[N] [A#m] [C#] When I write a song, first of all, [C] I'm writing for myself, and I have my own [A#] viewpoint, and
I am a woman.
All [C] of those things do tally up, but I don't think of it as being [B] exclusive to me [A#] or to my [B] gender.
I think of [C]
the [B] feelings that I'm trying to [C] express or to detail [Bm] as hopefully [B] being [C] things
that happen [Bm] to all of us, because that's what I've always really believed.
[F#] I think what resonates [Bm] in He Thinks He'll Keep Her [C#] is it's about recognizing when you're
somewhere that you really [B] shouldn't be, and it's up to you to make the change.
And that is [A] empowerment.
