G                         D 
When I was younger, yesterday 
Am                                 C 
Things were simple, things were safe 
Em                               C 
I never dreamed that I could see a better life for you and me 
Am                   C 
Everyone told me to stay 

G                         D 
I held my breath, I made the leap 
Am                        C 
Opened a door I'd never seen 
Em 
I took a chance, I made it through 
C 
Now everything is coming true 
Am                    C 
And this is what it's like to be 

           G 
Out of my shell 
            D                 Am 
Just like a pearl  Luminous, rare 
C 
Light up the world 
               G 
Right in the swell 
               D 
Still the same girl 
              Am             C 
Making things better, better, better 
             G 
Light up the world 

G                          D 
Changing colors, making waves 
Am                C 
Something new in every day 
Em 
Wide awake, I live the dream 
C 
Beneath the stars, under the sea 
            Am              C 
And now the current carries me 

G 
Out of my shell 
              D              Am 
Just like a pearl  Luminous, rare 
C 
Light up the world 
G 
Right in the swell 
               D 
Still the same girl 
              Am              C 
Making things better, better, better 
              Em 
Light up the world 
                      C 
You know make it your own 
Come home 
              Em 
Light up the world 
D          C 
Into the glow 
G 
When I was younger, yesterday 
G 
Out of my shell (out of my shell) 
              D 
Just like a pearl (just like a pearl) 
          Am 
Luminous, rare (luminous, rare) 
             C 
Light up the world (light up the world) 
G 
Right in the swell (right in the swell) 
                D 
Still the same girl (still the same girl) 
               Am             C 
Making things better, better, better 
                G 
Light up the world
