C                   Am
It's M.C. And Y.J., another hit, 
okay.
   C                         Bdim
We looking fine, taking off, saw us 
on a runway
   C                 Am
On any given Sunday, Monday, Tuesday
 (haha)
C                         Bdim   
They try to confuse me, I never 
           C
let 'em use me

[Verse 1]
        Am
I was a girl, you were the man
          F
I was too young to understand
           C    G
I was na - ive, I just believed
N.C.
Everything that you told me
              Am
Said you were strong, protecting me
             F
Then I found out that you were weak
           C     G
Keeping me there under your thumb
N.C.
'Cause you were scared that I'd 
become much
Am
More than you could handle
F                        C
Shining like a chandelier
     G
That decorated every room
                       Am
Inside the private hell  we built
           F                  C
And I dealt with it like a kid
  G
I wished I could fly away but 
instead

[Pre-chorus]
  F                  Am
I kept my tears in - side 'cause I 
knew if I
G
Started I'd keep cryin' for the rest
 of my
F               C                
Life with you I finally built up 
            G
the strength
N.C.
To walk away don't regret it
                              Am
But I still live with the side  
effects

[Chorus]
N.C.
Waking up scared some nights
      F                         
Still dreaming 'bout the violent 
      C
times
        G
Still a little protective 'bout the 
people
                  Am
That I let inside
N.C.
Still a little defensive
         F                       
Thinking folk be trying to run my 
      C
life
        G
Still a little depressed
N.C.
Inside I fake a smile and deal with

[Verse 2]
            Am
Vacant in - side, no one was there
            F
Couldn't be real, had to keep quiet
          C      G
Once in a while, put up a fight
N.C.
It's just too much, night after 
night
        Am
After a while, I would just lie
             F
You was dead wrong, said you was 
right
           C     G
Did what I could just to survive
N.C
Couldn't believe this was my life
Am
Flickering like a candle
F                             C  
Doing my best to handle sleep - 
   G
ing with the enemy
                             Am
Aware that he was smothering    
                      C
every last part of me
G
So I broke away and finally found 
the strength to leave

[Pre-chorus]
F                  Am
Kept my tears in - side 'cause I 
knew if I

Started I'd keep cryin' for the rest
