What You Are Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I'm[G][A][D][A]
[G][D]
driving around town
[Bm]Kinda bored with the windo[G]ws rolled down
[A]See a girl on the bus[D] stop ben[A]ch
[G]Dressed to draw attention

[Verse 2]
[D]Hoping everyone will stare
If she [G]don't stand out she
thinks she'll disappear
[A]Wish [D]I could hold her, tell [A]her, show her
[G]What she wants is already [A]there

[Verse 3]
[D]A star is a star
It [G]doesn't have to try to shine
[A]Water will fall
A bird [G]just knows how to fly

[Verse 4]
You [D]don't have to tell
a flower how to bloom
Or [G]light how to fill up a room
You [Em]already are what you are
[G]And what you are is bea[D]utiful[G][Asus4]

[Verse 5]
[D]Heard a story the other day
[Bm]Took place[G] at the local VA[Bm]
[A]A father talking to his dying son
This [Bm]was his c[G]onversation

[Verse 6]
[D]"It's not supposed to be like this
You [G]can't go first I can[Bm]'t handle it."
The [A]boy said "Dad now don't you cry,
Re[G]member when I was a child what you
used to tell [A]me when I'd ask why?"

[Verse 7]
You'd [D]say gravity is gravity
It [G]doesn't try to pull you down
[A]Stone is stone
It can't [G]help but hold it's ground

[Verse 8]
The [D]wind just blows,
though you can't see
It's [G]everywhere like I'll always be
You [Em]already are what you are
[G]And what you are is str[D]ong enough

[Verse 9]
[Em]Look in the mirror
Now [Bm]that's another story to tell
[Em]I give love to others
But [A]I give myself hell

[Verse 10]
[Em]I'd have to tell myself
"In every [Bm]scene there's a
perfect plan"
[C]Everything I hoped to be
[G]I already am

[Verse 11]
A [D]flower is a flower
It [G]doesn't have to try to bloom
And [A]light [D]is light
Just knows [G]how to fill a room

[Verse 12]
[D]And dark is dark
So the [G]stars have a place to shine
The [A]tide goes out
So it [Asus4]can come back [G]another time

[Verse 13]
[D]Goodbye makes a love so sweet
And [G]love is love so it can teach us
We [Em]already are what [G]we are
And what [A]we are is [D]beautiful

[Verse 14]
And [G]strong enough
And [A]good [D]enough
And [G]bright [D]enough
