I can see that you're hurting beneath your new red dress.
Fmaj7 Am
Beneath your sharp new shoes and you new tattos,
Fmaj7 C
You are directionless.
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
And I know you've been working as hard as you can
Fmaj7 Am
To pre-empt the question, the expectation,
Fmaj7 C
And I understand.

So come on now, if we all pull together,

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-
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
From the moment the phone alarm breaks the morning in two,
Fmaj7 Am
To the moment you close your bedroom door
Fmaj7 C
And all that's left is you.
Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 C
There were a dozen auditions you didn't quite get through,
Fmaj7 Am
So many masks to wear, so much weight to bear,
Fmaj7 C
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,

-BRIDGE-
Am Gadd11 Fadd9
And be glorious you, glorious you, glorious you.
Am Gadd11
With your mixed up metaphors, your messed up make-up,
Fadd9
You're glorious you,
Am Gadd11
With your tongue-tied tragedy and too small T-shirts,
Fadd9 Am7 Gadd11
Glorious you.
-verse 3-
