[Verse 1]
Bm
I have seen your body

F#m
And I have seen your beauty

A
They are separate things

Em
Pretty, pretty, pretty  things

Bm
But I am in a garden

D
Tending to my own

A
So what do I care

A                         E
And what do you care if I grow?

[Verse 2]
Bm
Think of all the wilted women

D
Who crane their necks to reach a window

A
Ripping all their petals off, just 'cause

Em
"He loves me now, he loves me not"

I myself was a wilted woman
Drowsy in a dark room
G
Forgot my roots

A
Now watch me bloom

                  G
And I will not compare

Other beauty to mine

                 G
And I will not become

                  Em
A thorn in my own side

                  G
And I will not return

          Em
To where I once was

                         G
Well, I can break through the earth

Come out soft and wild
