[Intro]
G D G Em C G Em C G
[Verse]
G Em
Girl I've got scars and I've seen stars
C D G
From men nearly twice my size
Em
Yeah, life's sticks and stones have broke a few bones
C D
But I've always survived
G Bm Em
So when I take a look at all I've took
C D G
It don't seem right to me
Em
How a little bitty woman with just a few words
C D G
Could bring me to my knees
[Chorus]
C G
Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit
Em C D
Compared to the cold cruel words that just left your lips
C D
I'd rather you picked up a rock, a stick full of thorns
G Bm C
Rear back and let 'em fly - y
G D
'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much
C D G
As the sound of your goodbye
[Solo]
G Em C G Em C G
[Verse]
Em
Yeah, I know I'm the reason for your leavin'
C D G
I'm to blame sure enough
Em
It's like you say there ain't a woman made
C D
That can live without true love
G Bm Em
So if it's too late to set things straight
C G
And there's no forgiving me
Em
Then don't say nothin', just pick you up something
C D G
That'll end this misery
[Chorus]
C G
Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit
Em C D
Compared to the cold cruel words that just left your lips
C D
I'd rather you picked up a rock, a stick full of thorns
G Bm C
Rear back and let 'em flyyyyyyy
G D
'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much
C D G
As the sound of your goodbye
