[Intro]
Bbm Db Ab Gb x2
[Verse 1]
Bbm Why, in East LA Ab Gb There's a little girl dreaming of her family Bbm She says, "The system won't give love for me Ab Gb Another lost soul's what you'll wind up being" Bbm Later on, in her teenage years Ab Gb After a million disappointments and some dried up tears, yeah Bbm Bb Ran to the streets to be safe from fear Ab Of another group home that she'll wind up leaving
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm Db Ab No, don't got no chance at life Gb No, might just end up dying Bbm Db Ab No, no parents or no rights Gb So, so hold back from crying
[Chorus]
Bbm Db Ab Been falling in quicksand all her life Gb Bbm Hoping for a hand to pull her out Db Ab She tried to leave this world behind Gb But the ground is caving Bbm Db Ab Gb Bbm Db Ab Gb She don't got nobody like you do (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Bbm Bb Then she finally falls in love Ab Gb What is love really when you're high on drugs? Bbm Bb He taught her how to hold a gun Ab F And to keep her hand steady while he bags the money Bbm Db Knock the dirty mattress down Ab Gb Hundred dollar bills and they roll around Bbm Db Police are kicking down the door Ab Gb She got tripped up and he takes off running
[Pre-Chorus]
Bbm Db Ab No, don't got no chance at life Gb No, might just end up dying Bbm Db Ab No, no parents or no rights Gb So, so hold back from crying
[Chorus]
Bbm Db Ab Been falling in quicksand all her life Gb Bbm Hoping for a hand to pull her out Db Ab She tried to leave this world behind Gb But the ground is caving Bbm Db Ab Gb Bbm Db Ab She don't got nobody like you do (Yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
Bbm Beat down, another night in juvie Fm Gb On her own again, saying, "I wish they'd shoot me" Bbm Ab Still got no place to go Gb No white picket fence she can call her home
[Chorus]
Bbm Db Ab Been falling in quicksand all her life Gb Bbm Hoping for a hand to pull her out Db Ab She tried to leave this world behind Gb But the ground is caving Bbm Db Ab Gb Bbm Db Ab Gb She don't got nobody like you do (Yeah, yeah) Bbm Db Ab Gb Bbm Db Ab Gb She don't got nobody like you do (Yeah, yeah)
