[Intro]
D/E E7 G Gmaj7
[Verse 1]
D E7
Gazin' out the windows of the bus
G Gmaj7 D
Watchin' Maryland pass by
D
There was sky and where there wasn't
E7
There was the thought of us
G Gmaj7 D C
Maryland passed and so did I
[Chorus]
G Gmaj7
Soft like wax, sharp as an axe
D A/C# Bm7 C
Both can't be true in my world
G Gmaj7
New indentations cover my back
D A/C# Bm7 Em7 A
Goddamn it, I'm at least somebody's strong girl, mm
D D
Aren't I?
[Verse 2]
E7
You surprised me on the road I didn't catch
G Gmaj7 D D
Your distinct footfalls up the stage
E7
I'll admit that made the tour less of a drag
G Gmaj7 D C
And like a child or a fool, I hoped you'd stay
[Chorus]
G Gmaj7
Revolving doors spit me out onto the street
D A/C# Bm7 C
Sling my bags over my shoulder and cry
G
Press my belly, pull the tab
Gmaj7 D
And just maybe I'll flash my teeth
A/C# Bm7 Em7
The achе's the best index for drivе
A
In my mother's words
D A/C# Bm7
Just drag your heels and don't you draw a line
Em7
Be strong, girl
A
Strong girl
C Gmaj7

[Bridge]
G
It's to the death or less than nothing
D A/C# Bm7
I'm a pendulum, I don't know where I'll land
Em A
I just know that I can swing it, I'll always swing it
[Chorus]
D A/C# Bm7
Cause goddamn it, fuck if I'm not everybody's
Em A
Strong girl, mm
D A/C# Bm7
Ooh
Em A
Strong girl
D A/C# Bm7 C
Who am I if I can't be everybody's strong girl? (Strong girl)
G
Strong girl (Strong girl)
G
