Oh, I am a girl, the for[F]gettable face
And no [C]matter my colour, no [F]matter my name
At [C]work there is a boy and he treats me we[F]ll[Csus4-F]
My [C]old friends from high school, I [F]see them around[C][F]
Well, [C]August is here, I can't be[F]lieve how fast
[C]Soon there will be winter and [F]snow on the ground
[Am]Maybe by then I could get my own pl[F]ace
[C]Closer to the city, if [F]that's okay
CHORUS:
But Ma[G]ma, can you hear [Am]me?
As I [F]dragged on my day's last cigarette[C]
He [G]pulled me [Am]so hard
Off my [F]very own back door steps[C]
And he [G]laid me in his [Am]garden
All the [F]years I've watched him tend[C]
And he [G]took me, Ma[Am]ma
So I could [F]never tell you abo[C]ut it
INTERLUDE: Am G F C
And inside of this moment there are [F]things I wish I could know
Like your [C]ring size and my ring size and the [F]hour I was born
And my [Am]dad's middle name and your [F]favourite song
Was your [C]darkest day as [F]dark as this one?
CHORUS:
Ma[G]ma, can you hear [Am]me?
As I [F]dragged on my day's last cigarette[C]
He [G]pulled me [Am]so hard
Off my [F]very own back door steps[C]
And he [G]laid me in his [Am]garden
All the [F]years I've watched him tend[C]
And then he [G]took me, Ma[Am]ma
So I could [F]never tell you abo[C]ut it
Now I'm a [F]girl who's face they'll never forge[C]t
INTERLUDE:
Oh ooh [Am]oh [G]oh[F]hh
Oh ooh [Am]oh [G]oh[F]hh
Oh ooh [Am]oh [G]oh[F]hh
