Intro
D    G  A  D


Verse 1
D
You're standing at your bathroom mirror
                        G
Cryin' "What did I do?" tears
                                      A
Your friends are out and you're right here
D                            A
 There's a party, you didn't know
                             G
You just found out from your phone
                         A
Did they not want you to go?


Pre-Chorus
Bm A         G
Oh yeah, you feel that twisting knife
Bm    A         G
Oh, I know it ain't right


Chorus
D
Fires burn up canyons
       A
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Em7                             G
Words can make a mockingbird forget they're born to sing
D
Lies can break a fragile heart
    A
And doubt can crush your dreams
           Em        D/F#    G
But honey, just take it from me
                     A         D
The world is hard on beautiful things


Interlude
A  D


Verse 2
                         A
You're pretty and you're smart
                   G
God made a work of art
                           A
Girl, don't pick yourself apart
D                          A
 And quit wondering why he did it
                        G
Nothin' bout you needs fixin'
G
It ain't what you are
             A
It's what he isn't


Pre-Chorus
Bm    A               G
Oh, I know it don't feel fair
Bm    A               G
Oh, I can't count the times I've been there


Chorus
D
Fires burn up canyons
       A
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Em7                             G
Words can make a mockingbird forget they're born to sing
D
Lies can break a fragile heart
    A
And doubt can crush your dreams
           Em        D/F#    G
But honey, just take it from me
                     A         D
The world is hard on beautiful things


Bridge
    A                   G
You shine it's gonna be alright
                A       D
You're gonna be alright
    A                   G
You shine it's gonna be alright
                A
You're gonna be alright


Chorus
D
Fires burn up canyons
       A
A hurricane can wreck a beach
Em                           G
Come on pretty mockingbird I wanna hear you sing
D
Lies can break a fragile heart
    A
And doubt can crush your dreams
           Em        D/F#    G
But honey, just take it from me
Em        D        G
Just hold on, just breeze
                     A         D
The world is hard on beautiful things


Outro
    A                   G
You shine it's gonna be alright
                A
You're gonna be alright
