Am C G D
[Verse 1]
Am C
I'm just a girl, a girl you know
G Bm
Here I stand for your private show
Am C
I'm just a girl, a girl that's strange
G D
For myself, I've got my values straight
Am C
But I'm not the girl who you still love
G Bm
Left my innocence out to rust
Am C
But baby I'm still the girl, the girl you know
G D
Can overcome and can overthrow anything
[Chorus]
Am C
Build me up, tear me down yeah
G D
Fuck all the cynics they can hunt you down yeah
Am C
Write me up, count me out yeah
G D
This is a call to all my down-and-outs
Am C
Always gotta take what's mine away
G A
Always gonna stay when you can't stay, yeah
Am C
Turn me up, turn me out
G D
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Am C
I'm just a girl that no one knows
G Bm
Stuck in a small town wanting more
Am C
I was that punk, a bad cliche
G D
Toxic, out, bad teen running away
Am C
A holy war, but I've got soul
G Bm
Yours to ruin or to adore
Am C
But baby I'm still the girl, the bitch you love

Up here rapping, I'm where I belong
