Fifteen, so sweet, you'd think, But she's got a secret.

Made up her mind, The day she came to find out that he left

I guess there's another girl

Wearing a sweater
Em C G Bm
She turns the radio on so no one hears what she's doing.
Em C G Bm
'Coz she's convinced herself he'll come back to her, when she's perfect.
CHORUS
Em C G Bm
She's just a girl, who doesn't know she's already beautiful.
Em C G Bm
One year ago, if you had seen her you would never know
Em C G
This would be her only out, for every time she's broken down, and hates

herself,
Em C G
For everything that's wrong in life, looks in the mirror to criticize, she'd
Bm
rather be beautiful than alive.
