( you can substitute the "D/F#" for "Bm" 
  just sounds better using the "D/F#" because it 
  carries the 'F#" bass note)

(verse 1) 
      Em7           D 
I was born 3 months too early,

The doctor gave me 30 days,

But I must have had my mama's will,  
    D/F#           G

   Em7                D 
I guess I'll keep on livin,  
    D/F#               G 
Even if this love's to die for,  
         C 
Cuz your bags are packed,

      Bm 
Your walkin out and I'm not tryin,

                  A 
Cuz I was born to be,  
 
     G 
The baby girl without a chance,  
    Bm 
A victim of circumstance,

           Em7           D 
I don't believe in self pity, 
   D/F#              G 
It only brings you down,  
            Em7              D 
May be the queen of broken hearts,  
            D/F#              G 
But I don't hide behind the crown,  
         Em7                D 
When the deck is stacked against me,  
       D/F#               G 
I just play a different game,  
    C 
My roots are planted in the past,  
      Bm 
And though my life is changing fast,  
Bb                      A 
Who I am is who I wanna be,  
 
     G
