When She Cries

G         D        Em
  Little girl terrified
                 C           D             Em
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
G           D           Em
  A home is no place to hide
              C                 D             G
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels


[Chorus]

      Em         C
Every day's the same
     G         D
She fights to find her way
     Em         C           G           D
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
Am             C           Am                          C
  She wonders why, does anyone ever hear her when she cries


[Verse 2]

G              D          Em
  Today she's turning sixteen
         C                 D             Em
Everyone singing, but she can't seem to smile
G            D              Em
  They never get past arms length
                C            D           G
How could they act like everything is alright?
G          D              Em
  Pulling down her long sleeves
          C          D                Em
To cover all the memories that scars leave
         G       D          Em
She says, "maybe making me bleed
            C                 D               G
will be the answer that could wash the slate clean"


[Chorus]

      Em         C
Every day's the same
     G         D
She fights to find her way
     Em         C           G           D
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
Am             C           Am                          C
  She wonders why, does anyone ever hear her when she cries


[Bridge]

             Am?
This is the dark before the dawn
     Em
The storm before the peace
      C                 D
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and
 G?              D
God is watching over you
He hears you


[Chorus]

      Em         C
Every day's the same
     G         D
She fights to find her way
     Em         C           G           D
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
Am               C             Am                          C
  She'll be just fine, cause I know He hears her when she cries


[Chorus]

      Em         C
Every day's the same
     G         D
She fights to find her way
     Em         C           G           D
She hurts, she breaks, she hides, and tries to pray
Am               C             Am                          C
  She'll be just fine, cause I know He hears her when she cries
Am               C             Am                C
  She'll be just fine, cause I know He hears her, when she cries
