Am
She is a pyramid  
Dm
But with him she's just a grain of sand  
G
This love's too strong like mice and men  
          Am
Squeezing out the life that should be let in  
 
 
          Am
She was a hurricane 
    Dm
But now she's just a gust of wind  
            G
She used to set the sails of a thousand ships  
      Am
Was a force to be reckoned with  
 
 
F          G            Em
She could be a statue of liberty  
          F
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  
 
 
        Am
She was unstoppable  
         Dm
Moved fast just like an avalanche  
     G
But now she's stuck deep in cement  
     Am
Wishing that they'd never ever met  
 
 
 
F          G            Em
She could be a statue of liberty  
          F
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

Am
Do you know that 
         Em
there's a way out,  
         F
There's a way out  
        F
There's a way out  
    G
There's a way out  
 
 
Am                   Em
You don't have to be held down,  
F
Be held down  
F
Be held down  
G
Be held down  
 
 
C        G            Am  F
'Cause I used to be a shell  
C       G               Am
Yeah, I let him rule my world  
F
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  
 
       Am
She is unstoppable
