When She Cries

 
              
A      C#m      F#m 
Little girl terrified 
                  D         E       F#m 
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal 
A       C#m          F#m 
A home is no place to hide 
                D            E          A 
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels 
 
F#m             D 
Every day's the same 
        A       E 
She fights to find her way 
F#m        D            A                 E 
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray 
Bm            D            Bm               D 
She wonders why does anyone ever hear her when she cries? 
 
A            C#m      F#m 
Today she's turning sixteen 
            D               E             F#m 
Everyone singing, but she can't seem to smile 
A           C#m              F#m 
They never get past arms length 
                D               E       A 
How could they act like everything is alright? 
A                  C#m           F#m 
She's pulling down her long sleeves 
          D             E               F#m 
To cover all the memories that scars leave 
A             C#m            F#m 
She says, "Â? maybe making me bleed  
                D               E               A 
Will be the answer that could wash the slate clean" 
 
Bm 
This is the dark before the dawn 
D                   F#m 
The storm before the peace 
D                       E 
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and 
F#m 
God is watching over you 
E 
He hears you 
 
 
F#m             D 
Everyday's the same 
A               E 
She fights to find her wayF 
F#m          D          A                E 
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray 
Bm              D               Bm              D 
She'll be just fine, 'cause I know He hears when she cries.
