Second Guess Girl

       C           F         
Is it time for a speech or for 
   C
silence
           C         F     
Are you calling for peace or 
   C
defiance
           Am       G/B        F/A
Is this darkening counsel or wisdom
       Am      G            C/G
Are we all perpetrators or victims?

[Verse 2]
            C       F       
Is this childlike simple rote 
   C
history
        C        F          C
Is it complex deciphering mystery
           Am       G/B      
Is this blessing or ill gotten 
   F/A
wealth
        Am         G      C/G
Am I speaking for God or myself?

[Chorus]
     G/B     Am          F/A      
It’s a hard world for a second 
 C/E
guess girl
     G/B      Am   F/A    C
With one hand and another
       G/B       Am          F   
I try to take it in but it leaves
      C
 me spinning
        Dm          G         C
Trying to love my sister and brother

[Verse 3]
Continues after the ad
            C        F         C
Is this confidence born of a calling
         C        F            C
Is this ego and pride before falling
          Am        G/B           
Are we standing to fight for 
   F/A
what’s right
         Am         G        C/G
Are we angry and hopelessly blind?

[Verse 4]
          C           F       C
Are we companions of Job or prophets
 of God
        C            F         
Are we not of this world or just 
    C
painfully odd
       Am           G/B            
Is it time for free grace or tough 
F/A
love
      Am       G       C/G
Or a little of all the above?

[Chorus]
     G/B     Am          F/A      
It’s a hard world for a second 
 C/E
guess girl
     G/B      Am   F/A    C
With one hand and another
       G/B       Am          F   
I try to take it in but it leaves
      C
 me spinning
        Dm          G         C
Trying to love my sister and brother

[Bridge]
F/A          C         Dm   
Sooner or later we’ll know more 
      G
about it
F/A          C            Dm      G
Sooner or later we’ll understand why
          Dm           C/G
We’ll understand why

[Verse 5]
        C          F         
Is it time for a speech or for 
    C
silence
           C         F     
Are you calling for peace or 
   C
defiance
           Am       G/B        F/A
Is this darkening counsel or wisdom
       Am      G            C/G
Are we all perpetrators or victims?

Trying to love my sister and brother
