Sticks & Stones by Nicola Roberts
[Intro]
Dm  C  Bb  F
CoulDmdn't you tell lies to me?, CCouldn't you say I'm Bbpretty? Now that's eFnough.
Tells mDme that she hates the play Cground, How can they hurt, words Bbare just sounds? so take your shoFt.
I don't Gmwant them to see that they're makiBbng it hard for me, at home FI cry
FBet that you think that you're on your oCmwn and you've no Ebone's hand to hold
StBbicks and stones hurt just a liFttle,
FWouldn't it be wrong if we're all the Cmsame? Don't surrender - don't you Ebchange
StBbicks and stones hurt just a liDmttle. CThey hurt just Bba little.F  
FWith all thDme mean words they're uglCy, staDmrting to Csee I'm lucky and Bbthat's enouFgh.
FI'd rather Dmbe alone in my world, I'Cd rathDmer be the Cgirl that gets hBburt;  so takFe your shot!
I don't Gmwant them to see that they're makiBbng it hard for me, at home FI cry
FBet that you think that you're on your oCmwn and you've no Ebone's hand to hold
StBbicks and stones hurt just a liFttle,
FWouldn't it be wrong if we're all the Cmsame? Don't surrender - don't you Ebchange
StBbicks and stones hurt just a liDmttle.
BbToo young to buy my own bottle of vodka so I'd beg the driver "Please, I need another"
How fDmunny that I was too young for so many things
Yet you thought I'd cope with being told  I'm ugly
OveBbr and over I'd read it believe it, said no to the shrink I can fix me I think
I got Dmfriends in my head they've got me on the mend, I am pretty in my mirror, easy to pretend!
17 and Bbthought that I'd won the jackpot, seems I didn't read between the lines of this one
I caCn't think why I could of made you so, so angry
CYour bullets I don't feel them - come on and fiFre at me
FBet that you think that you're on your oCmwn and you've no Ebone's hand to hold
StBbicks and stones hurt just a liFttle,
FWouldn't it be wrong if we're all the Cmsame? Don't surrender - don't you Ebchange
StBbicks and stones hurt just a liDttle.C  
CThey hurt just a Bblittle.F  
[Outro]
F   Dm  C  Gm   F

Too young to buy my own bottle of vodka so I'd beg the driver "Please, I need another"

How funny that I was too young for so many things

Yet you thought I'd cope with being told I'm ugly

Over and over I'd read it believe it, said no to the shrink I can fix me I think

I got friends in my head they've got me on the mend, I am pretty in my mirror, easy to pretend!

17 and thought that I'd won the jackpot, seems I didn't read between the lines of this one

I can't think why I could of made you so, so angry

C F

Your bullets I don't feel them - come on and fire at me

F Cm Eb

Bet that you think that you're on your own and you've no one's hand to hold

Bb F

Sticks and stones hurt just a little,

F Cm Eb

Wouldn't it be wrong if we're all the same? Don't surrender - don't you change

Bb D C

They hurt just a little.
