Intro: A   E   A   D 
 
 
A 
 I can picture you the day you were born 
E                             F#m                  D 
 Baby girl in your mama's arms, destined for great things 
A 
 Crazy thing bout an angel like you 
E 
 All the things you know how to do 
    F#m                               D 
 And yet the world tries to clip your wings 
                     A               E 
 But you wouldn't let 'em, so baby go get 'em 
 
 
A                      E 
 Bust that ceiling out, the sky's the limit now 
F#m                      D 
 The world is changing fast 
A 
 Rare your head back and roar 
E 
 Like you ain't ever done before 
F#m                  D 
 It's your time at last 
            A 
 All you've been through ain't in vain 
           E 
 Come on baby make it rain down shattered glass  
 
A   E 
 
A 
 It's kind of fun for a guy like me 
E 
 Sitting here in your shotgun seat 
F#m                            D 
 Watching you leave 'em all in the dust 
               A     E 
 Because I believe in you 
         F#m                D 
 And I wanna see your dreams come true 
 
A                      E 
 Bust that ceiling out, the sky's the limit now 
F#m                       D 
 Time to make up for the past 
A 
 Rare your head back and roar 
E 
 Like you ain't ever done before 
F#m                         D 
 I wanna see you kick some ass 
        A 
 I'm so proud to know you, girl 
                     E                                        A 
 The most beautiful thing in the world is all this shattered glass 
 
D   A   D 
 
A   D 
 
 F#m                                       D 
 No time to waste, gotta make this moment yours 
                                        A 
 Got a whole lot of history to make up for 
 
                       E 
 So bust that ceiling out, the sky's the limit now 
F#m                     D 
 The world is changing fast 
             A 
 All you've been through ain't in vain 
          E                                 A 
 Come on baby make it rain down shattered glass 
 
D   A   E
