Intro: D Em9

D         

I'm driving around town

Em9

Kinda bored with the windows rolled down

D

See a girl on a bus stop bench

G

Dressed to draw attention

D

Hoping everyone will stare

Em9

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

D/C#   

I wish I could hold her, tell her, show her

G                        A 

What she wants is already there




D

A star is a star

Em9

It doesn't have to try to shine

D/C#

Water will fall

G

A bird just knows how to to fly

D

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

D/C#

Or light how to fill up a room

Em

You already are what you are and what you are

D - Em9  - D

Is beautiful

D
Heard a story the other day
Em9
Took place at the local VA
D
A father talking to his dying son
G
This was his conversation
D
It's not supposed to be like this
Em9
You can't go first I can't handle it
D/C#
The boy said Dad now don't you cry,
G                                            A
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why?

             D
(You'd say) Gravity is gravity
Em9
It doesn't try to pull you down
D/C#
Stone is stone
G
It can't help but hold its ground
D
The wind just blows, though you can't see
D/C#
It's everywhere like I'll always be
Em
You already are what you are
                  D - Em9 - D
And what you are is strong enough


Em 

Look in the mirror

Bm

Now that's another story to tell

Em

I give love to others

A

But I give myself hell

Em

I have to tell myself

Bm

In every seed there's a perfect plan

Em9

Everything I hoped to be

G

I already am

D
A flower is a flower
Em9
It doesn't have to try to bloom
D/C#
And light is light
G
Just knows how to fill a room

D
And dark is dark
Em9
So the stars have a place to shine
D/C#
The tide goes out
G
So it can come back another time

D
Goodbye makes a love so sweet
D/C#
And love is love so it can teach us
Em
We already are what we are
                D - Em9 - D
And what we are is beautiful
D
And strong enough
D
And good enough
D - Em9 - D
And bright enough
