Beautiful

&quot;Beautiful&quot; is a song written and produced by Linda Perry and recorded by American singer-songwriter Christina Aguilera for her second studio album, Stripped (2002). It is a cello-driven, classically-flavored ballad in which its protagonist deals with hurtful statements made against her that cause her to feel insecure and have low self-esteem.

Back To Basics

Verse 1:
E
Look at me
        C#m
You may think you see
      F#m
Who I really am
                 E    B
But you'll never know me
E
Every day
        C#m         D
It's as if I play a part
G
Now I see
     Em
If I wear a mask
      Am
I can fool the world
Cm                   G
But I cannot fool my heart

Chorus:
G           Em
Who is that girl I see
D       C        Cm
Staring straight back at me
G    D    Em   Am
When will my reflection show
Cm         G
Who I am inside

Verse 2:
E
I am now
     C#m
In a world where I
        F#m
Have to hide my heart
             E     B
And what I believe in
G
But somehow
        Em
I will show the world
         Am
What's inside my heart
Cm                     G
And be loved for who I am


Chorus:
G           Em
Who is that girl I see
D       C        Cm
Staring straight back at me
G   D  Em   Am
Why is my reflection
C       F       D
Someone I don't know

G         Em
Must I pretend that I'm
D       C    Cm
Someone else for all time
G    D    Em   Am
When will my reflection show
Cm       C
Who I am inside


          Em                 Am      D
There's a heart that must be free to fly
     Em           Bm               Am     Cm
That burns with a need to know the reason why


G           Em
Why must we all conceal
D       C     Cm
What we think how we feel
G    D     Em   Am
Must there be a secret me
    F         D
I'm forced to hide
G          Em
I won't pretend that I'm
D       C    Cm
Someone else for all time

G    D    Em   Am
When will my reflection show
Cm         G
Who I am inside

G    D    Em   Am
When will my reflection show
Cm         G
Who I am inside

Once you find your center

And you haven't

got a clue

Somehow I'll make a man

This guy's got 'em

knew how to swim

the coursing river

Sweet love, sweet love

Trapped in your love

Free me, free us

You're all I need when I'm holding you tight

If you walk away I will suffer tonight

So much, so young 
     D            Em 
I've faced on my own

Walls I built up became my home 
      Am                G                  D  Em 
I'm strong and I'm sure there's a fire in us

Sweet love, so pure 
 B             Em                       C 
I catch my breath with just one beating heart 
        B         A                         G 
And I brace myself, please don't tear this apart 

G                    B

I am bound to you 

I am bound to 

D                       B 
Suddenly the moment's here 
               Em 
I embrace my fears 
                                          A 
All that I have been carrying all these years 

Do I risk it all 
                             D   B 
Come this far just to fall, fall

A                                C
I've been standing where you left me

G                               D
Praying that you'd come and get me

A                           C
But now I've found my second wind

G                     D
Now I found my second skin

       A                 C
Well I know what you were thinking

                  G               D
You thought you'd watch me fade away

         A               C
When you broke me into pieces

      G                 D
But I gave each piece a name

{Chorus}
             A      C
One of me is wi-----se---r
             G        D
One of me is stro-----ng--er
One of me is a fighter
And there's a thousand faces of me
And we're gonna rise up
And we're gonna rise up
For every time you broke me
Well you're gonna face an army
Army of me

Verse2
Welcome to my revolution
All your walls are breaking down
It's time you had a taste of losing
Time the table's turned around
I see a glimpse of recognition
But it's too late ugh it's too late
And what you though was your best decision
Just became your worst mistake

Chorus
One of me is wiser
One of me is stronger
One of me is a fighter
And there's a thousand faces of me
And we're gonna rise up
And we're gonna rise up
For every time you broke me
Well you're gonna face an army



BRIDGE:
So how does it feel
To know that I beat you
That I can defeat you
Oh how does it feel
Cause it sure feels sweeter
It sure feels sweeter to me


Chorus
Now that I'm wiser
Now that I'm stronger
Now that I'm a fighter
There's a thousand faces of me
And I'm gonna rise up
Yeah I'm gonna rise up
For every time you broke me
There's a thousand faces of me
And I'm gonna rise up
Yeah I'm gonna rise up
For every time you broke me
You're gonna face an army
Army of me

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café 

      E            B    G#m
La la la la la la la la Yeah, 
     F#                      E       B   F#
I'm going where the people know my name

A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

when you get yourself depressed

because you think you can't do your best

when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

Overreacting

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

It takes a while to get used to the rhythm. In the verse the
time signature goes 3/4 for 2 bars then 2/4 for 1 bar and then
repeats.
