Capo 3
[Verse 1]
Please [C]help me God, I [G]feel so alone
I'm [Am]just a kid, I can't take it on my own
I've [C]cried so many tears, yeah, [G]writing this song
[Am]Trying to fit in. Where do I belong?
I [C]wake up every day, don't [G]wanna leave my home
My [Am]mamma's askin' me why I'm always alone
Too [Dm]scared to say, too [Em]scared to holler
F
I'm walking to school with sweat around my collar
I'm [C]just a kid, I [G]don't want no stress
My [Am]nerves are bad, my life's a mess
The [C]names you call me, they [G]hurt real bad
I [Am]want to tell my Mom
She's havin' trouble with my Dad
[C] I feel so trapped, there's [G]nowhere to turn
[Am]Come to school
Don't wanna fight I wanna learn
S[Dm]o please mister Bully
Tell [Em]me what I've done
F
You know I have no Dad
I'm livin' with my Mom
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm [C]hopeful, [G]yes, I am
[Am]Hopeful for today
Take this [C]music and [G]use it
Let it [Am]take you away
And be [C]hopeful, [G]hopeful
And [Am]He'll make a way
I [Dm]know it ain't [Em]easy but [F]that's okay
Just be [C]hopeful
[Verse 2]
Why do you trip at the [G]colour of my skin
And [Am]whether I'm fat or whether I'm thin
You [C]call me loser, you [G]call me a fool
I [Am]ain't got a choice, I gotta go to school
I [C]wish I had an angel to [G]stand by my side
I'm [Am]shaking with fear, I'm so scared inside
[Dm]Doesn't really matter if I [Em]ain't got the looks
F
Why do you always hurt me and destroy my books?
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm [C]hopeful, [G]yes, I am
[Am]Hopeful for today
Take this [C]music and [G]use it
Let it [Am]take you away
And be [C]hopeful, [G]hopeful
And [Am]He'll make a way
I [Dm]know it ain't [Em]easy but [F]that's okay
C
Just be hopeful
[Verse]
G
I give you all my money every single day
Am
I didn't ask to be born but now I have to pay
C G
I ain't got no food, you take all I have
Am
When I give it to you, you search through my bags
I [C]wrote this song for [G]you to see
We [Am]could've been friends, yeah you and me
[Dm]Mister bully, take [Em]a moment please
F
Every single day you bring me to my knees
