Girl i've got scars,and i've seen stars,From 
C5
men nearly 
D5
twice my 
G5
size.Hit with sticks and stones and broke a few bones. 
C5
but i've allways sur 
D5
vived. 
G5
When I take a look at all I've took,It 
C5
don't seem 
D5
right to 
G5
me.How a little bitty woman with just just a few 
G5
words could 
C5
bring me to my 
G5
knees.

G5
Sticks and 
C5
stones wouldn't hurt a bit' 
G5
compared to the cold cruel 
C5
words that just left your 
D5
lips i'd rather you 
C5
picked up a rock a  
D5
stick full of 
G5
thorns rared back and let her 
C5
fly.Cause those sticks wouldn't 
G5
cut. 
D5
stones hurt as much as the 
G5
sound of your goodbye.

Yes I know i'm the reason,for your leavin'.I'm to blame sure enough. 
It's like you say there's not a woman made,who can live without true love. 
So if it's too late to set things streight,there's no forgivin' me. 
Don't say nothin' just pick up somethin' that'll end this misery.
