Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:
A minorAm
The people are sitting
DM
They keep only staring
G+G               C majorC     E minorEm
Trusting these girls who win simply by glaring
A minorAm
They sit there like royals
DmDm
Screaming and crying
G+G
Letting on that they’re bleeding
C majorC            E minorEm
Telling us that they’re dying

Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm
They try and they die
DmDm
The only way to survive
G+G              C majorC      E minorEm
Is to lie until you can’t find where to hide
A minorAm
You may have one ally
DmDm
But even as you cry
G+G            C majorC   E minorEm
they refuse to look you in the eyes

Chorus:
A minorAm                 DmDm
They plead and they plead and they don’t even bleed
G+G            C majorC   E minorEm
Are you the witch or is it only me
A minorAm
no one knows who to trust
DmDm
No one feels any love
    G+G          C majorC
God is dead in this town
E minorEm      A minorAm
This town of salem

A minorAm DmDm G+G C majorC E minorEm

Verse 2:

Seven wear the crown
DmDm
They think they’re saving heaven
G+G
But I'm not a witch
   C majorC   E minorEm
I’m only eleven
A minorAm
I just spoke my mind
DmDm
Why am I being tried
G+G
No one listens
      C majorC        E minorEm
They only care about my “crimes”

Pre-chorus:
A minorAm
I could lie to survive
DM
I can’t look them in the eyes
G+G
They’ll scream if i do
  C majorC    E minorEm
So why even try
A minorAm
God please let me win
DmDm
I’m not guilty of sin
   G+G          C majorC     E minorEm
I danced in no woods and held up my chin

Chorus:
A minorAm             DmDm
I plead and I plead and I can’t even bleed
