So as you sit before me with a folder holding my story, you're my savior with nothing on me but power and glory,
D G F#
And surely, you'll never ignore me , cos when the court came the court date was made to disappear for me,
Em C
You think you understand me but never what I went through but you were never meant to I won't hold it against
you,
D G F#
I take a ballpoint pen to play dot to dot with the cigarette burns etched in my forearms,

So come with me take a walk on the wild side, see life in a day through a child's eyes,

So after school you'll take me shopping for some new clothes but they'll get taken off me when I get back
to the group home,
