CAPO 6
[INTRO] E C G B x2
[VERSE 1]
E C G
Miss Maggie was way too young to understand,
B
Why she got thrown into someone else's hands,
E C G B
Why she woke up to strange men,
E C G
They tore her to pieces and she couldn't comprehend,
B E
Why she was locked up in a basement filled with men,
C
Should've gone to school,
G B
Instead she did them.
[PRE-CHORUS]
E
Don't touch me,
C
I'm fragile,
G B
I'm bitter in my heart.
E
Mama sold me
C
For candy,
G B
And I was ruined from the start.
[CHORUS]
E C
Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
G B
They cut me up in places I don't even understand,
E C
It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?
G
I'm five years old,
B E C G B
Sleepin' with a million men.
(CONTINUE THE SAME PATTERN THROUGHOUT THE SONG)
[VERSE 2]
E C G
All grown up and her body has decayed,
B E
All those promiscuous games she had to play,
C G B
Oh, she skipped the jungle-jungle-gym phase.
E C G
She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way,
B E
Sees the a light peekin' through the end of the hallway,
C G B
No, she's tryna tryna tryna escape...
[PRE-CHORUS]
E
I'm runnin'
C
Full force, dear
G B
But it's harder when you're bones,
E
I'm weak-kneed
C
But I'm flyin'
G B
Out of this hell hole.
[CHORUS]
E C
Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
G B
They cut me up in places I don't even understand,
E C
It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?
G
I'm ten years old,
B E C G B
Runnin' from a million men.
E C G B
A million men
[BRIDGE]
C E
Finally the light is comin' close,
C E
No turning back, run full force,
C E
Angels swoop down and grab me,
C
And now I'm safe away,
B
From the million men who raised me.
[CHORUS]
E C
Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?
G B
They cut me up in places I don't even understand,
E C
It's normalcy to me, how will my boyfriend understand?
G
I'm seventeen
B E C G B
With a history of a million men.
E C G B
A million men.
A million men,
A million men,
A million,
A million men.
A million men,
A million men,
A million,
A million men.
A million men...
