A Million Men

Am           F                    C
Miss Maggie was way too young to understand
            G                          Am
Why she got thrown into someone else's hands
             F              C            E7
Why she woke up to strange men
Am                F
They tore her to pieces
                       C
And she couldn't comprehend
            G
Why she was locked up in a basement
            Am
Filled with men
                   F
Should've gone to school
                C               E7
Instead she did them

Am
Don't touch me
F
I'm fragile
C                 G
I'm bitter in my heart

Am
Mama sold me
F
For candy
C                         G
And I was ruined from the start

Am                                  F
Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men?
   C
They cut me up in places
        G
I don't even understand
     Am
It's normalcy to me but
         F
How will my friends understand?
    C
I'm five years old

Sleepin' with a million men

( F  C  G )

Am         F                   C
All grown up and her body has decayed
              G                          Am        F
All those promiscuous games she had to play
                C                   G
She skipped the jungle, jungle-gym phase

Am               F                           C
She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way
                 G                            Am
Sees the light peekin' through the end of the hallway
 F               C                     E7
No, She's tryin' tryin' tryin' to escape

Am
I'm runnin'
F
Full force dear
C                             G
But it's hard when you're bones
Am              F
I'm weak kneed but I'm flyin'
C                  G
Out of this hell hole

Am                                  F
Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men?
   C
They cut me up in places
        G
I don't even understand
     Am
It's normalcy to me but
         F
How will my friends understand?

Finally, the light is comin' close
Am           F
No turning back
C           G
Run full force
Am            F           C    G
Angels swoop down and grab me
     Am          F
And now I'm safe away
      C                    G
From the million men who raised me
