Hold My Hand Tab par Kimya Dawson

     Once I knew a little girl
G
     Who refused to eat
C
She just         banged her head against the floor and
F
     Didn?t sleep for a week
F             G
     Both of her parents were      mentally delayed and they
C                      F
     Lived in constant fear that their daughter would be      taken away
F             G
So instead of getting help they just pretended
             C
Everything was okay
C----
        F
So I called the social worker and said
G
     Something is wrong, she said
C             F
     You know how she turns into a brat when she doesn?t get what she wants
F            G              C
I?ll call you later when I?m done playing with my dog
C----
F            G            C              F
Sometimes the world is dark and cold
F                 G         C             F
And no matter what I?m told
            F                       G                     C               F
I?m scared and I?m alone and I?m five years old
F                G               C
Will you hold my hand?
C----
F
     Once I knew a little guy
G C
     Runny nose and bruises on his thighs and I said hey
             F
What happened here
F  
He looked at me and said
GC
     Well my dad he hates me
C
            F
So I called the social worker confidentially
G
     And she called his mom and said
C             F
     Guess who thinks your husband is      beating up your son
F               G
Next thing I knew that family packed up
          C
And they were gone
C----
F        G     C                 F
Back pressed flat against the wall
F                G          C          F
And they hit me with a ball
F                 G         C           F
Pretend it didn?t hurt at all
F               G              C
Will you hold my hand?
C----
F
     Maybe I?ll call Oprah
        G
There must be      something she can do
              C  F
I?ll say      I?m fat and I?m black and I?m sick of seeing      little kids feel blue
F            G
And me and Oprah we will      fix CPS
 C      F
And we?ll      make sure that people working with kids have bigger hearts than the rest
F
And if you want to have a baby
G      C
     You?ll have to past a test
C----
    F                G             C                     F
It sucks when for a little kid living means lying
                F      G                       C                         F
And the only place you feel safe is pretending you're flying
   F              G                C                 F
And you?d rather be caught dead than be caught crying
F              G             C
Will you hold my hand?
C----
F    G
Abuse and neglect are      highly contagious so
C
     I called that social worker up and I said
F
     Hey lady you?re outrageous
F
She said smarty pants
G
     You want a gold star?
            C
I said      no I wanna bash your head in
F
     With a crowbar
         F             G
But      the cycle of violence      has to end somewhere
C----
F                 G         C                 F
Come and take a swim with me
F                            G         C         F
We?ll wait under water patiently 
F                              G                                   C                              F
For the output of endorphins as we?re swallowed by the sea
F              G              C
Will you hold my hand?
F              G              C
Will you hold my hand?
F              G              C
Will you hold my hand?
