Fight Like A Girl

G
Little girl alone on the playground
D                           Cadd9
Tired of gettin' teased and gettin' 
pushed around
Em
Wishin' she was invisible
   Cadd9
To them

G
She ran home cryin'

"Why do they hate me?"
D                  Cadd9
And Mama wiped the tears and said
              Em              
"Baby, you're brave and you're 
      D
beautiful.

                   G
So, hold your head high.
D                  G
Don't ever let 'em define
D            Cadd9
The light in your eyes.
         Em
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
Em
You just stand and be strong
         D
And then fight
       G
Like a girl."

G
At 31 she was wheelin' and dealin'

D                         Cadd9
Kept on hittin' that same glass 
ceilin'
Em                                
She was never gonna one of the 
   Cadd9
boys, no
G
She coulda gave up on her ambition
D                              
And spent the rest of her life just 
Cadd9
wishin'
Em                                 
Instead she listened to her mama's 
D
voice sayin'

                G
"Hold your head high.
D                    G
Don't ever let 'em define
    D
The light in your eyes.
         Em
Love yourself, give them Hell.
Cadd9
You can take on this world.
Em
You just stand and be strong,
         D
And then fight
       G
Like a girl."


         Cadd9
Oh, with style and grace
Em                D
Kick *** and take names

G
Ten years of climbin' that ladder
D                       Cadd9
Oh, but money and power don't matter
Em                        D
When the doctor said "the cancer 
spread"
G
She holds on tight to her husband 
and babies
          D                        
And says "this is just another test
     Cadd9
 God gave me.
Em                            D
And I know just how to handle this"

                  G
I'll hold my head high
D                     G
I'll never let this define
D            Cadd9
The light in my eyes
Em
Love myself, give it Hell
Cadd9
I'll take on this world
Em
If I stand and be strong
Cadd9
No, I'll never give up
Em                  Cadd9
I will conquer with love
         D
And I'll fight
       G
Like a girl


Cadd9
Ooh
