Am Em
Once upon a time there was a girl
Am E
In her early years she had to learn
F Em
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
F E
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm
Am Em
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
F E
Every time my father's fist would put her in her place
F Em
Hearing all the yelling, I would cry up in my room
Am E
Hoping it would be over soon
F C
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
F C
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
F C
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
F Am
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday

and I'm okay
Am Em
I often wonder why I've carried all this guilt
Am E
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
F Em
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
F E
The echo of a broken child screaming "please, no more"
F Em
Daddy don't you understand the damage you have done?
F E
For you it's just a memory, but for me it still lives on
F C
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
F C
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
F C
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
F Am
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
and I'm okay
F Em
It's not so easy to forget
F E
All the marks you left along her neck
F Em
When I was thrown against cold stairs
F E
And everyday afraid to come home,
F Em
In fear of what I might see there
F C
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
F C
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
F C
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
F Am
And every morning that I wake I look back at yesterday
and I'm okay
