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