[Verse]
                              DbWhen you grow to be someone's sister
                            AbIf you can overcome the barriers
                                Eb                    CmYou might find yourselves to be sharing an incredible power
                          DbIf you can light up each other
                       AbThat's the necessary secret
                     Cm   CdimIf you really do need it
                                     DbYou can have your own hidden world together

[Verse]
                  AbBut my body's not me
                 EbIt won't hold my shape
                      DbYou can't even see my armour

But it's shimmering like water
                         AbAnd it's heavy like the ocean
                     CAnd yeah it holds me down but
                    AbI still have enough power
                                 DbAnd I can still lift it up on my shoulders

                     AbBut my body's not me
                       CmIt won't hold my shape
                      DbYou can't even see my armour

But it's shimmering like water
                        AbAnd it's heavy like the ocean
                          CmAnd yeah it drags me down but
                    DbI still have enough power

And I can still lift it up on my shoulders

                        AbWhen my mind shuts down
                       EbIn the most incredible pain
