Intro: G#..B-Bb-G#-B...Bb-B-Bb (3X)

Bb(pm)-B(pm)





Verse 1:

G#            B

When we were kids

         Bb                                       G#   B

We were told to respect our elders and what they did

                 Bb

Only speak when spoken to

G#              B

When she was stripped

         Bb                                      G#     B

Of the trust bestowed to us by the one that she loved

                           Bb

She didn't know she could run to You





E*(16X)





CHORUS:

B       Bb              G#                                        B

It's a sad time we live in, little girls grow up scared of their dads

        Bb                        G#

It's a feeling they should never have

B             Bb            G#                                   B

What kind of person can do this, how worthless is the word innocence

        Bb              G#

To her dear old loving dad?





Verse 2:

G#           B

Now her mom sits

Bb                                         G#

Wondering why her baby goes through these fits

           B               Bb

Of anger, torment, and of rage

G#              B

Oh please dear God

Bb                                      G#   B

Pick up this small beauty and show her You

                     Bb

And all the wonders You can do





E* (16X)





(CHORUS)





(INTRO (muted))





G#         F*   E*

He showed her exactly how to hate

D#                    C#             E*   D#

Him a full grown man, she was only eight

G#        F*       E*

He stole what was most precious to her

D#                            C#            E*    D#

Nothing was more sacred, and cannot be returned
