You Dont Know How Beautiful You Are

Intro:
F C F C

Verse I:
F                           C
We learn to wear these masks so young
F                       C
Like a prison that keeps joy from gettin’ through
F                         C
And an angry silence grips our tongues
 F                              C
These weapons and our walls become our tombs
    F                              C
Yes, we’re the kids who’ve seen the darkness
F                     C
Always looking for the light
F                           C
You fall in love and then the rains come down
F                       C
And only part of you survives

Chorus I:
     F                     C
Come surrender your hidden scars
           F                 C
Leave your weapons where they are
            F
You’ve been hiding
      Am
But I know your wounded heart
   F                                 C
And you don’t know how beautiful you are

Verse II:
F                         C
I’m tired of hiding who I really am
F                   C
Underneath these alibis
F                     C
I wanna know who you really are
F                      C
I wanna meet you here tonight
    F                           C
Yes, we’re not born with these defenses
F                           C
We’re not destined for this pain
F                            C
We hide ourselves and put the fig leaves on
      F                             C
But a mask could never cover up this shame

Chorus II:
                F                 C
And where we’re headed is a world apart
              F                    C
From where we started, we’ve come so far
             F
I’ll take my chances
        Am
Honey, you can have my heart
      F                                C
Cause you don’t know how beautiful you are

Bridge:
Am           C          F         G
Love Surrender
Am           C          F         G
Love surrender

Verse III:
       F                     Em
Future gardens from all this rain
       F                    C
Future flowers from present pain
            Am               C                  F
We’re bound together and our lives are bound to change
[F]                         C
You don’t know how beautiful you are

Chorus III:
            F                 C
And all the ashes of all these dreams
              F                C
I’ve seen the beauty of fallen leaves
            F            Am
And someday maybe we’ll find out what it means
    F                                 C
And you’ll find out how beautiful you are
F                                C
You’ll find out how beautiful you are
