Christina Aguilera - I'm OK: chords

Bm   Bm/A    Gmaj7      F#
Once upon a time there was a girl.
In her early years she had to learn
How to grow up living in a war that she called home
Never knew just where to turn for shelter from the storm

Em                         Bm
It hurt me to see the pain
across my mother's face
Em
Everytime my father's fist would
F#
Put her in her place
G
Hearing all the yelling I would
 Bm
cry up in my room
G                          F#
Hoping it would be over soon..

Chorus:
G                              D
Bruises fade, father, but the pain remains the same
G                             D
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
G                                   D
Strength is my mother, for all the love she gave
          A
And ev'ry morning that I wake,
       Em
I look back at yesterday
        Bm Bm/A Gmaj7 F#7
And I'm ok...

I often wonder why I carry all this guilt
When it's you that helped me put up all these walls I've built
Shadows stir at night through a crack in the door
The echo of a broken child screaming, "Please, no more"
Daddy, don't you understand the damage you have done?
To you, it's just a memory, but for me, it still lives on

Chorus:
Bruises fade, Father, but the pain remains the same
And I still remember how you kept me so, so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love she gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back to yesterday

C            G/B       Am
It's not so easy to forget
All the marks you left along her neck
When I was thrown against cold stairs
And every day, I'm afraid to come home
                         F#
In fear of, what I might see next...

Chorus:
Bruises fade, Father, but the pain remains the same (Same)
And I still remember how you kept me so afraid
Strength is my mother for all the love you gave
Every morning that I wake, I look back to yesterday
And I'm OK
I'm OK
