Everything's gonna be alright

Cuz daddy had a little too much to drink
D Am
And mama didn't want her to feel the pain she felt
C
But she still felt the pain
G
Well 10 years they came and went

And dad was gone
Am
So she looked for love in other men
C
And tried to act strong.
G D
Oh broken hearts and Scars in only places she could see
Am C (Once)
Cuz she just wanted, she just wanted to feel something
G
And as she sat there on her bed
D
thinkin bout what those girls said
Am
tears streamed down her eyes
C (Once. Pause)
She cried
G
If there's a God out there

Please hear my prayer.

I'm lost and I'm scared

and I've got no where else to go

I've come a long, long way

I've come a long, long way

God's love.

There's something you must know...

And I had no where else to go.
