Miss Maggie was way too young to understand,
            D                         E
why she got flown into someone else's hands,
             C              G            D
why she woke up to strange men,
E                C
they tore her to pieces
                       G
and she couldn't comprehend,
            D
why she was locked up in a basement,
             E
filled with men,
                   C
should've gone to school,
                G               D
instead she did them.

E
Don't touch me,
C
I'm fragile,
G                 D
I'm bitter in my heart.


E
Momma sold me,
C
for candy,
G                         D
and I was ruined from the start.


E                                   C
Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men,
   G
They cut me up in places,
        D
I don't even understand,
     E
It's normal see, to me but,
         C
how will my friends understand,
    G
I'm five years old,
D                        E        C      G      D
sleepin' with a million men



E         C                   G
All grown up and her body has decayed,
              D                          E        C
all those promiscuous games she had to play,
                G                  D
she skipped the jungle-jungle-gym phase.


E               C                           G
She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way,
                 D                               E
sees the light peekin' through the end of the hallway,
 C               G                     D
No, She's tryin' tryin' tryin' to escape


E
I'm runnin'
C
full force dear
G                             D
but it's hard when you're bones.
E             C
I'm weak kneed but I'm flyin'
G                  D
out of this hell hole.


E                                   C
Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men,
   G
They cut me up in places,
        D
I don't even understand,
     E
It's normal see, to me but,
         C
how will my friends understand,
     G
I'm ten years old,
D                       E        C      G      D
runnin' from a million men
           E        C      G      D
A million men


E            C           G       D
Finally, the light is comin' close,
E            C
no turning back,
G           D
run full force,
E             C           G       D
angels swoop down and grab me,
     E           C
and now I'm safe away,
      G                    D
from the million men, who raised me.
