Am She is a pyramid Dm But with him she's just a grain of sand G This love's too strong like mice and men Am Squeezing out the life that should be let in Am She was a hurricane Dm But now she's just a gust of wind G She used to set the sails of a thousand ships Am Was a force to be reckoned with F G Em She could be a statue of liberty F She could be a Joan of Arc F G Em But he's scared of the light that's inside of her F C So he keeps her in the dark Chorus: C G Am F Oh, she used to be a Pearl... Ohh C G Am F Yeah, she used to rule the world... Ohh C G Am F Can't believe she's become a shell of herself C G Am 'Cause she used to be a pearl She was unstoppable Move fast just like an avalanche But now she’s stuck deep in cement Wishing that they never ever met She could be a Statue of Liberty She could be a Joan of Arc But he’s scared of the light that’s inside of her So he keeps her in the dark Chorus Am Do you know that G there's a way out, F There's a way out Dm There's a way out There's a way out You don't have to be held down, Be held down Be held down Be held down C G Am F 'Cause 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 Dm F And no one can take my pearl Chorus: You don’t have to be a shell, no You're the one that rules your world, oh You are strong and you'll learn that you can still go on And you'll always be a, a pearl Am She is unstoppable You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  Dm  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
