D5         

I'm driving around town

E5

Kinda bored with the windows rolled down

D5

See a girl on a bus stop bench

G5

Dressed to draw attention

D5

Hoping everyone will stare

E5

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

D5   

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

G5                        A5 

What she wants is already there





D5

A star is a star

E5

It doesn't have to try to shine

D5

Water will fall

G5

A bird just knows how to to fly

D5

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

D5

Or light how to fill up a room

E5

You already are what you are and what you are

D5 - E5  - D5

Is beautiful

D5
Heard a story the other day
E5
Took place at the local VA
D5
A father talking to his dying son
G5
This was his conversation
D5
It's not supposed to be like this
E5
You can't go first I can't handle it
D5
The boy said Dad now don't you cry,
G5                                            A5
Remember when I was a child what you used to tell me when I'd ask why?


             D5
(You'd say) Gravity is gravity
E5
It doesn't try to pull you down
D5
Stone is stone
G5
It can't help but hold its ground
D5
The wind just blows, though you can't see
D5
It's everywhere like I'll always be
E5
You already are what you are
                  D5 - E5 - D5
And what you are is strong enough



E5 

Look in the mirror

B5

Now that's another story to tell

E5

I give love to others

A5

But I give myself hell

E5

I have to tell myself

B5

In every seed there's a perfect plan

E5

Everything I hoped to be

G5

I already am


D5
A flower is a flower
E5
It doesn't have to try to bloom
D5
And light is light
G5
Just knows how to fill a room

D5
And dark is dark
E5
So the stars have a place to shine
D5
The tide goes out
G5
So it can come back another time

D5
Goodbye makes a love so sweet
D5
And love is love so it can teach us
E5
We already are what we are
                D5 - E5 - D5
And what we are is beautiful
D5
And strong enough
D5
And good enough
D5 - E5 - D5
And bright enough
