[A] afraid as she [E] grew, [B]
[A] and strange [F#] and so [A] hopelessly hopeful, [E] her
body's a difficult sister, [A] she loves her, [E] and hides her somewhere in [B] herself, safe [A] from harm.

there [A] again.

Wish her [E] [B] everything, [A] afraid as she [E] [B] [A] remains, proud and strange [F#] and so [A] hopelessly hopeful.
[E] [B] Wishes and [A] prayers, I would wish on [E] everything, [B] but no, [A] not as she [E] grows, and [B] as she moves,
[A] proud and strange and [F#] so [A] hopelessly hopeful.
