Little Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G][Em]
[G]My friends always tel[Em]l me
I get [G]carried away
Sometimes I spit when I talk cuz I have
so much to say
[Em]They don't seem to hear [G]me but
I guess it's ok
It's not their fault my minds working
overtime with no pay
They [Em]always say the [G]same things
and it's starting to get old
That my head can't get sick
It can't catch a cold
I [Em]scratch and I [G]pick
My insecurities poke
My fears, my anxiety,
a voice that provokes
Take a [Em]walk, clear your [G]head, breathe
in count to ten
Cuz on first page of life written in [Em]red
[G]You'll never make it here
if you don't learn how to bend

[Verse 2]
Don't speak unless [G]you're spoken
to [C]little girl
[Em]Someday you will find
your place [C]in the world
But [G]ladies don't get dirty
[C]Someday you'll learn to fill
the empty [Em]space
With empty [C]faith
Everyday feels [Em]like a battle

[Verse 3]
[G]
and I always get hurt
I was frequently told violence
was never the answer
But [Em]life doesn't abide [G]by the rules
of a child
I don't know how to fight
only taught how to surrender
There's a certain [Em]kind of dark
[G]ness that does a reaping
It usually takes you right before you
are sleeping
Is it the [Em]crack in the [G]door that it finds a way
to creep in?
Or the crack in your brain that
wants you to drop dead
I [Em]don't remember [G]what it's like
to see with clear vision
I awake every morning like the
dead has arisen
I don't [Em]have to think this [G]body of
mine is a prison
You don't control me I
just gotta find the light switch
But the [Em]more that I [G]look the further
I get
You're the only thing about me
that needs to be fixed
Cuz on the [Em]first page of life
[G]written in fine print
Stop looking for light live it instead
[C][Em]

[Verse 4]
My [C]mind [G]is[C][Em]
[C]a mess but I
love it none the less
They tell me to hush but
my words are all that's left
So on the last [Em]page of life written in gold
[C]Don't waste it always doing
what you're told
