Little Ears

A
Little ears hide behind closed doors so you don't know they're there
D
Little ears sneak out of bed and hide in shadows at the top of the stairs
A
Little ears rarely do get seen but they'd hear more than you'd know
D
Little ears hide their tears as they hug you and skip off down the road


[PreChorus]

F#m               E                    D
And when you're with your friends you don't want them to hear
F#m               E                    D
Cos you don't know they saw you last night when you were in tears


[Chorus]

F#m                   D                              A
Little ears hold the weight of the world with the secrets they won't say
F#m                   D                              A
Cos little ears love you more than you know and they won't let you get taken away
              F#m                      E
You'll stay strong for them and you're not to blame
             D
That little ears will come when you're in pain
F#m                  E           D
Little ears would never let you see
                                  F#m E D
They're stronger than they should be
F#m E D

[Verse]

A
Little ears growing up tryna prove they're not little anymore
D
Little ears have a new family now that you walked out the door
A
But little ears search for love in wrong places; you could never give it to them
D
So little ears follow down your path with the wrong friends and wrong men


[PreChorus]

F#m               E                 D
And then they'll have a child too young with nowhere to go
F#m               E                 D
But they'll hide their fears so new little ears would never know


[Chorus]

F#m                    D                             A
Little ears hold the weight of the world with the secrets they won't say
F#m                    D                             A
Cos little ears love you more than you know and they won't let you get taken away
               F#m                       E
They'll stay strong for you and they're not to blame
                D
That sometimes they can't hide all their pain
F#m                 E            D
Little ears would never let you see

They're struggling more than they should be


[Bridge]

F#m*           E                         D
  And it's hard when all you hear is the world thinks you'll fail
F#m          E                           D
  When they write your life as another kid gone off of the rails
            F#m        E               D
But little ears are stronger than you ever thought
       D                                A
And they'll prove you wrong in this, I know
       E                            A
Cos little ears have something to fight for
           D                        E
And they have little ears of their own


[Chorus]

                                                           D
Little ears hold the weight of the world; there's still things they cannot say
                           E                               D
But little ears love you more than you know and you will never get taken away
         E                                                    D
Cos you gave them strength, chased away their pain, and they know that they'll never fall again
Bm                  E                  D
Little ears have grown up and you can see
                           A
They're happy like they should be
