Little Girl

[Intro]
F#m A

[Verse 1]
F#m
A   F#m                    A
 My friends always tell me I get carried away
Sometimes I spit when I talk 'cause I have so much to say
F#m                       A
They don't seem to hear me but I guess it's okay
It's not their fault my mind is working overtime with no
pay
     F#m                 A
They always say the same things and it's starting to get
old
That my head can't get sick,
it can't catch a cold
  F#m                   A
I scratch and I pick my insecurities poke
My fears, my anxiety,
a voice that provokes
       F#m
Take a walk, clean your head,
A
breathe in count to ten
'Cause on first page of life written in red
F#m
A
 You'll never make it here if you don't learn how to bend

[Chorus]
      A                               D
Don't speak unless you're spoken to a little girl
F#m                              D
Someday you will find your place in the world
    A
But ladies don't get dirty
    D                                 F#m
Someday you'll learn to fill the empty   space with
     D
empty faith

[Verse 2]
D     F#m                     A
 Everyday feels like a battle and I always get hurt
I was frequently told violence was never the answer
    F#m                A
But life doesn't abide by the rules of a child
I don't know how to fight only taught how to surrender
          F#m                 A
There's a certain kind of darkness that does a reaping
It usually takes your right before you are sleeping
          F#m               A
Is it the crack in the door that it finds a way to creep
in?
Or the crack in the brain that wants you to drop dead
  F#m                       A
I don't remember whats it's like to see with clear vision
I awake every morning like the dead has arisen
        F#m                     A
I don't have to think this body of mine is a prison
You don't control me I just gotta find the light switch
        F#m             A
But the more that I look the further I get
You're the only thing about me that needs to be fixed
              F#m                A
'Cause on the first page of life written in fine print
Stop looking for light live it instead

[Chorus]
      A                               D
Don't speak unless you're spoken to a little girl
F#m                              D
Someday you will find your place in the world
    A
But ladies don't get dirty
    D                                 F#m
Someday you'll learn to fill the empty   space with
     D
empty faith

[Outro]
D   F#madd9
 My mind   is a mess but I love it none the less
     D
They tell me a hush but my words are all that's left
       F#m
So one last page of life written in gold
      D
Don't waste it always doing what you're told
