[Intro]
C Em Am
C Em Am
[Verse]
C Em
Please help me God, I feel so alone
Am
I'm just a kid, how can I take it on my own
C Em
I've cried too many tears, yeah, writing this song
Am
Trying to fit in, where do I belong?
C Em
I wake up every day, don't want to leave my home
Am
My momma's askin' me why I'm always alone
C Em
Too scared to say, too scared to holler
F
I'm walking to school, with sweat around my collar
C Em
I'm just a kid, I don't want no stress
Am
My nerves are bad, my life's a mess
C Em
The names you call me, they hurt real bad
Am
I want to tell my Mom, she's havin' trouble with my Dad
C Em
I feel so trapped there's nowhere to turn
Am
Just goin' to school, don't wanna fight I wanna learn
C Em
So please mister bully, tell me what I've done
F
You know I have no Dad, I'm livin' with my Mom
[Chorus]
C G
Cos I'm hopeful, yes I am
Am
Hopeful for today
C G
Take this music and use it
Am
Let it take you away
C G
And be hopeful, hopeful
Am
And He'll make a way
Dm F
I know it ain't easy, but, that's okay
C
Just be hopeful
[Verse]
C Em
Why do you trip at the colour of my skin?
Am
Whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin
C Em
You call me a loser, you call me a fool
Am
I ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school
C Em
I wish I had an angel to stay by my side
Am
I'm shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside
C Em
Doesn't really matter if I ain't got the tos
F
Why do you always hurt me and destroy me
[Chorus]
C G
Cos I'm hopeful, yes I am
Am
Hopeful for today
C G
Take this music and use it

Let it take you away

I know it ain't easy, but, that's okay

[Verse]
C Em
I give you all my money, every single day
Am
I didn't ask to be born but now, I have to pay
C Em
I ain't got no food, you take all I have
Am
When I give it to you, you search through my bags
C Em
I wrote this song for you to see
Am
We could have been friends, yeah you and me
C Em
Mister bully, take in all my please
F
Every single day you bring me to my knees
