More Than Skin Deep

Part 1:
    A
I'd like for my value to be more than skin deep
       Gbm            E         D
But it seems that's a foolish request
  A
I wish that I saw myself how everyone sees
       Gbm          E               D
But my bar is stuck higher than the rest
    Gbm      E           D
I'm tired of squeezing myself in a mold
    Gbm      E            D
I'm tired of dreading the day I grow old
    Gbm           E             D
And wrinkles that should tell a million stories
   (nc)                       E
Instead are the reason they ignore me
    A
The years of my youth are slowly slipping by
       Gbm      E         D
And my image is closely related
    A
I'm stuck in a body that makes me want to cry
      Gbm       E           D
Yet I envy what years ago I hated
      Gbm           E                 D
Cause I've tried to love myself since I was thirteen
         A        E           D
But I'll never be like what I see on my screen
          Gbm          Db7           Gbm
Cause the standard's impossible, and everyone knows
    B                 E Db
And yet the dysphoria grows
     Gbm                  Dmmaj7
They say beauty comes in any shape or size
    A                          B
And then sell us "fixes" to be easy on the eyes
    D                           Dm
I'm sick and I'm tired of their pandering lies
      E
And I wish I didn't worry about this all the time

Part 2:
    A
I'd like for my value to be more than skin deep
           Gbm       E            D
For what's inside to be more worthwhile
  A
I like being creative, but I'm a night owl when I sleep
      Gbm         E             D
And I really like making people smile
     Gbm       E         D
I've never fit in almost anywhere
    Gbm        E            D
But frankly, I really don't care, somewhat...
  A          E                   D                   E          E7
I like being different, but that doesn't apply to my looks, somehow
    A                        B
I'm more than an object; I'm a human being
    D        E          A
And that's alright with me
                             B
I'm more than an object; I'm a human being
    D          E         A
And that's how it should be
    Gbm                      Dmmaj7
I'm more than a flower to be plucked at the stem
          A
Where the rare beauties prosper
        B
And the weeds are poisoned
  D
I know it takes time to accept all my flaws
    Dm                     E7
But maybe my self esteem's not a lost cause
    A
I'd like for my value to be more than skin deep
        D        E          A
And one day, for me, it can be
