Well I know your tired of waking up on the floor 
D                           C            G  
pushed to the edge with nothing heading home 
D                           C          G  
using your clothes as a blanket and a bed 
D                  C                  G  
holding your hands just to lay your head 
G              C                         Am  
I know you don’t remember ever falling down 
C                                    D 
Who picked you up, who gathered round 

D                          C          D 
But, you don’t have to be his girl 
                       C 
You don’t have to be my girl 
                        G 
You can always be your own girl
