Verse 1
(C major) Daddy was a rocker,
a heavy metal (G major) musician
He'd (C major) beat you black and blue
if you tried to test his means
But the rock life kept a -callin',
a lock with (G major) a bottle of pills
So he'd (C major) leave his little girl
to fend for herself
Her mother was a smart one,
she saw it would hit (F major) no end
So (C major) she left that girl's daddy
to raise her (G major) girl herself
She took (C major) that strength of learning
and taught it to her girl
But it came out as a lashing,
no strength could be so cold
She was born into a household,
a family of fighters
Who would do as I said, not as I do,
was an (G major) often repeated phrase
Her moth (C major) ers were fighters,
and the neighbor boy a rapist
And her stepdad tried his best
but kept failing on the loans
This (A minor) little girl of six years
kep (C major) t looking for the good
With (F major) eyes so wide
you swear she (G major) hadn't seen a will so cold
She (A minor) kept her eyes looking on
the (C major) stars above her house
Hoping (G major) that one day
she might find (F major) herself a home (C major)
The time found that girl a teenager,
a punker and a scholar,
she found herself a boy
who (G major) she'd love more than he knew.
Togeth (C major) er they found each other,
found a (G major) world to love together,
and (C major) they carried on the way
teen (G major) ager (C major) s tend to do.
But one night he went swimming
and found him (E minor) self defenseless
Again (A minor) st the water's power (F major) ,
(G major) so it took him in
That (A minor) girl was fucking devastated
about (C major) the one she loved
As the boy was seeking
a (G major) piece
of her song too
(A minor) Saw the sky crack a million cracks,
the (C major) sun was a fucking sin
The world (F major) was a (G major) moratorium
for (F major) the (G major) way things could have been
So she (A minor) took herself to drinkin',
she (C major) took to fuckin' up
She (G major) spent the next ten
years looking for love
(A minor) This little girl of sixteen years
(C major) keeps looking for the good
with (G major) eyes so wide
Just where she has a (F major) seat,
a world so cold
(A minor) She kept her eyes lookin' up the
stars above (C major) her house
Hop (G major) ing that one day
she might find (F major) herself a home (C major)
She said she'd fought her boyfriend,
kept treating her like shit
On the night that I met her,
I could (G major) see it in her eyes
The shadows of a (C major) thousand kisses,
a (F major) thousand trees all remiss
But (C major) still that little girl kep (A minor) t (C major) going on
And (A minor) now she's here sitting,
smil (C major) ing the way she does
I (F major) find in the strength and courage
to (G major) have faith and love
And (A minor) every day I pinch myself,
make sure (C major) to be thankful for
The luck (A minor) of meeting a girl (G major) like (F major) her
(C major) The (A minor) luck of meeting a (G major) girl like (F major) her (C major)
