It's another day at [B] school and he's just walking out the [Bb] door.
Got his rucksack on his back and his feet dragging on the floor.
Always late for when [E] he's questioned he can't think of what to [Bb] say.
Has the bruises from the teachers hoping that they go away.
Even though his mom [B] and dad they both got problems of [Bb] their own.
Called an up-cast 22 but he still [Gm] rather be at home.
Cries himself to sleep [Bm] and pays money but somethings might have [Bb] changed.
But everything's still the same.
But [G] didn't you say.
[F] You always said that I should [B] speak up.
But it [G] seems like all the things you [F] said to me before were [E] nothing at all.
[A] Because.
[Bb] I keep [C] telling you that [A] Johnny's hitting me that's why I'm late for [Bb] school.

You always cry.

You know.
Every [C] time I say that [Am] Johnny's hitting me hey mom and [F] dad it hurts.
[Bm] [Bb] [Bb]
Every day keeps on [E] repeating like the record on [Bb] replay.
Slowly getting off the bus with Johnny waiting at the gates.
Like a flame I'll smile [B] and wave at him I'll call him out [Bb] his name.
Put his arm around his neck whisper now give me all your change.
He's too afraid to make a [B] scene or plead with him to let him [Bb] go.
He just takes whatever's coming fills the [Gm] pain with every blow.
Cries in vain to make [Bm] himself be heard as soon as he [Bb] gets home.
But everything's still the same.
