[F] [Am] [G]
[F]She just wants to [Am]be, beautiful she [F]goes, unnoticed, she [Am]knows, no [G]limits she [F]craves
Attention, she [Am]praises, an image, she [F]prays to be, sculpted by the [F]sculptor


Oh, she don’t [F]see, the light that’s [Am]shining, deeper than the eyes can [F]find it
Maybe we have made her [Am]blind, so she [G]tries to cover up her [F]pain
And cut her woes [Am]away, ’cause covergirls don’t [F]cry, after their face is made


But there’s a [F]hope, that’s waiting for you in the [Am]dark, you should know you’re [F]beautiful
Just the way you [Am]are, and [G]you don’t have to [F]change a thing, the world could change its [Am]heart
No scars to your [F]beautiful, we’re stars and we’re [F]beautiful
[G]Oh oh [F]oh oh oh oh [Am]oh, [G]oh oh [F]oh oh oh oh [Am]oh
And [G]you don’t have to [F]change a thing, the world could change its [Am]heart
No scars to your [F]beautiful, we’re stars and we’re [F]beautiful


She has dreams to [Am]be, an envy, so [F]she’s, starving you know, [Am]covergirls eat [G]nothing she [F]says
“Beauty is pain and there’s beauty in [Am]everything, what’s a little bit of [F]hunger?
I could go a little while longer,” [F]she fades away, [G]she don’t [F]see her perfect,
She don’t [Am]understand she’s worth it, or that [F]beauty goes deeper than the surface, oh [Am]Oh, oh [G]oh
So to [F]all the girls that’s hurting, let me [Am]be your mirror,
Help you see a [F]little bit clearer, the light that shines within


There’s a [F]hope, that’s waiting for you in the [Am]dark, you should know you’re [F]beautiful
Just the way you [Am]are, and [G]you don’t have to [F]change a thing, the world could change its [Am]heart
No scars to your [F]beautiful, we’re stars and we’re [F]beautiful
[G]Oh oh [F]oh oh oh oh [Am]oh, [G]oh oh [F]oh oh oh oh [Am]oh
And [G]you don’t have to [F]change a thing, the world could change its [Am]heart
No scars to your [F]beautiful, we’re stars and we’re [F]beautiful


No better you than the you that you are, no better you than the you that you are
No better life than the life we’re living, no better life than the life we’re living
No better time for your shine, you’re a star, no better time for your shine, you’re a star
Oh, you’re beautiful, oh, you’re beautiful


there’s a [F]hope, that’s waiting for you in the [Am]dark, you should know you’re [F]beautiful
Just the way you [Am]are, and [G]you don’t have to [F]change a thing, the world could change its [Am]heart
No scars to your [F]beautiful, we’re stars and we’re [F]beautiful
[G]Oh oh [F]oh oh oh oh [Am]oh, [G]oh oh [F]oh oh oh oh [Am]oh
And [G]you don’t have to [F]change a thing, the world could change its [Am]heart
No scars to your [F]beautiful, we’re stars and we’re [F]beautiful
