When She Cries

A      C#m        F#m
Little girl terrified
                  D            E  
She'd leave her room if only 
         F#m
bruises would heal
A        C#m          F#m
A home is no place to hide
              D                 E 
Her heart is breaking from the 
            A
pain that she feels

F#m              D
Every day's the same
     A         E
She fights to find her way
     F#m        D           A    
She hurts, she breaks, she hides 
     E
and tries to pray
Bm           D            Bm    
She wonders why does anyone ever
                     D
 hear her when she cries?

A           C#m        F#m
Today she's turning sixteen
          D                E      
Everyone singing, but she can't 
       F#m
seem to smile

They never get past arms length
              D                E  
How could they act like everything
      F#m
 is alright?
A             C#m            F#m
She's pulling down her long sleeves
          D           E           
To cover all the memories that 
   F#m
scars leave
         A       C#m       F#m
She says, "Maybe making me bleed
                D               E 
Will be the answer that could wash
              A
 the slate clean"

F#m             D
Every day's the same
     A         E
She fights to find her way
       F#m       D          A    
She hurts, she breaks, she hides 
      E
and tries to pray
Bm           D          Bm      
She wonders why does anyone ever
                     D
 hear her when she cries?

             Bm
This is the dark before the dawn
     F#m               A
The storm before the peace
      D                 E
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons 
change and
F#m             E
God is watching over you
    E
He hears you

F#m             D
Every day's the same
     A         E
She fights to find her way
     F#m         D          A    
She hurts, she breaks, she hides 
      E
and tries to pray
Bm              D             Bm
She´ll be just fine, cause I 
                          D
know He hears her when she cries

Bm              D             Bm
She´ll be just fine, cause I 
               D
know He hears her... when she cries
