Miss Maggie was way too young to understand,
            D                         Em
why she got thrown into someone else's hands,
             C              G            D
why she woke up to strange men, 
Em                C
they tore her to pieces 
                       G
and she couldn't comprehend,
            D
why she was locked up in a basement,
             Em
filled with men.
                   C
Should've gone to school, 
                G               D
instead she did them.


Em
Don't touch me, 
C
I'm fragile,
G                 D
I'm bitter in my heart.


Em
Mama sold me,
C
for candy,
G                         D
and I was ruined from the start.

[Chorus]
Em                                  C
Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men? 
   G
They cut me up in places
        D
I don't even understand.
     Em
It's normalcy to me but, 
         C
how will my friends understand?

I'm five years old,

sleepin' with a million men


[Verse 2]
Em        C                   G           
All grown up and her body has decayed,
              D                          Em        C
all those promiscuous games she had to play,
                G                   D
she skipped the jungle, jungle-gym phase.


Em              C                           G
She's tryin' to look at things in a bright way,
                 D                               Em
sees the light peekin' through the end of the hallway,
 C               G                     D
No, She's tryin' tryin' tryin' to escape


Em
I'm runnin' 
C
full force dear
G                             D
but it's hard when you're bones.
Em             C
I'm weak kneed but I'm flyin'
G                  D
out of this hell hole. 

[Chorus]
Em                                  C
Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men? 
   G
They cut me up in places
        D
I don't even understand.

It's normalcy to me but 
         C
how will my friends understand?
     G
I'm ten years old,
D                       Em        C      G      D
runnin' from a million men

A million men


[Bridge]
Em           C           G       D 
Finally, the light is comin' close,
Em           C 
no turning back,
G           D
run full force.
Em            C           G       D
Angels swoop down and grab me,
     Em          C
and now I'm safe away,
      G                    D
from the million men who raised me.



[Chorus]
Em                                  C
Why'd you have to sell me to those mean old men? 
   G
They cut me up in places
        D
I don't even understand.
     Em
It's normalcy to me but, 
            C
how will my boyfriend understand?
