When She Cries

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

F#m              D
Every day's the same
     A         E
She fights to find her way
     F#m        D           A         E
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
Bm           D            Bm                         D
She wonders why does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

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

F#m             D
Every day's the same
     A         E
She fights to find her way
       F#m       D          A          E
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
Bm           D          Bm                           D
She wonders why does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

             Bm
This is the dark before the dawn
     F#m               A
The storm before the peace
      D                 E
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and
F#m             E
God is watching over you
    E
He hears you

F#m             D
Every day's the same
     A         E
She fights to find her way
     F#m         D          A          E
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
Bm              D             Bm                          D
She´ll be just fine, cause I know He hears her when she cries

Bm              D             Bm               D
She´ll be just fine, cause I know He hears her... when she cries
