[Verse 1]
[G]What's it been? Over a decade[C]?[G]
It still smarts like it was [C]four
minutes [Cm]ago[G]
We only influenced each other, [C]totally[G]
We only bruised each other,
even more [C]so
What are you, [Cm]my blood?

[Verse 2]
You touch me like you are [F]my [G]blood
What are you, my [Cm]dad?
You affect me like you are my dad
[G]

[Verse 3]
How [Gm]long can a girl be [G]shackled to you?
And how [Gm]long before my dignity
[Gsus4]is reclaime[G]d?
And how [Gm]long can a girl
stay [G]haunted by you?
[Bb]Soon I'll [C]grow up and I won't
even [G]flinch at your name
[Bb]Soon I'll [C]grow up and I won't even
[G]flinch at your name

[Verse 4]
Where've you [G]been? I heard you
[C]moved to my [G]city
My brother saw you somewhere
down[C]town[G]
I'd be paralyzed if I ran
in[C]to [G]you
My tongue would seize up if we
were [C]to meet again
What are [Cm]you, my God?

[Verse 5]
You touch me like you are [F]my [G]God
What are you, my [Cm]twin?
You affect me like you are my twin
[G]

[Verse 6]
How [Gm]long can a girl be [G]tortured by you?
And how [Gm]long before my dignity
[Gsus4]is reclaime[G]d?
And how [Gm]long can a girl
be [G]haunted by you?
[Bb]Soon I'll [C]grow up and I won't
even [G]flinch at your name
[Bb]Soon I'll [C]grow up and I won't
even [G]flinch at your name

[Verse 7]
So here I [G]am, one room [C]away from
where I know you're standing
[G]A well-intentioned man man told
me you just walked [C]in[Cm][G]
This man knows not of how this
information has af[C]fected [G]me
But he knows the color of the
car I just drove away [C]in
What [Cm]are you, my kin?

[Verse 8]
You touch me like you are [F]my [G]kin
What are you, my [Cm]air ?
You affect me like you are my [G]air

[Verse 9]
[G]
And how [Gm]long can a girl
be [G]tortured by you?
And how [Gm]long before my
dignity [G]is reclaimed?
And how [Gm]long can a girl
be [G]haunted by you?
[Bb]Soon I'll [C]grow up and I won't
even [G]flinch at your name
[Bb]Soon I'll grow [C]up and I won't even [G]flinch at your
