Little Girl Ukulele chords by Faith Marie

Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
     F#m                              A
My friends always tell me I get carried away

Sometimes I spit when I talk cuz I have so much to say
F#m                                A
They don't seem to hear me but I guess it's ok

It's not their fault my minds working overtime with no pay
 F#m                       A
They always say the same things and it's starting to get old

That my head can't get sick

It can't catch a cold
 F#m
I scratch and I pick
    A
My insecurities poke

My fears, my anxiety, a voice that provokes
F#m                             A
Take a walk, clear your head, breathe in count to ten
                                            F#m A
Cuz on the first page of life written in red

You'll never make it here if you don't learn how to bend


Chorus:
 A                                     D
Don't speak unless you're spoken to, little girl
  A                                      D
Someday you will find your place in the world
  F#m
But ladies don't get dirty
   D                                     A
Someday you'll learn to fill the empty space
             D
With empty faith


Verse 2:
F#m                                 A
Everyday feels like a battle and I always get hurt

I was frequently told violence was never the answer
F#m                              A
But life doesn't abide by the rules of a child

I don't know how to fight only taught how to surrender
F#m                                            A
There's a certain kind of darkness that does a reaping

It usually takes you right before you are sleeping
F#m                   A
Is it the crack in the door that it finds a way to creep in?

Or the crack in your brain that wants you to drop dead
F#m.                                A
I don't remember what it's like to see with clear vision

I awake every morning like the dead has arisen
F#m                         A
I don't have to think this body of mine is a prison

You don't control me I just gotta find the light switch
F#m                            A
But the more that I look the further I get

You're the only thing about me that needs to be fixed
F#m                          A
Cuz on the first page of life written in fine print

Stop looking for light, live it instead


Chorus:
  A                                   D
Don't speak unless you're spoken to, little girl
 A                                    D
Someday you will find your place in the world
  F#m
But ladies don't get dirty
   D                               A
Someday you'll learn to fill the empty space
 D
With empty faith


Bridge:
 F#m
My mind is a mess but I love it none the less
  D
They tell me to hush but my words are all that's left
           A
So on the last page of life written in gold
        D
Don't waste it always doing what you're told
