♫ Intro:


C /D  D7  F  Fmaj7

♫ Verse 1:

C               D7
Gazin' out the windows of the bus
F               Fmaj7     C
Watchin' Maryland pass by
          C
There was sky, and where there wasn't
       D7
There was the thought of us
F              Fmaj7          C   A#
Maryland passed, and so did I

♫ Chorus:

               F            Fmaj7
Soft like wax, sharp as an axe
C              G /B        Am7     A#
Both can't be true in my world
                 F         Fmaj7
New indentations cover my back
   C                G /B       Am7            Dm7    G
Goddamn it, I'm at least somebody's strong girl, mm
       C   C
Aren't I?

♫ Verse 2:

                        D7
You surprised me on the road, I didn't catch
        F               Fmaj7     C     C
Your distinct footfalls up the stage
                         D7
I'll admit that made the tour less of a drag
             F            Fmaj7             C     A#
And like a child or a fool, I hoped you'd stay

♫ Chorus:

                        F              Fmaj7
Revolving doors spit me out onto the street
         C             G /B          Am7   A#
Sling my bags over my shoulder and cry
                         F
Press my belly, pull the tab
            Fmaj7             C
And just maybe I'll flash my teeth
               G /B        Am7     Dm7
The achе's the best index for drivе
      G
In my mother's words
      C                    G /B              Am7
"Just drag your heels and don't you draw a line
            Dm7
Be strong, girl"
       G
Strong girl

♫ Bridge:

                 F
It's to the death

Or less than nothing
      C            G /B                   Am7
I'm a pendulum, I don't know where I'll land
                       Dm                     G
I just know that I can swing it, I'll always swing it

♫ Chorus:

          C                 G /B          Am7
'Cause goddamn it, fuck if I'm not everybody’s
       Dm     G
Strong girl, mm

C  G /B  Am7
Ooh
       Dm    G
Strong girl
    C          G /B           Am7            A#
Who am I if I can't be everybody's strong girl? (Strong girl)
       F
Strong girl (Strong girl)
       F
Aren't I?
