[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.
Identity
[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
Am
Identity
[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
What if you don’t love yourself? (When you’re not enough!)
[Outro]
Am G/B C
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
