Tom: G
G
Little girl alone on the playground
D Cadd9
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed around
Em
Wishin' she was invisible
Cadd9
To them
G
She ran home cryin'
"Why do they hate me?"
D Cadd9
And Mama wiped the tears and said
Em D
"Baby, you're brave and you're beautiful.
G
So, hold your head high.
D G
Don't ever let 'em define
D Cadd9
The light in your eyes.
Em
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
Em
You just stand and be strong
D
And then fight
G
Like a girl."
G
At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'
D Cadd9
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
Em Cadd9
She was never gonna one of the boys, no
G
She coulda gave up on her ambition
D Cadd9
And spent the rest of her life just wishin'
Em D
Instead she listened to her mama's voice sayin'
G
"Hold your head high.
D G
Don't ever let 'em define
D
The light in your eyes.
Em
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
Em
You just stand and be strong,
D
And then fight
G
Like a girl."
Cadd9
Oh, with style and grace
Em D
Kick *** and take names
G
Ten years of climbin' that ladder
D Cadd9
Oh, but money and power don't matter
Em D
When the doctor said "the cancer spread"
G
She holds on tight to her husband and babies
D Cadd9
And says "this is just another test God gave me.
Em D
And I know just how to handle this"
G
I'll hold my head high
D G
I'll never let this define
D Cadd9
The light in my eyes
Em
Love myself, give it Hell
Cadd9
I'll take on this world
Em
If I stand and be strong
Cadd9
No, I'll never give up
Em Cadd9
I will conquer with love
D
And I'll fight
G
Like a girl
Cadd9
Ooh
