Chords for Faith Marie - Little Girl

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] My friends always tell [A] me I get carried away
Sometimes I spit when I talk
Cause I have so much to [F#m] say
They don't seem to hear [A] me
But I guess it's okay
It's not their fault
My mind's working overtime with no pay
[F#m] They always say the [A] same things
And it's starting to get old
That my head can't get sick
It can't catch a [F#m] cold
I scratch and I [A] pick
My insecurities poke
My fear's my anxiety
A voice that [F#m] provokes
Take a walk, clear your head
[A] Breathe in, count to ten
Cause on the first page of life
Written in red
[F#m] _ [A] You'll never make it here
If you don't learn how to bend
[C#m] _
[A] Don't speak unless you've spoken [D] to a little girl _
_ [F#m] Someday you will find your [D] place in the world
[A] But ladies don't get dirty
[D] Someday you'll learn to fill the [F#m] empty space
With [D] empty faith
[Em] _
_ _ [D] _ _ [F#m] Every day feels like a [A] battle
And I always get hurt
I was frequently told
Violence was never the answer
[F#m] But life doesn't [A] abide by the rules of a child
I don't know how to fight
Only taught how to [F#m] surrender
There's a certain kind of [A] darkness
That does the reaping
It usually takes you right before you are [F#m] sleeping
Is it the crack in the door
[A] That it finds a way to creep in
Or the crack in your brain
That wants you to [F#m] drop dead
I don't remember what [A] it's like to see with clear vision
I wake every morning like the dead has arisen
[F#m] I don't have to think this [A] body of mine is a prison
You don't control me
I just gotta find the [F#m] light switch
But the more that I look
[A] The further I get
You're the only thing about me that needs to be [F#m] fixed
Cause on the first page of [A] life
Written in fine print
Stop looking for light
Live it instead
_ Don't speak unless you're spoken [D] to Little girl
_ [F#m]
Someday you will find your place [D] in the world
[A] But ladies don't get dirty
[D] Someday you'll learn to fill the [F#m] empty space
With [D] empty faith _ _
_ _ [A] My mind is a mess but I love it [D] nonetheless
_ _ They tell me to hush but my words are all that's left
_ _ [F#m] So on the last page of life
Written in [D] gold
_ _ Don't waste it
Always doing what you're told
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
