She is a pyramid

But with him she's just a grain of sand

This love's too strong like mice and men

Squeezing out the life that should be let in

She was a hurricane

But now she's just a gust of wind

She used to set the sails of a thousand ships

Was a force to be reckoned with

F G Em

She could be a statue of liberty

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

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

Moved fast just like an avalanche

But now she's stuck deep in cement

Wishing that they'd never ever met

F G Em

She could be a statue of liberty

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

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

Do you know that

there's a way out,

There's a way out

Am Em

You don't have to 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

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

C G Am F

You don't have to be shell, No

C G Am F

You're the one that rules your world, ohh

C G Am

You are strong and you'll learn

F C

That you can still go on

G F

And you'll always be a pearl

She is unstoppable
