[Intro] D/E E7 G Gmaj7 [Verse 1]

D              E7
Gazin' out the windows of the bus

G              Gmaj7    D
Watchin' Maryland pass by

          D
There was sky, and where there wasn't

       E7
There was the thought of us

G             Gmaj7         D  C
Maryland passed, and so did I

[Chorus]

               G           Gmaj7
Soft like wax, sharp as an axe

D             A/C#       Bm7    C
Both can't be true in my world

                 G        Gmaj7
New indentations cover my back

   D               A/C#      Bm7           Em7   A
Goddamn it, I'm at least somebody's strong girl, mm

       D  D
Aren't I?

[Verse 2]

                        E7
You surprised me on the road, I didn't catch

        G              Gmaj7    D    D
Your distinct footfalls up the stage

                         E7
I'll admit that made the tour less of a drag

             G           Gmaj7            D    C
And like a child or a fool, I hoped you'd stay

[Chorus]

                        G             Gmaj7
Revolving doors spit me out onto the street

         D            A/C#         Bm7  C
Sling my bags over my shoulder and cry

                         G
Press my belly, pull the tab

            Gmaj7            D
And just maybe I'll flash my teeth

               A/C#       Bm7    Em7
The achе's the best index for drivе

      A
In my mother's words

      D                   A/C#             Bm7
"Just drag your heels and don't you draw a line

            Em7
Be strong, girl"

       A
Strong girl

C Gmaj7 D A/C# Bm7 C G D A/C# Bm7 C [Bridge]

                 G
It's to the death

Or less than nothing

      D           A/C#                  Bm7
I'm a pendulum, I don't know where I'll land

                       Em                    A
I just know that I can swing it, I'll always swing it

[Chorus]

          D                A/C#         Bm7
'Cause goddamn it, fuck if I'm not everybody's

       Em    A
Strong girl, mm

D A/C# Bm7
Ooh

       Em   A
Strong girl

    D         A/C#          Bm7           C
Who am I if I can't be everybody's strong girl? (Strong girl)

       G
Strong girl (Strong girl)

       G
Aren't I?
