E                   C                                         G
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.

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?

It's normalcy to me but

how will my friends understand?

runnin' from a million men

A million men

run full force.
E                     C                  G          B7
Angels swoop down and grab me,

and now I'm safe away,

from the million men who raised me.
