Intro: D   G   Em7   A


D                         A
I guess you could say I'm one of those girls
       G                A
That's always been with one of those guys
    G
You know the type
                   A
Like right now, he sleeps while I write
         D
But it's better than crying
    A
I'm worn out from trying
     G                       A
From loving a man who always makes it clear
        G
I'm not welcome here
                         A
Just till he's hungry or frisky

or needs something clean
        G
And you know what I mean
          A
But not tonight
       G                A
'Cause come the morning light, oh

          D    G  Em7            A
I'm gonna love my-self more than anyone else
  D     G  Em7         A
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
    D        G        Em7   A
The stronger woman in me
             D     G        Em7
I'm going to be my own best friend
           A
Stick with me till the end
      D    G      Em7      A
Won't lose myself again, never, no,
                 Bm       A
'Cause there's a stronger woman,
G
A stronger woman in me


D   G   Em7   A


D                 A
Light bulbs buzz, I get up
    G
And head to my drawer
       A            G
I wish there was more I could say
             A
Another fairytale fades to gray
     D              A  
I've lived on hope, like a child
G                  A
Walking that mile, faking that smile
G                         A
All the while, wishing my heart had wings
G                              A
Well from now on, I'm going to be
G                                         A
The kind of woman I'd want my daughter to be, oh



          D    G  Em7            A
I'm gonna love my-self more than anyone else
  D     G  Em7         A
Believe in me, even if someone can't see
    D        G        Em7   A
The stronger woman in me
             D     G        Em7
I'm going to be my own best friend
           A
Stick with me till the end
      D    G      Em7      A
Won't lose myself again, never, no,
                 Bm       A
'Cause there's a stronger woman,
G
Stronger woman in me

Bridge:
        Em7               A
This is me, packing up my bags
            Em7                A
And this is me, headed for the door
            Em7                   A
And this is me, the best you ever had

Believe in me, even if someone can't see

The stronger woman in me

I'm going to be my own best friend
           A
Stick with me till the end
      D    G      Em7      A
Won't lose myself again, no, no,

A stronger woman in me
