Intro SIm LA SOL FA# (x2)
[VERSE 1]
SIm LA SOL FA# SIm
Once upon a time there was a girl
LA SOL FA# SIm
In her early years she had to learn
LA SOL FA# SIm
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
LA SOL FA#
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
[Pre-Chorus]
SOL SIm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
SOL FA#
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
SOL SIm
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
SOL FA#
Hoping it would be over soon
CHORUS
SOL RE
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
SOL RE
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
SOL RE
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
LA SOL
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
SIm LA SOL FA#
And I'm OK
[VERSE 2]
I often wonder
When it's you that helped
[Pre-Chorus]

CHORUS
Bruises fade father,
And I still remember
Strength is my mother
Every morning that
[Interlude]
DO SIm LAm
It's not so easy to forget
DO SIm LAm
All the marks you left along her neck
DO SIm LAm
When I was thrown against cold stairs
DO SIm LAm
And every day I'm afraid to come home
FA# SOL
In fear of what I might see there
CHORUS
Bruises fade father
And I still remember
Strength is my mother
Every morning that I wake
And I'm OK
I'm OK
