Intro: Em - H
Em
I wrote a song, a journal
H
Gave it to the world
Told the story
Em
Of when I was just a girl
Em
I sought understanding
H
Clarity in truth
By baring all the wounds
Em
Inflicted on my youth
Em
You criticized my choice
H
To stand up to my past
To give the pain a voice
Em
So that it too could pass
Em
But I felt brave
H
And filled with pride as I let go
Em
Of bitterness that wouldn??t leave or let me grow
AmEm
But I will spend a lifetime
AmEm
Trying to understand
AmEm
Why someone sharing my bloodline
AmE
Would not lend me their hand
AFAFE
Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...

Em
I loved her more than myself
H
But she made me choose
Between her and my father
Em
And so I refused
I fled her house and wrath
H
Eleven years of age
Followed the crooked path
Em
That led me to a stage
The curtains opened up
H
My heart followed the lead
The music wouldn??t stop
Em
And I could finally breathe
AmEm
But I will spend a lifetime
AmEm
Trying to understand
AmEm
Why someone sharing my bloodline
AmE
Would not lend me their hand

Am I supposed to apologize? I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I...
