[Verse 1]

Em            Cmaj7            Amin7
They tell her from a young age
            Cmaj7
That beauty is likes
Em               Cmaj7           
And she believes them and tries 
          Amin7
with every pass
              Cmaj7
Her innocence they take and
Em                 Cmaj7
She starts to wear makeup
         Amin7                     
And wear clothes she thinks they'll
 Cmaj7
 like
    Em     Cmaj7
But nobody told her
          Amin7               Cmaj7
She had a pretty great person inside

Amin7                           
No one said "you're capable and 
Cmaj7
loving"
Amin7                   Cmaj7
"You're kind and you're smart"
Amin7                             
"You got passion in your eyes and 
Cmaj7
beauty in your smile"
Amin7                  Cmaj7
"And you are a work of art"


[Chorus]
           G
It took me 21 years to see it this 
clear
Cmaj7
Their story's wrong and it's not 
worth the tears
Em         D         Cmaj7
I am worth something
                 D
And I'm done acting
    G
And how many times did I never love
Cmaj7
The person in the mirror, but that's
 who I was

Em      D    Cmaj7
I am so much more
          D               Em     
And I finally surrendered the war
D  Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7



[Verse 2]

Em               Cmaj7
She finally gets to high school
Amin7                     Cmaj7
But she doesn't look like they do
Em        Cmaj7
She's not outgoing
           Amin7                   
She writes these songs alone in her
 Cmaj7
 room and
Em                  Cmaj7
She finally gets to college
           Amin7                   
And thinks boys will be so 
  Cmaj7
different there, but
Em                Cmaj7   Amin7 
She's disappointed by the way 
            Cmaj7
they talk and stare
Amin7                           
Pretty soon, she hardly eats at 
Cmaj7
all
      Amin7           Cmaj7       
She's sick every day, puking in 
           Amin7
the bathroom stall
                     Cmaj7
And she wants to get better
           Amin7                  
'Cause she knows she's not who she
Cmaj7
 sees in the mirror


[Chorus]

           G
It took me 21 years to see it this 
clear
Cmaj7
Their story's wrong and it's not 
worth the tears
Em         D         Cmaj7
I am worth something
             D
And I'm done acting
    G
And how many times did I never love
Cmaj7
The person in the mirror, but that's
 who I was
Em      D    Cmaj7
I am so much more
Em  D Cmaj7            Em  D  
And I finally surrendered the 
Cmaj7 Em D Cmaj7
war


[Bridge]
               Amin7
It all got too heavy
             Em
And I wasn't healthy
      G
I was weak to the bones too
           D
I couldn't do this no more
              Amin7
And I thought about life
          Em
I gave to everyone else
                     G
And I'm still trying to convince 
myself
          D
I deserve love as well


[Chorus]
           G
It took me 21 years to see it this 
clear
Cmaj7
Their story's wrong and it's not 
worth the tears
Em         D         Cmaj7
I am worth something
             D
And I'm done acting
    G
And how many times did I never love
Cmaj7
The person in the mirror, but that's
 who I was
Em      D    Cmaj7
I am so much more
      Em  D Cmaj7            Em  
And I finally surrendered the war
