verse 1 
F                    C 
When you're feeling like a lost cause 
          Am               G 
And your voice cannot be heard 
F                 C 
When your heart takes a beating 
          Am                G 
From the fist of heartless words 
F                 C 
Don't you give up on the world now 
              Am               G 
'Cause there will be brighter days 

Pre-Chorus 
         F               C             Am      G 
You're hiding all the bruises on your heart 
       F                 C               Am     G 
But bruises aren't what make you who you are 

             F             C 
You're a treasure in a broken world 
        Am        G 
Who you are, who you are 
             F                C 
You shine brighter than a billion stars 
        Am        G 
Who you are, who you are 
       F               C         Am        G 
In a world where the truth is confusing 
         F               C               Am     G 
You are more than your scars and your bruises 

F C  Am G  F C  Am G 

verse 2 
F                    C 
In the middle of a hurricane 
               Am              G 
When you're feeling black and blue 
F              C 
I can see why you would want to 
     Am                 G 
Run away when life is cruel 
F                 C 
Don't you give up on the world now 
           Am            G 
There's a life ahead of you

You're hiding all the bruises on your heart 
       F                 C               Am     G 
But bruises aren't what make you who you are

You're a treasure in a broken world 
        Am        G 
Who you are, who you are

You shine brighter than a billion stars
