[Verso 1]
 
          Bm 
There was nowhere to run in the family 
     E 
When mum and dad started fighting 
    D                    E                      Bm 
Her brothers and sisters turning away they were frightened 
           Bm 
Though she worked hard at school she never pulled a trick 
    E 
The secrets to learning escaped her 
    D            E                    Bm 
The teacher said "you're just a slow achiever"

[Verso 2]
 
          Bm 
There was nowhere to run and there was nowhere to hide 
     E 
When thoughts in your mind were screaming 
              D              E                           Bm 
Hey there's a person in here starting to drown won't you save me 
         Bm 
I've got things in my head I can't understand 
E 
I need loving and a helping hand 
        G           A                Bm 
And her parents said we just don't believe ya
