Am 
She is a pyramid 
         Dm 
But with him shes just a grain of sand 
     Em 
This loves too strong like mice and men 
          F 
Squeezing out the life that should be let in 

Am 
She was a hurricane (cane-cane-cane) 
    Dm 
But now shes just a gust of wind 
            Em 
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships 
      F 
Was a force to be reckoned with 

(pré-Refrão) 
          F 
She could be a Statue of Liberty 
          G 
She could be a Joan of Arc 
         Em 
But hes scared of the light inside of her 
      Am 
So he keeps her in the dark 

C       G            Am       Em 
Oh, she used to be a pearl oooh 
C        G                Am       Em 
Yeah she used to rule the world, oooh 
      C             G        Am       Em 
Cant believe shes become a shell of herself 
C         G            Am    Em 
Cause she used to be a pearl

Am 
She was unstoppable 
     Dm 
Move fast just like an avalanche 
        Em 
But now shes stuck deep in cement 
        F 
Wishing that they never, ever met 

(pré-Refrão)

                 Em                           Am 
Do you know that theres a way out, theres a way out 
          Em                        Am 
Theres a way out, theres a way out 
                  Em               Am 
You dont have to be held down, be held down 
            Em           Am 
Be held down, be held down

C       G            Am    Em 
Cause I used to be a shell 
C       G            Am          F 
Yeah, I let him rule my world, my world, oh yeah 
C                 G               Am               Em 
But I woke up and grew strong and I can still go on 
C      G              Am 
And no one can take my 
Em 
Pearl 
C         G            Am      Em 
You dont have to be a shell … nooooo 
C          G              Am           Em 
Youre the one that rules your world … ooooh 
C                  G                 Am                Em 
You are strong and youll learn that you can still go on 
C          G         Am 
And youll always be a 
Em 
A pearl 

Am 
She is unstoppable
