Verse I:F C
We learn to wear these masks so young
F C
Like a prison that keeps joy from gettinā through
F C
And an angry silence grips our tongues
F C
These weapons and our walls become our tombs
F C
Yes, weāre the kids whoāve seen the darkness
F C
Always looking for the light
F C
You fall in love and then the rains come down
F C
And only part of you survives
Chorus I: F C
Come surrender your hidden scars
F C
Leave your weapons where they are
F
Youāve been hiding
Am
But I know your wounded heart
F C
And you donāt know how beautiful you are
Verse II:F C
Iām tired of hiding who I really am
F C
Underneath these alibis
F C
I wanna know who you really are
F C
I wanna meet you here tonight
F C
Yes, weāre not born with these defenses
F C
Weāre not destined for this pain
F C
We hide ourselves and put the fig leaves on
F C
But a mask could never cover up this shame
Chorus II: F C
And where weāre headed is a world apart
F C
From where we started, weāve come so far
F
Iāll take my chances
Am
Honey, you can have my heart
F C
Cause you donāt know how beautiful you are
Bridge:Am C F G

Future gardens from all this rain

Future flowers from present pain

Chorus III: F C
And all the ashes of all these dreams

Iāve seen the beauty of fallen leaves

And someday maybe weāll find out what it means

And youāll find out how beautiful you are
