Miss Maggie was way too young to understand,
                         B7                                     E
why she got thrown into someone else's hands,
                    C                         G   B7
why she woke up to strange men,
E                        C
they tore her to pieces
                                G
and she couldn't comprehend,
                      B7
why she was locked up in a basement,
                   E
filled with men.
                               C
Should've gone to school,
                       G             B7
instead she did them.

E
Don't touch me,
C
I'm fragile,
G                           B7
I'm bitter in my heart.

E
Mama sold me,
C
for candy,
G                                         B7
and I was ruined from the start.

E                                                        C
Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men?

They cut me up in places

It's normalcy to me but,

how will my friends understand?

All grown up and her body has decayed,

all those promiscuous games she had to play,
                         G                               B7
she skipped the jungle, jungle-gym phase.

E                        C                                  G
She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way,
                        B7                                             E
sees the light peekin' through the end of the hallway,
C                  G                         B7
No, She's tryin' tryin' tryin' to escape

E
I'm runnin'
C
full force dear
G                                      B7
but it's hard when you're bones.

I'm weak kneed but I'm flyin'
G                      B7
out of this hell hole.

Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men?

They cut me up in places
              B7
I don't even understand.

It's normalcy to me but
C
how will my friends understand?

I'm ten years old,

runnin' from a million men
                  E  C G B7
A million men

Finally, the light is comin' close,

no turning back,

run full force.
E                     C                  G          B7
Angels swoop down and grab me,
E                        C
and now I'm safe away,

from the million men who raised me.
