Be Your Own Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]I k[C]now[G][D][C][G]
[D]you're tired
of wak[C]ing up on [G]the floor
[D]Pushed to the edge with
[C]nothing heavy to hold
[G]Usi[D]ng your clothes as a
[C]blanket and [G]a bed
[D]Holding your hands just [C]to lay your [G]head

[Verse 2]
I know [C]you don't remember
[G]ever falling dow[Am]n
[C]Who picked you up, who gathered [D]around
But you don't have to be
[C]his [D]girl
And you don't have to be my [C]girl
You can always be [G]your own
[C]girl
[D][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
With the [D]sound of your feet you follow
[C]yourself [G]to sleep
[D]Restless and ageless and [C]looking
for somethin' to keep
[G]When you fi [D]nally fall asleep
[C]you're awake in [G]dreams
[D]Hanging by the ankles [C]in a skeleton rav[G]ine

[Verse 4]
I know [C]you've kicked the lights,
[G]fell on your sho[Am]es
[C]Punched out the colors,
leaving you the [D]blues
But you don't have to be
[C]his girl[D]
And you don't have to be [C]my girl
You can always be [G]your own girl
[C][D][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 5]
[G]
There's a [D]soft melody that's
[C]ringing in my [G]ears
Sim[D]ple and slow and it
[C]always brings you [G]here
With [D]broken crayons
[C]you've scribbled on [G]the wall
[D]Shapes of nothing [C]and shad
ow box them [G]all

[Verse 6]
Your finger[C]tips are broke
[G]and your knees don't ben[Am]d
Your [C]imagination took the worst
hit and cut it's [D]skin
But you don't have to be
his [C]girl[D]
You don't have to be my [C]girl
You can always be [G]your own
girl
[D][C][G][D][C]

[Verse 7]
[G]
There's a [D]soft melody that's
[C]ringing in my [G]ears
And it's the [D]same one you
could [C]never avoid in [G]yours
And if you [D]lay down you can [C]hear
from tongue [G]to tails
About a [D]tattooed rhythm and
[C]drumming by color [G]wheel

[Verse 8]
Your rung [C]is broken on [G]the
bottom of the [Am]rope
And you [C]can't tie another,
another knot [D]of hope
And you don't have to be [C]his girl
[D]And you don't have to be my gir[C]l
You can always be your [G]own [C]girl
