She could be a statue of liberty
       F
She could be a Joan of Arc
F       G                 Em
But heʼs scared of the light thatʼs inside of her
    F           C
So he keeps her in the dark

Oh, she used to be a Pearl... Ohh
C       G          Am  F
Yeah, she used to rule the world... Ohh
C    G        Am      F

Am
Do you know that
      Em

Am             Em
You donʼt have to be held down,

ʼCause I used to be a shell
C     G          Am
Yeah, I let him rule my world
F
My world, ohh, yeah

C   G       Am
But I woke up and grew strong
   F         C
And I can still go on
   G         Am F
And no one can take my pearl

You donʼt have to be shell, No

Youʼre the one that rules your world, ohh
C     G       Am
You are strong and youʼll learn
    F           C
That you can still go on
        G       F
And youʼll always be a pearl

     Am
She is unstoppable
