Intro Bm A G F# (x2)
[VERSE 1]
Bm A G F# Bm
Once upon a time there was a girl
A G F# Bm
In her early years she had to learn
A G F# Bm
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
A G F#
Never know just where to turn for shelter from the storm
[Pre-Chorus]
G Bm
Hurt me to see the pain across my mother's face
G F#
Everytime my father's fist would put her in her place
G Bm
Hearing all the yelling I would cry up in my room
G F#
Hoping it would be over soon
CHORUS
G D
Bruises fade father, but the pain remains the same
G D
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
G D
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
A G
Every morning that I wake I look back to yesterday
Bm A G F#
And I'm OK
[VERSE 2]
I often wonder
When it's you that helped
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows stir at night
The echo of a broken
Daddy, don't you

CHORUS
Bruises fade father,
And I still remember
Strength is my mother
Every morning that
[Interlude]
C Bm Am
It's not so easy to forget
C Bm Am
All the marks you left along her neck
C Bm Am
When I was thrown against cold stairs
C Bm Am
And every day I'm afraid to come home
F# G
In fear of what I might see there
CHORUS
Bruises fade father
And I still remember
Strength is my mother
Every morning that I wake
And I'm OK
I'm OK
