 (G)Girl I've got scars and (C)I've seen stars 
 From (G)men nearly (D)twice my (G)size 
 Yeah, (G)life's sticks and stones have (C)broke a few bones 
 But (G)I've always surv(D)ived 
 So (G)when I take a look at (C)all I've took 
 It (G)don't seem (D)right to (G)me 
 How a (G)little bitty woman with (D)just a few words 
 Could (G)bring me (D)to my (G)knees 
  
 Sticks and (C)stones wouldn't hurt a (G)bit 
 Compared to the (Em)cold cruel words (C)that just left your (D)lips 
 I'd rather you (C)pick up a rock, a (D)stick full of thorns 
 (G)Rear back and let 'em (C)fly 
 'Cause those (G)sticks wouldn't cut, (D)stones hurt as much 
 As the (C)sound of (D)your good(G)bye 
  
 Yeah, I (G)know I'm the reason (C)for your leavin' 
 (G)I'm to blame (D)sure (G)enough 
 It's (G)like you say there (C)ain't a woman made 
 That can (C)live without true (D)love 
 So if (G)it's too late to (C)set things straight 
 And (G)there's (D)no forgiving (G)me 
 Then (G)don't say nothin', just (C)pick you up something 
 That'll (G)end this (D)mis(G)ery
