Perfectly Clear, 2008

Intro: D G Em7 A

I guess you could say I’m one of those girls
That’s always been with one of those guys
You know the type
Like right now, he sleeps while I write
But it’s better than crying
I’m worn out from trying

I’m not welcome here
Just till he’s hungry or frisky

or needs something clean
And you know what I mean
But not tonight
‘Cause come the morning light, oh

I’m gonna love my-self more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can’t see
The stronger woman in me
I’m going to be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won’t lose myself again, never, no,
‘Cause there’s a stronger woman,
A stronger woman in me

Light bulbs buzz, I get up
And head to my drawer
I wish there was more I could say
Another fairytale fades to gray
I’ve lived on hope, like a child
Walking that mile, faking that smile
All the while, wishing my heart had wings
Well from now on, I’m going to be
The kind of woman I’d want my daughter to be, oh

I’m gonna love my-self more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can’t see
The stronger woman in me
I’m going to be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won’t lose myself again, never, no,
‘Cause there’s a stronger woman,
Stronger woman in me

Bridge:
This is me, packing up my bags
And this is me, headed for the door
And this is me, the best you ever had

(First couple lines fingerpicked)

I’m gonna love my-self more than anyone else
Believe in me, even if someone can’t see
The stronger woman in me
I’m going to be my own best friend
Stick with me till the end
Won’t lose myself again, no, no,
‘Cause there’s a stronger woman,
A stronger woman in me
‘Cause there’s a stronger woman,
NC
A stronger woman in me
