Place capo on 2nd Fret

Submitted by Norma

Verse I:
E minorEm   D MajorD     C majorC
 I was born in a thunderstorm
E minorEm   D MajorD   C majorC
 I grew up overnight
E minorEm     D MajorD        C majorC
 I played alone I'm playing on my own
   A minorAm
I survived
  E minorEm    D MajorD      C majorC
Hey I wanted everything I never had
E minorEm    D MajorD     C majorC
 Like the love that comes with life
E minorEm   D MajorD     C majorC
 I wore Ambien and I hated it
     BB
But I survived

Pre-Chorus:
   E minorEm        D MajorD        C majorC
I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go
     E minorEm
Where the wind don't change
  D MajorD          C majorC
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
  E minorEm
No hope, just lies
      D MajorD        C majorC
And you're taught to cry in your pillow
      BB
But I'll survive

 I found solace in the strangest place
E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC
 Way in the back of my mind

 I saw my life in a stranger's face
BB
 And it was mine

A minorAm
I had made every single mistake
E minorEm          D MajorD
That you could ever possibly make
 A minorAm
I took and I took and I took what you gave

I know that's part of you
