[Verse 1]
N.C.
June 94’
That’s a story she ignores
     Em                      D6
They swept the pride and the lust
                   C
Of a preacher they loved
          C
Under the rug
        D       Em
And she wonders why
                                     D6
She’s staring at herself in her underwear
Pulling her hair
                C
Saying, “nobody cares”
                         C                               Em
She whispers, “It was an accident, but I’m a fu*king accident”
Rubbin' on her nose
                D6
Grabbin' on her thighs
                    C
Up another half size
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                               C   N.C.
She’d rather show up in the circus
Than show up in churches
 
 
[Chorus]
   Am                    G/B C
So love your neighbor as yourself
                           D   Em
But what if you don’t love yourself?
                          G
Well that explains our enemies
    Am                       G/B C
But where is all this coming from?
                           D     Em
It must of been when I was young those
                     G
Words you spoke over me
      N.C.

[Verse 2]
    Em
She stepped
           D6
Though the door
         C
Down the hall
        C N.C.
He made sure she didn’t say a word
   Em            D6          C N.C.
He took off that red colored dress
My god she was so innocent
Em                                       D6
 She remembers all the things that he whispered
                                C
He cut her down down like his zipper
You’ll never be worth it
         C
Far from perfect
                               D    Em
A daughter of the king, that’s bull sh*t
                         D6
Now he’s touching on her nose
Grabbing on her thighs
                              C
And told her “big girls don’t cry”
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
                               C   N.C.
She’d rather show up in the circus
Than show up in churches
 
 
[Chorus]
   Am                    G/B C
So love your neighbor as yourself
                           D   Em
But what if you don’t love yourself?
                         G
Well that explains my enemies
    Am                       G/B C
But where is all this coming from?
                           D     Em
It must of been when I was young those
                     G
Words you spoke over me

[Bridge]
                         G/B C
So love your neighbor as yourself (What is there to love?)
D Em                                 G
   What if you don’t love yourself? (When you’re not enough!)
   Am                    G/B C
So love your neighbor as yourself (What is there to love?)
D Em                                 G

Perspective
                          D Em
It’s all about perspective
                   G
You just never know what someone else has been through
Am            G/B   C                     D    Em
 So before we point fingers and before we judge,
                          G
Eake a look in the mirror, take look in the mirror
 Am         G/B           C                     D    Em
(Mirror) If that was your story, and those were your circumstance,
              G
That could be you! That could be you
Am              G/B   C
 Let's take a minute (what is there to love)
      D    Em                             G
Let's improvise, let's try to understand (when you're not enough)
Am             G/B C                D    Em
 We are all flawed  and we all need grace
                  G
Father forgive us for we know not what we do
