G                         D
When I was younger, yesterday
Am                                 C
Things were simple, things were safe
Em                               C
I never dreamed that I could see a better life for you and me
Am                   C
Everyone told me to stay

G                         D
I held my breath, I made the leap
Am                        C
Opened a door I'd never seen
Em
I took a chance, I made it through
C
Now everything is coming true
Am                    C
And this is what it's like to be

           G
Out of my shell
            D                 Am
Just like a pearl  Luminous, rare
C
Light up the world
               G
Right in the swell
               D
Still the same girl
              Am             C
Making things better, better, better
             G
Light up the world

G                          D
Changing colors, making waves
Am                C
Something new in every day
Em
Wide awake, I live the dream
C
Beneath the stars, under the sea
            Am              C
And now the current carries me

G
Out of my shell
              D              Am
Just like a pearl  Luminous, rare
C
Light up the world
G
Right in the swell
               D
Still the same girl
              Am              C
Making things better, better, better
              Em
Light up the world
                      C
You know make it your own
Come home
              Em
Light up the world
D          C
Into the glow
G
When I was younger, yesterday
G
Out of my shell (out of my shell)
              D
Just like a pearl (just like a pearl)
          Am
Luminous, rare (luminous, rare)
             C
Light up the world (light up the world)
G
Right in the swell (right in the swell)
                D
Still the same girl (still the same girl)
               Am             C
Making things better, better, better
                G
Light up the world
