[Intro 1]
[Bdim][Bb][F][C][D]
[G][Bdim][Bb][F][C]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[A]Standing [Asus4]here with a tale to tell
I [D]might as well tell to you
[A]Nothing near [Asus4]Wagnerian
As [D]Terminator Two
Its an [A]old one about a little dirt farm girl
Who [D]wanted to get out for good
Shed do [A]anything to keep that dream
Shed do [D]anything she [C]could

[Verse 2]
[F]CHORUS:
Who [C]was she
[D]To fee[F]l so [C]free[D]
With her [F]heart [C]on her [D]sleeve
She just [F]couldnt [C]belie[A]ve...
There was a price [D]to pay[Em][D]

[Verse 3]
Her [A]very first chance to escape that year
Came when the [D]circus had come to town
She wound [A]up in bed
and quite madly in love
With some [D]rubber nose juggling clown
[C]He prom[A]ised he'd return
for her come next spring
And he [D]swore that he wouldn't forget
[C]Needles[A]s to say come the
following May
More than her [D]appetite was getting wet
[C]She pro[A]ceeded unheeded
and quite undefeated
To the [D]trailer behind the tents
[C]And her [A]heart began to scar
at his trailer door
She was [D]gonna go wherever he [C]went
[F][C]

[Interlude 1]

[F][C][D]

[Verse 4]
[F]CHORUS[C][A][D][Em]
[D]He ar [A]rived at last about half past
With a girl [D]under every arm
[C]But all of [A]this in itself
could have been innocent as hell
But [D]what began to cause her alarm
[C]Was when he [A]locked the door behind
him like she always bee
She was [D]standing alone in the dirt
[C]And her [A]eyes were so dry
that she began to cry
And [D]something began to hurt
She [Bb]wanted to tear [C]the hair
out of her [D]head
Yeah and she [Bb]wanted to
[C]wish that she was [D]dead
But a [Bb]voice in her [C]just would
not let [D]her drop
And [Bb]her heart began [C]to break but it didn't

[Verse 5]
[A]Run [G]all you're races
And [Em]don't you [D]fear
[Em]You an[G]d I
Are [Em]getting [D]out of here
And [Dm]well sur[G]vive
That [Em]I gua[D]rrantee
Cause you [Dm]don't need [G]much
When [Em]all you have [D]is
me.
[Bm][Bb][F][C][D]

[Verse 6]
She [Asus4]listened to the little voice in her
And [D]then she hit the road
[A]Free [Asus4]at last and with just a tiny scar
And [D]finally on her own
[A]No one knows what be[Asus4]came of her
[A]All we [D]know is she got away
[C]And though there [A]really ain't no
guarantees down here
I [D]like to think she did okay
