Katy Perry - Pearl: chords

          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

Chorus:
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

She was unstoppable
Move fast just like an avalanche
But now she’s stuck deep in cement
Wishing that they never ever met

She could be a Statue of Liberty
She could be a Joan of Arc
But he’s scared of the light that’s inside of her
So he keeps her in the dark

Chorus

Am
Do you know that
           G
there's a way out,
           F
There's a way out
          Dm
There's a way out
There's a way out

You don't have to be held down,
Be held down
Be held down
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             Dm F
And no one can take my pearl

Chorus:
You don’t have to be a shell, no
You're the one that rules your world, oh
You are strong and you'll learn that you can still go on
And you'll always be a, a pearl

       Am
She is unstoppable
