When She Cries

A      E      F#m
Little girl terrified
              D          E        
She'd leave her room if only 
  A
bruises would heal
A          E          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   F#m
She fights to find her way
      D      A        E           
She hurts, she breaks, she hides 
 F#m
and tries to pray
Bm                  D        Bm 
She wonders why does anyone ever
           D
 hear her when she cries?

A           E          F#m
Today she's turning sixteen
          D                E      
Everyone singing, but she can't 
        A
seem to smile
A          E               F#m
They never get past arms length
            D            E      A
How could they act like everything 
is alright?
A                E            F#m
She's pulling down her long sleeves
        D            E            
To cover all the memories that scars
A
 leave
A                  E      F#m
She says, "… maybe making me bleed
            D            E        
Will be the answer that could wash
    A
 the slate clean"


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

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