Look inside for the elusive goldmine. Broken glass and a little

cheap wine is [G] all that I can [E] find. [A] And bundles of

contradictions, my heart full of loose connections, [G] hands across

my [E] eyes. [G] I cannot [E] disguise I'm everyman's [A] daughter.

Everyman's [Em] daughter.

It's always the same old question. Who am I and whose invention?

This [G] armour's full of [E] dust. [A] There's so much of us in each

other. If I hate you you're my best reminder of [G] all I wish I [E]was.

I hate you just be[E]cause I'm everyman's [A] daughter. Everyman's

daughter. Everyman's [A] daughter. Everyman's [Em] daughter.

Who do you think [C] that I [G] am? [A]It don't matter [C] as long

as [G] we can under[E]stand. [A] I am hurting someone [Em] just like,

just like [A] you.

Insulting the wounds of others, my sisters, my brothers, my

vision's way too [E] good. [A] I carry the inward aching. Like you,

I too am naked. [G] I don't look that [E] good. [G] This is flesh and

blood I'm everyman's [A] daughter. Everyman's [Em] daughter.

Look at all [c] the blood we've [G] spilt. [A] I can't deal with

all this [G] fundamental [E] guilt. [A] I am hurting someone

just like, just like [A] you.

I am [C]I am [G]I am everyman's [A] daughter. 2x

Everyman's [Em] daughter. Everyman's [A] daughter.

Everyman's [Em] daughter

End on [A]
