D# A#
Little girl a-lone on the playground
F Gm D#
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' pushed a-round
A# F
Wishin' she was invisi-ble... To them
D#
She ran home cryin'
A#
"Why do they hate me?"
F Gm
And Mama wiped the tears and said
D# A# F
"Ba-by, you're brave and you're beauti-ful"
A# D#
So, hold your head high
Gm F A# D#
Don't ever let 'em de-fine
Gm F
The light in your eyes
A# D#
Love your-self, give 'em hell
Gm F
You can take on this world
Cm D#
You just stand and be strong
F A# D# Gm F
And then fight... Like a girl
D# A#
At thirty-one, she was wheelin' and dealin'
F Gm
Kept on hittin' that same glass ceilin'
D# A# F
She was never gonna be one of the boys... No
D# A#
She coulda gave up on her ambition
F Gm D#
And spent the rest of her life just wish-in'
A# F
Instead she listened to her mother's voice sayin'
A# D#
Hold your head high
Gm F A# D#
Don't ever let 'em de-fine
Gm F
The light in your eyes
A# D#
Love your-self, give 'em hell
Gm F
You can take on this world
Cm D#
You just stand and be strong
F A#
And then fight... Like a girl
D#
Oh, with style and grace
D#
Have faith and take names
D# A#
Ten years of climbin' that ladder
F Gm
Oh, but money and power don't matter
D# A# F
When the doctor said "The cancer spread"
D# A#
She holds on tight to her husband and babies
F Gm D#
And says "This is just another test God gave me.
A# F
And I know just how to handle this"
A# D#
I'll hold my head high
Gm F A# D#
I'll never let this de-fine
Gm F
The light in my eyes
A# D#
Love my-self, give it hell
Gm F
I'll take on this world
Cm D#
If I stand and be strong
F
No, I'll never give up
Cm D#
I will conquer with love
F A# D# Gm F
And I'll fight... Like a girl
