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