^Bm Once ^Bm/Aupon a tim^Gmaj7e there was a ^F#7susgirl. ^Bm In her e^Bm/Aarly ye^Gmaj7ars she had to ^F#7suslearn ^Bm How to ^Bm/Agrow up living in a^Gmaj7 war that she called^F#7sus home Bm Bm/A Gamj7 F#7sus Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm ^Em It hurt me to see the pain ^Bm across my mother's face ^Em Everytime my father's fist would ^F# Put her in her place ^G Hearing all the yelling I would ^Bmcry up in my room ^G Hoping it would be over ^F#soon...

^G Bruises fade, father, but the ^Dpain remains the same ^G And I still remember how you ^Dkept me so afraid ^G Strength is my mother, for all the ^Dlove she gave And ev'ry ^Amorning that I wake, I look ^Emback at yesterday And I'm o^Bmk... ^{Bm/A Gmaj7 F#7sus}

^Bm I often ^Bm/Awonder w^Gmaj7hy I carry all this ^F#7susguilt, Bm Bm/A Gamj7 F#7sus When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I built ^Em Shadows stir at night through a ^Bmcrack in the door ^Em The echo of a broken child^F# screaming "please, no more" ^G Daddy, don't you understand the ^Bmdamage you have done? ^G For you it's just a memory, but for ^F#me it still lives on...

^G Bruises fade father but the ^Dpain remains the same ^G And I still remember how you ^Dkept me so afraid ^G Strength is my mother for all the ^Dlove she gave And ev'ry ^Amorning that I wake, I look ^Emback at yesterday...

^C It's not so e^G/Basy to forg^Amet ^C All the m^G/Barks you left^Am along her neck ^C When I was thro^G/Bwn against cold sta^Amirs ^C And ev'ry da^G/By afraid to c^Amome home, In fear of, what I might ^F#see next...

^G Bruises fade, father, but the ^Dpain remains the same ^G And I still remember how you ^Dkept me so afraid ^G Strength is my mother, for all the ^Dlove she gave And ev'ry ^Amorning that I wake, I look ^Emback at yesterday And I'm o^Bmk... ^{Bm/A Gmaj7 F#7sus}Mm... I'm ^Bmok...
