Amanda Palmer – Judy Blume (Guitar)

G            G/F#       A                    C
people keep asking me why i do things how i do

G            G/F#             A               C
and all of this measuring influence i forgot you

G            G/F#    A                    C
you and me hiding behind the monhegan hotel

G            G/F#             A                    C
and you told me things that nobody around me would tell

G            G/F#          A                    C
that was the summer that everyone touched me at once

G            G/F#            A                           C
one day they ignored me the next they were all down my pants

G            G/F#        A                  C
you were in bed with me safe before anyone else

     G       G/F#          A                    C    
you opened beside me and held me when i needed help

Em          D       C                          Em D C
you and me lying together at night in my room

Em          D         C           G      A C C 
you've been inside me forever, judy blume

G           G/F#                A                C

G           G/F#                A                          C 
and no-one had told me that thoughts were a good or bad thing

G           G/F#           A                      C 
but i  started noticing grown-ups would smile and cringe

G                   G/F#            A                        C

Em            D            C
