A      E      F#m
Little girl terrified
              D          E          A
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
A          E          F#m
A home is no place to hide
            D           E            A
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels


F#m            D
Every day's the same
      A      E   F#m
She fights to find her way
      D      A        E            F#m
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
Bm                  D        Bm            D
She wonders why does anyone ever hear her when she cries?


A           E          F#m
Today she's turning sixteen
          D                E              A
Everyone singing, but she can't seem to smile
A          E               F#m
They never get past arms length
            D            E      A
How could they act like everything is alright?
A                E            F#m
She's pulling down her long sleeves
        D            E            A
To cover all the memories that scars leave
A                  E      F#m      
She says, "… maybe making me bleed 
            D            E            A
Will be the answer that could wash the slate clean"


Bm
This is the dark before the dawn
F#m
The storm before the peace
A                  B
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and
A            B
God is watching over you

He hears you
F#m            D
Everyday's the same
A            E      F#m
She fights to find her way
      D      A        E            F#m
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
Bm            D            Bm            D
She'll be just fine, 'cause I know He hears when she cries.
