Jewel – What You Are (Guitar)

E
I'm driving around town

Dbm
Kinda bored with the windows rolled down

E
See a girl on a bus stop bench

A
Dressed to draw attention

E
Hoping everyone will stare

        Dbm
If she don't stand out she thinks she'll disappear

B                                  
Wish I could hold her, tell her, show her

A                            B
What she wants is already there

   E
A star is a star

     A
It doesn't have to try to shine

 B
Water will fall

        A
A bird just knows how to to fly

     E
You don't have to tell a flower how to bloom

     A
Or light how to fill up a room

      F#m                 A
You already are what you are

                     E           
and what you are is beautiful

E                           
Heard a story the other day

     Dbm
Took place at the local VA

   E
A father talking to his dying son

      A
This was his conversation

 E
"It's not supposed to be like this

    Dbm
You can't go first I can't handle it"

     B 
The boy said "Dad now don't you cry,

  A                                           B
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why?"

             E        
(You'd say) Gravity is gravity

    A
It doesn't try to pull you down

B
Stone is stone

          A
It can't help but hold its ground

     E
The wind just blows, though you can't see

     A
It's everywhere like I'll always be

       F#m                A
You already are what you are

                      E
And what you are is strong enough

F#m
Look in the mirror

      Dbm
Now that's another story to tell

F#m
I give love to others

    B
But I give myself hell

F#m
I'd have to tell myself

           Dbm
"In every scene there's a perfect plan"

D          
Everything I hoped to be

A
I already am

   E
A flower is a flower

    A
It doesn't have to try to bloom

     B
And light is light

           A
Just knows how to fill a room

    E
And dark is dark

         A
So the stars have a place to shine

     B
The tide goes out

                A
So it can come back another time

E       
Goodbye makes hello so sweet

     A                   
And love is love so it can teach us

      F#m               A
We already are what we are

             B      E
And what we are is beautiful

      Dbm
And strong enough

     E
And good enough

     Dbm           E
And bright enough
