Verse 1
G G 
 
A A 
 
F#m F#m 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
F#m F#m 
 
G G 
 
It's an
Bm Bm 
 
other day at school
Abdim Abdim 
 
G G 
 
And he's just walking  out the door
Got his rucksack on his back
And his feet dragging on the floor

Verse 2
Bm Bm 
 
Always late for when
he's questioned
Abdim Abdim 
 
G G 
 
He can't think    of what to say
Hides the bruises from the teachers
Hoping that they'd go away

Verse 3

Even though his mum and dad

Abdim

They both got problems of their own

Caught in a catch- 22

But he'd still rather be at home

Verse 4

Cries himself to sleep and prays

Abdim

When he wakes up things

might have changed

But every thing's still the same

Verse 5
Em Em 
 
(But didn't you say)
D D 
 
A A 
 
You always said that I  should speak up
Bm Bm 
 
But it seems like all the
Em Em 
 
things you said to me
D D 
 
A A 
 
F# F# 
 
Before meant nothing at all, because

Verse 6
G G 
 
I  keep telling you that
A A 
 
Johnny's hitting me
F#m F#m 
 
That's why   I'm late for school
G G 
 
(But you never listen)
A A 
 
Instead you always seem to end up
F#m F#m 
 
G G 
 
Blaming me for things I didn't do

Verse 7
G G 
 
(For what it's worth)
A A 
 
I didn't even want to tell you anything
F#m F#m 
 
G G 
 
In case  it made things worse
(Just so you know)
A A 
 
Every time I say that Johnny's hitting me
F#m F#m 
 
G G 
 
Hey mom   and dad it hurts
Bm Bm 
 
E E 
 
G G 
 

Verse 8
Bm Bm 
 
Everyday keeps on repeating
Abdim Abdim 
 
G G 
 
Like the re       cord on replay
Slowly getting off the bus
With Johnny waiting at the gates

Verse 9

Like a friend who'll smile or wave

Abdim

At him while calling out his name

Put his arm around his neck, whisper

"Now give me all your change"

Verse 10

Too afraid to make a scene

Abdim

Or plea with him to let him go

He just takes whatever is coming

Feels the pain with every blow

Verse 11

Tries in vain to make himself be heard

As soon as he gets home

But every thing's still the same

Verse 12
Em Em 
 
(But didn't you say)
D D

You always said that I  should speak up

things you said to me

Before meant nothing at all, because

A A 
 
Instead you always seem to end up
F#m F#m 
 
Blaming me for things
G G 
 
I didn't do

(For what it's worth)

I didn't even want to tell you anything

Verse 15
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
C#m C#m 
 
You always said that I  should speak up
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
And to never be afraid to come
D D 
 
C#m C#m 
 
And tell you if I needed to talk
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
(If I needed to talk,
Asus4 Asus4 
 
D D 
 
F# F#

Bm Bm 
 
'Cause it seems like all the

things you said to me

Before meant nothing at all,  because
