I can see that you're hurting beneath your new red dress.
Fmaj7Am
Beneath your sharp new shoes and you new tattos,
Fmaj7C
You are directionless.
Fmaj7CFmaj7C
And I know you've been working as hard as you can
Fmaj7Am
To pre-empt the question, the expectation,
Fmaj7C
And I understand.

G
So come on now, if we all pull together,
DmDsus2Am
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders,
C
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders,
Fmaj7
Just for a moment or two.
-verse 2-
Fmaj7CFmaj7C
From the moment the phone alarm breaks the morning in two,
Fmaj7Am
To the moment you close your bedroom door
Fmaj7C
And all that's left is you.
Fmaj7CFmaj7C
There were a dozen auditions you didn't quite get through,
Fmaj7Am
So many masks to wear, so much weight to bear,
Fmaj7C
But you were only ever you, you were glorious you,
C
You were glorious.
-Chorus-
G
So come on now, if we all pull together,
DmDsus2Am
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders,
C
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders,
Fmaj7
Just for a moment or two.
G
So come on now, if we all pull together,
DmDsus2Am
We could lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders,
C
Lift up the weight of the world from your shoulders,
Fmaj7
Just for a moment or two.
-BRIDGE-
AmGadd11Fadd9
And be glorious you, glorious you, glorious you.
AmGadd11
With your mixed up metaphors, your messed up make-up,
Fadd9
You're glorious you,
AmGadd11
With your tongue-tied tragedy and too small T-shirts,
Fadd9Am7Gadd11
Glorious you.
-verse 3-
Fmaj7CFmaj7C
So don't you worry, all things must end.
Fmaj7Am Fma7 C
There are sunlit uplands around the river bend.
-Chorus-
G

Just for a moment or two.
CFmaj7C
And be glorious you, glorious you, glorious you.
AmFmaj7C
You were glorious you, glorious you, glorious you.
