As recorded by Anberlin (From the 2008 Album NEW SURRENDER) [Intro] Bm A D G Bm A D G [Verse 1]
     Bm           D
Dear little girl, so much hurt

                 G
For such a young age

Bm               A                D
Trapped inside a pretty little lie

              G     A
Your body's betrayed
[Pre-Chorus]
      Bm                 A
Don't fix your eyes on a fix you'll rely on

D                   G                  Bm
Fixed her eyes on a fix she relies upon

         D
Stand unafraid

        G
All the good souls, stand unafraid
[Chorus]
                         Bm                   A
When the light starts to burn, and the pain returns

                 D                                G
I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

                     Bm
There's life in your veins

                  A
These needles are chains to hold you down

D                              G
How can you expect to win this war?

            Bm            A
You're too afraid to fight

             D        G
Are you too afraid to fight?
[Verse 2]
     Bm                   A           D
Dear little one, that was so much pain

                 G
Time you can't replace

Bm                   A                   D
Trapped inside, too afraid to cry, and now

                  G
Hands and bruises cover face
[Pre-Chorus]
      Bm                 A
Don't fix your eyes on a fix you'll rely on

D                   G
Fixed her eyes on a fix
[Chorus]
                         Bm                   A
When the light starts to burn, and the pain returns

                 D                                G
I just wish that I could heal the hurt you feel tonight

                     Bm
There's life in your veins

                  A
These needles are chains to hold you down

D                              G
How can you expect to win this war

                        Bm     D  G
If you're too afraid to fight?

There's life in your veins

                  A
These needles are chains to hold you down

How can you expect to win this war
