  Miss Maggie was way too young to understand

Why she got thrown into someone else's hands

A              F             C     E
  Why she woke up to strange men

A                  F                            C
  They tore her to pieces and she couldn't comprehend

Why she was locked up in a basement filled with men

  Should've gone to school

Instead she did them
[Pre-Chorus]

  Don't touch me

  I'm fragile

  Mama sold me

  For candy

  And I was ruined from the start

Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?

     C                           E
They cut me up in places I don't even understand

      A                           F
It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?

  All grown up and her body has decayed

              E                          A
All those promiscuous games she had to play

     F                C                  E
Ohhh  she skipped the jungle, jungle-gym phase

A                 F                          C
  She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way

             E                                   A
Sees a light peekin' through the end of the hallway

     F             C                 E
Nooo  she's tryna, tryna, tryna to escape
[Pre-Chorus]
A
  I'm runnin'

F
  Full force, dear

C                              E
  But it's harder when you're bones

A
  I'm weakened

F
  But I'm flyin'

C                   E
  Out of this hell hole
[Chorus]
A                                   F
Why do you have to sell me to those mean old men?

It's normalcy to me, but how will my friends understand?

F                            A
Finally the light is comin' close

F                    A
No turning back, run full force

F                        A   
Angels swoop down and grab me

   F
And now I'm safe away

                         E
From the million men who raised me

I'm seventeen
