(G) 
 
(G)Girl I've got scars and (C)I've seen stars 
From (G)men nearly (D)twice my (G)size 
Yeah, (G)life's sticks and stones have (C)broke a few bones 
But (G)I've always surv(D)ived 
So (G)when I take a look at (C)all I've took 
It (G)don't seem (D)right to (G)me 
How a (G)little bitty woman with (D)just a few words 
Could (G)bring me (D)to my (G)knees 
 
Sticks and (C)stones wouldn't hurt a (G)bit 
Compared to the (Em)cold cruel words (C)that just left your (D)lips 
I'd rather you (C)pick up a rock, a (D)stick full of thorns 
(G)Rear back and let 'em (C)fly 
'Cause those (G)sticks wouldn't cut, (D)stones hurt as much 
As the (C)sound of (D)your good(G)bye 
 
Yeah, I (G)know I'm the reason (C)for your leavin' 
(G)I'm to blame (D)sure (G)enough 
It's (G)like you say there (C)ain't a woman made 
That can (C)live without true (D)love 
So if (G)it's too late to (C)set things straight 
And (G)there's (D)no forgiving (G)me 
Then (G)don't say nothin', just (C)pick you up something 
That'll (G)end this (D)mis(G)ery 
 
(chorus) 
 
This is the way I play this fun song. Any corrections welcome.
