Lyrics

Once up (Bm)on a time,

there was a (F#7sus)girl.

In her (Bm)ear ly years,

she had to (F#7sus)learn

how to (Bm)grow up liv ing in a (Gmaj7)war that she called (F#7sus)home;

nev er (Bm)knew just where to turn for shel ter from the storm.

It hurt me to see the pain

a cross my moth er’s face

ev ’ry time my fa ther’s fist would put her in her place.

Hear ing all the yell ing, I would (Bm)cry up in my room,

hop ing it would be o ver (F#)soon.

Bruis es fade, fa ther, but the (D)pain re mains the same,

and I still re mem ber how you (D)kept me so a fraid.

Strength is my moth er for all the (D)love she gave.

And ev ’ry (A)morn ing that I wake,

I look (Em)back at yes ter day,

and I’m O (Bm)K.

I of ten (Bm)won der why

I car ry all this (F#7sus)guilt,

when it’s (Bm)you that helped me put up all these (F#7sus)walls I built.

Shad ows stir at night through a (Bm)crack in the door,

the ech o of a bro ken child scream ing, “Please, no more.”

Dad dy, don’t you un der stand the (Bm)dam age you have done?

For you it’s just a mem o ry, but for (F#)me, it still lives on.

(Em)back at yes ter day...

It’s not so eas y to for get

all the marks you left

a long her neck;

when I was thrown a gainst cold stairs;

and ev ’ry day, a fraid to (Am)come home, in fear of

what I might (F#)see

next.

Bruis es fade, fa ther, but the (D)pain re mains the same,

and I still re mem ber how you (D)kept me so a fraid.

Strength is my moth er for all the (D)love she gave.

And ev ’ry (A)morn ing that I wake,

I look (Em)back at yes ter day,

and I’m O (Bm)K.

Mm,

I’m O (Bm)K.

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Can I slow "I'm Ok" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
