A
Look inside for the elusive goldmine. Broken glass and a little
G E A
cheap wine is all that I can find. And bundles of
G
contradictions, my heart full of loose connections, hands across
E G E A
my eyes. I cannot disguise I'm everyman's daughter.
Em
Everyman's daughter.
A
It's always the same old question. Who am I and whose invention?
G E A
This armour's full of dust. There's so much of us in each
G E
other. If I hate you you're my best reminder of all I wish I was.
G E A
I hate you just because I'm everyman's daughter. Everyman's
Em A Em
daughter. Everyman's daughter. Everyman's daughter.
A C G A C
Who do you think that I am? It don't matter as long
G E A Em
as we can understand. I am hurting someone just like,
A
just like you.
A
Insulting the wounds of others, my sisters, my brothers, my
G E A
vision's way too good. I carry the inward aching. Like you,
G E G
I too am naked. I don't look that good. This is flesh and
E A Em
blood I'm everyman's daughter. Everyman's daughter.
A c G A
Look at all the blood we've spilt. I can't deal with
C G E A
all this fundamental guilt. I am hurting someone
Em A
just like, just like you.
Em C G A
I am I am I am everyman's daughter. 2x
Em A
Everyman's daughter. Everyman's daughter.
Em
Everyman's daughter
A
End on
