When She Cries

 A      C#m      F#m
Little girl terrified
                  D         E       F#m
She'd leave her room if only bruises would heal
A       C#m          F#m
A home is no place to hide
                D            E          A
Her heart is breaking from the pain that she feels

F#m             D
Every day's the same
        A       E
She fights to find her way
F#m        D            A                 E
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
Bm            D            Bm               D
She wonders why does anyone ever hear her when she cries?

A            C#m      F#m
Today she's turning sixteen
            D               E             F#m
Everyone singing, but she can't seem to smile
A           C#m              F#m
They never get past arms length
                D               E       A
How could they act like everything is alright?
A                  C#m           F#m
She's pulling down her long sleeves
          D             E               F#m
To cover all the memories that scars leave
A             C#m            F#m
She says, "Â… maybe making me bleed 
                D               E               A
Will be the answer that could wash the slate clean"

Bm
This is the dark before the dawn
D                   F#m
The storm before the peace
D                       E
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and
F#m
God is watching over you
E
He hears you


F#m             D
Everyday's the same
A               E
She fights to find her wayF
F#m          D          A                E
She hurts, she breaks, she hides and tries to pray
Bm              D               Bm              D
She'll be just fine, 'cause I know He hears when she cries.
