Wicked Girls Saving Ourselves

Bm A Bm Wendy played fair, and she played by the rules that they gave her; Bm A E F# They say she grew up and grew old -- Peter Pan couldn't save her. G Bm They say she went home, and she never looked back, A Em F#m Got her feet on the ground, got her life on its track. G D A She's the patron saint priestess of all the lost girls who got found. Bm Em A Bm And she once had her head in the clouds, but she died on the ground. Bm A Bm Dorothy just wanted something that she could believe in, Bm A E F# A gray dustbowl girl in a life she was better off leavin'. G Bm She made her escape, went from gray into green, A Em F#m And she could have got clear, and she could have got clean, G D A But she chose to be good and go back to the gray Kansas sky Bm Em A Bm Where color's a fable and freedom's a fairy tale lie. G D Dorothy, Alice and Wendy and Jane, Em Bm Susan and Lucy, we're calling your names, G D All the Lost Girls who came out of the rain Em F#m And chose to go back on the shelf. G D Tinker Bell says, and I find I agree A Bm You have to break rules if you want to break free. G D So do as you like -- we're determined to be Em F# Bm Wicked girls saving ourselves. Bm A Bm Alice got lost, and I guess that we really can't blame her; Bm A E F# They say she got tangled and tied in the lies that became her. G Bm They say she went mad, and she never complained, A Em F#m For there's peace of a kind in a life unconstrained. G D A She gives Cheshire kisses, she's easy with white rabbit smiles, Bm Em A Bm And she'll never be free, but she's won herself safe for a while. Bm A Bm Susan and Lucy were queens, and they ruled well and proudly. Bm A E F# They honored their land and their lord, rang the bells long and loudly. G Bm They never once asked to return to their lives A Em F#m To be children and chattel and mothers and wives, G D A But the land cast them out in a lesson that only one learned; Bm Em A Bm And one queen said 'I am not a toy', and she never returned. G D Dorothy, Alice and Wendy and Jane, Em Bm Susan and Lucy, we're calling your names, G D All the Lost Girls who came out of the rain Em F#m And chose to go back on the shelf. G D Tinker Bell says, and I find I agree A Bm You have to break rules if you want to break free. G D So do as you like -- we're determined to be Em F# Bm Wicked girls saving ourselves. Bm A Bm Mandy's a pirate, and Mia weaves silk shrouds for faeries, Bm A E F# And Deborah will pour you red wine pressed from sweet poisoned berries. G Bm Kate poses riddles and Mary plays tricks, A Em F#m While Kaia builds towers from brambles and sticks, G D And the rules that we live by are simple and clear: Em F# Be wicked and lovely and don't live in fear -- G D Dorothy, Alice and Wendy and Jane, Em Bm Susan and Lucy, we're calling your names, G D All the Lost Girls who came out of the rain Em F#m And chose to go back on the shelf. G D Tinker Bell says, and I find I agree A Bm You have to break rules if you want to break free. G D So do as you like -- we're determined to be Em F# Bm Wicked girls saving ourselves. G D For we will be wicked and we will be fair Em Bm And they'll call us such names, and we really won't care, G D So go, tell your Wendys, your Susans, your Janes, Em F#m There's a place they can go if they're tired of chains, G D And our roads may be golden, or broken, or lost, A Bm But we'll walk on them willingly, knowing the cost -- Em F# We won't take our place on the shelves. G D It's better to fly and it's better to die Em F# G A Say the wicked girls saving ourselves. Em F# Bm We're wicked girls saving ourselves.
