 A                                                               
  Look inside for the elusive goldmine. Broken glass and a little
               G               E      A              
 cheap wine is  all that I can  find.  And bundles of
                                                     G            
 contradictions, my heart full of loose connections,  hands across
    E      G         E                        A         
 my  eyes.  I cannot  disguise I'm everyman's  daughter.
            Em        
 Everyman's  daughter.
 
 A                                                                
  It's always the same old question. Who am I and whose invention?
      G                 E      A                             
 This  armour's full of  dust.  There's so much of us in each
                                                 G             E   
 other. If I hate you you're my best reminder of  all I wish I was.
 G                  E                    A                    
  I hate you just because I'm everyman's  daughter. Everyman's
 Em                    A                     Em        
  daughter. Everyman's  daughter. Everyman's  daughter.
 
 A                 C       G    A               C       
  Who do you think  that I  am? It don't matter  as long
    G            E      A                     Em         
 as  we can understand.  I am hurting someone  just like,
           A    
 just like  you.
 
 A                                                          
 Insulting the wounds of others, my sisters, my brothers, my
 G                E      A                                    
 vision's way too  good.  I carry the inward aching. Like you,
                 G                  E      G                 
 I too am naked.  I don't look that  good.  This is flesh and
 E                     A                     Em        
  blood I'm everyman's  daughter. Everyman's  daughter.
 
 A            c                G       A                 
  Look at all  the blood we've  spilt.  I can't deal with
 C         G            E       A                    
  all this  fundamental  guilt.  I am hurting someone
 Em                    A    
  just like, just like  you.
 
 Em   C    G               A            
 I am I am I am everyman's  daughter. 2x
            Em                    A         
 Everyman's  daughter. Everyman's  daughter.
            Em       
 Everyman's  daughter
