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