[Intro]
G  Dm
 
G                             Dm
  She wipes the tear from her brow
           F
She’s been cryin again
           C                    Bb
She’s been walking into walls again
G                       Dm
  Behind her quivering smile 
          F
there’s a secret
          C                        Bb
That goes deeper than the cuts she hides
 
 
F            C        G
  Her head’s spinning around
Bb           C           G
  He bet her soul to the ground
F         C        G
  A grown woman in pain
            Bb                   C             G       F
And all she longs to be, is that little girl, again
 
 
G               Dm                F
  She screams inside, and all she wants to be
        C               Bb         G
All she wants to be, is yesterdays child
             Dm              F
She wants to hide, she can't run away
       C          Bb         G           Dm
To the safety, of yesterdays child
 
 
G                      Dm
  Curled up shivering alone 
           F
She’s been hurt again
           C                   Bb
She’s been walking into walls again
G                       Dm
  Her children keep her alive
            F
They’re her sanity
                 C                     Bb
But they’re the reason why she has to stay
 
F         C        G
  A grown woman in pain
            Bb                  C             G            F
And all she longs to be is that little girl, again
 
 
G               Dm                F
  She screams inside, and all she wants to be
        C               Bb         G
All she wants to be, is yesterdays child
             Dm              F
She wants to hide, she can't run away
       C          Bb         G     Dm
To the safety, of yesterdays chiiiiild
           F      C

Bb         G     Dm

           F      C   Bb  F

  She screams inside, and all she wants to be
        C               Bb         G
All she wants to be, is yesterdays child
             Dm              F
She wants to hide, she can't run away
       C          Bb         G
To the safety, of yesterdays child
