oCut

 And you’re the sEmtar of the sDtory you dGon’t care aCbout

 Just a litEmtle girl in a Dbigger world turning Gupside-dCown

 Well, don’t’ you Emthrow it all aDway when no one’s hGere to pull youC out

EmAnd when you’re sCafe and sGound iDnside youEmr bed

 I know you dCream of thGings bigger than thDe things that yoEmu let live

 When you’re Csafe and Gsound Dinside your Embed

 I know you dCream of things GI, I know you drDeam 18 years Cin

Like you’re 18 years in with no way out

And you’re the star of the story you don’t care about

Just a little girl in a bigger world turning upside-down

Well, don’t’ you throw it all away when no one’s here to pull you out
