[D] [C] [Bm] [Bb] [D] [D7] [Bm] [Bb]
[D]Every day is so [C]wonderful
Then sudden[Bm]ly, it’s hard to [Bb]breathe
[D]Now and then I get [C]insecure
From all the [Bm]pain, I’m so [Bb]ashamed


[G]I am beautiful no [Em]matter what they say,
[D]Words can’t [C]bring me [Bm]down
[G]I am beautiful in [Em]every single way,
Yes, [D]words can’t [C]bring me [Bm]down, oh no
[Em]So don’t you bring me down [D]today


[D] [D7] [Bm] [Bb]


[D]To all your friends you’re de[C]lirious
So [Bm]consumed in all your [Bb]doom
[D]Trying hard to fill the [C]emptiness
The pieces [Bm]gone, left the puzzle un[Bb]done, is that the way it is?


[G]You are beautiful no [Em]matter what they say,
[D]Words can’t [C]bring you [Bm]down
[G]You am beautiful in [Em]every single way,
Yes, [D]words can’t [C]bring you [Bm]down, oh no
[Em]So don’t you bring me down to[D]day


[D]No matter what we [C]do, no matter what we [Bm]say
We’ll sing the song inside the [Bb]tune, full of beautiful mistakes


[D]And everywhere we [C]go the sun will always [Bm]shine
And tomorrow we might [Bb]wake up on the other side


[G]We are beautiful no [Em]matter what they say,
[D]Words won’t [C]bring us [Bm]down
[G]We are beautiful in [Em]every single way,
Yes, [D]words can’t [C]bring us [Bm]down, oh no
[Em]So don’t you bring me down [D]today


[D] [C] [Bm] [Bb] [D] [C] [Bm] [Bb] [D]
