Capo 1
[Verse]
Em D
She lives in the shadow of a lonely girl
C
Body's so quiet you don't hear a word
B7
Always talking but you can't be heard
Em D
You can see it there if you catch her eye
C
You know she's brave but it's trapped inside
B7
Scared to talk but she don't know why
Em D
Wish I knew back then what I know now
C
Wish I could somehow go back in time
B7
And maybe listen to my own advice
[Chorus]
Em
I'd tell her to speak up
G
Tell her to shout out
D
Talk a bit louder
Am
Be a bit prouder
C
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
B7
Everything she doesn't see
Em
You gotta speak up
G
You gotta shout out
D Am
And know that right here right now
C
You could be beautiful, wonderful
B7
Anything you wanna be
Little me
[Verse]
Em D
Yeah, you got a lot of time to act your age
C
You can't write a book from a single page
B7
Hands of a clock only turn one way
Em D
Goin' too fast and risk it all
C
Can't be afraid to take a fall
B7
Felt so big but she looked so small
Em D
Wish I knew back then what I know now
C
Wish I could somehow go back in time
B7
And maybe listen to my own advice
[Chorus]
Em
I'd tell her to speak up
G
Tell her to shout out
D
Talk a bit louder
Am
Be a bit prouder
C
Tell her she's beautiful, wonderful
B7
Everything she doesn't see
Em
You gotta speak up
G
You gotta shout out
D Am
And know that right here right now
C
You could be beautiful, wonderful
B7
Anything you wanna be
