[Intro]

G D G Em C G  Em C G

[Verse]

G                       Em
Girl I've got scars and I've seen stars
     C          D        G
From men nearly twice my size
                                    Em
Yeah, life's sticks and stones have broke a few bones
    C               D
But I've always survived
   G             Bm      Em
So when I take a look at all I've took
   C          D        G
It don't seem right to me
                              Em
How a little bitty woman with just a few words
      C        D     G
Could bring me to my knees

[Chorus]
           C                      G
Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit
                Em               C                   D
Compared to the cold cruel words that just left your lips
               C                   D
I'd rather you picked up a rock, a stick full of thorns
G             Bm      C
Rear back and let 'em fly - y
             G                    D
'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much
       C        D        G
As the sound of your goodbye

[Solo]
G Em C G  Em C G

[Verse]
                            Em
Yeah, I know I'm the reason for your leavin'
C            D    G
I'm to blame sure enough
                        Em
It's like you say there ain't a woman made
         C                 D
That can live without true love
      G        Bm      Em
So if it's too late to set things straight
    C                    G
And there's no forgiving me
                             Em
Then don't say nothin', just pick you up something
        C        D G
That'll end this misery

[Chorus]
           C                      G
Sticks and stones wouldn't hurt a bit
                Em               C                   D
Compared to the cold cruel words that just left your lips
               C                   D
I'd rather you picked up a rock, a stick full of thorns
G             Bm      C
Rear back and let 'em flyyyyyyy
             G                    D
'Cause those sticks wouldn't cut, stones hurt as much
       C        D        G
As the sound of your goodbye
