Tone: [A]
Part 1:
I'd [A]like for my value to be more than skin deep
But it [Gbm]seems that's a [E]foolish re[D]request
I [A]wish that I saw myself how everyone sees
But my [Gbm]bar is stuck [E]higher than the [D]rest
I'm [Gbm]tired of [E]squeezing my[D]myself in a mold
I'm [Gbm]tired of [E]dreading the [D]day I grow old
And [Gbm]wrinkles that [E]should tell a [D]million stories
Instead are the reason the[E]they ignore me
The [A]years of my youth are slowly slipping by
And my [Gbm]image is [E]closely re[D]related
I'm [A]stuck in a body that makes me want to cry
Yet I [Gbm]envy what [E]years ago I [D]hated
Cause [Gbm]I've tried to [E]love myself since [D]I was thirteen
But I'll [A]never be [E]like what I [D]see on my screen
Cause the [Gbm]standard's im[Db7]impossible, and [Gbm]everyone knows
And [B]yet the dysphoria [E]gr[Db]grows
They [Gbm]say beauty comes in a[Dmmaj7]any shape or size
And [A]then sell us "fixes" to be [B]easy on the eyes
I'm [D]sick and I'm tired of their [Dm]pandering lies
And I [E]wish I didn't worry about this all the time
Part 2:
I'd [A]like for my value to be more than skin deep
For what's [Gbm]inside to [E]be more worth[D]worthwhile
I [A]like being creative, but I'm a night owl when I sleep
And I [Gbm]really like [E]making people [D]smile
I've [Gbm]never fit [E]in almost [D]anywhere
But [Gbm]frankly, I [E]really don't [D]care, somewhat...
I [A]like being [E]different, but that [D]doesn't apply to my [E]looks, some[E7]somehow
I'm [A]more than an object; I'm [B]a human being
And [D]that's al[E]alright with [A]me
I'm more than an object; I'm [B]a human being
And [D]that's how [E]it should [A]be
I'm [Gbm]more than a flower to be [Dmmaj7]plucked at the stem
Where the [A]rare beauties prosper
And the [B]weeds are poisoned
I [D]know it takes time to accept all my flaws
But [Dm]maybe my self esteem's [E7]not a lost cause
I'd [A]like for my value to be more than skin deep
And one [D]day, for [E]me, it can [A]be
