[Verse 1]
Cadd9              Em7
 She just wants to be beautiful
    Cadd9
She goes unnoticed,
    Em7      D
she knows no limits
    Cadd9
She craves attention,
    Em7
she praises an image
    Cadd9
She prays to be sculpted
by the sculptor

[Verse 2]
             Cadd9
Oh she don't see the
light that's shining
Em7
 Deeper than the eyes can find it
Cadd9
 Maybe we have made her blind,
    Em7      D                Cadd9
 so she tries to cover up her pain
                  Em7
And cut her woes away
                        Cadd9
'Cause covergirls don't cry
                   G
after their face is made

[Chorus]
              Cadd9
But there's a hope that's
                       Em7
waiting for you in the dark
                       Cadd9
You should know you're beautiful
                 Em7  D
just the way you are
                      Cadd9
And you don't have to change a thing,
                           Em7
the world could change its heart
                 Am7
No scars to your beautiful,
                      Em7   D
we're stars and we're beautiful

[Verse 3]
Cadd9              Em7
 She has dreams to be an envy
   Cadd9               Em7
So she's starving, you know,
            D
"Covergirls eat nothing"
    Cadd9
She says, "Beauty is pain and
                  Em7
there's beauty in everything,
what's a little bit of hunger?"
Cadd9
"I could go a little while longer",
she fades away

[Verse 4]
          Cadd9
She don't see she's perfect,
          Em7
she don't understand
she's worth it
        Cadd9
Or that beauty goes deeper than
                Em7    D
the surface, ah oh, ah oh
      Cadd9
So to all the girls that's
               Em7
hurting let me be your mirror
               Cadd9
Help you see a little bit clearer
    N.C.
The light that shines within

[Chorus]
              Cadd9
But there's a hope that's
                       Em7
waiting for you in the dark
                       Cadd9
You should know you're beautiful
                 Em7  D
just the way you are
                      Cadd9
And you don't have to change
a thing,
                           Em7
the world could change its heart
                 Am7
No scars to your beautiful,
                      Em7   D
we're stars and we're beautiful
      Cadd9        Em7
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
      Cadd9        Em7  D
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
                      Cadd9
And you don't have to change
a thing,
                           Em7
the world could change its heart
                 Am7
No scars to your beautiful,
                      Em7   D
we're stars and we're beautiful
