Off She Goes (​Boses​)
Music and Lyrics by Melisa Camba
A - C#m7- Bm7 - Dm
There’s a woman I know
Who had no choice but leave home
‘Cause her sons need to eat
And they’re growing fast so --
A - C#m7- Bm7 - Dm
She flew far away
In a sea of new faces
She was pushed through a door
They made her sign a few papers
F#m - C#m7 - D - Dm
So she whispered to herself
There’s nothing to fear
You’re lucky you’re here
F#m - C#m7 - D - E - A
She took a deep breath and then
She straightened her spine
She put up a smile
And off she goes
Instrumental: ​A - C#m7- Bm7 - Dm
A - C#m7- Bm7 - Dm
There’s a woman I know
Who had dreams and high hopes
To provide a better life
For her family back home
A - C#m7- Bm7 - Dm
So she managed a household
That wasn’t her own
Though her paycheck comes late
Still, she tries to push on
F#m - C#m7 - D - Dm
So she whispered to herself,
There’s nothing to fear
You’re lucky you’re here
F#m - C#m7 - D - E - A
She took a deep breath and then
She straightened her spine,
She put up a smile
And off she goes
C#m7 - D
The future never ever felt so uncertain
The future never ever felt so unknown
The hurt, the blood, the pain
The anger, they remain unspoken
F#m - D
But for them she will fight
Though the things don’t seem right
F#m - E - D
So she stays, and she prays for the nightmare
to stop
A - C#m7- Bm7 - Dm - A
There’s a woman I know
Who lives every tomorrow
As a cycle repeating
Same old song she is singing
Sara’s Song (​Boses)​
Music and Lyrics by Melisa Camba

Intro : ​ ​G Am Bm -- C Refrain:
And you tell yourself no
Verse: And you ask yourself why
G Am Bm -- C And you look for the strength and the courage
You stand in an empty little space That you think are now gone
G
Four concrete walls G - G/F# - Em
Am Bm -- C
Oh, oh, oh (2x)
A single light, and you’re suitcase

It’s late and you’re still not sleeping Bridge:

You close your eyes, Em Eb
C -- D If you speak it may feel like
You think of home, and you started weeping G ------------G/F# - Em
Everything might fall apart
Refrain: Am7 Bm C
C D But maybe this is your brand new start
And you tell yourself no
C D Em Eb
And you ask yourself why And the war you’ve been fighting
C Em D G ---G/F# - Em
And you look back to when life was better Day by day
C C D
When you thought it was not Might have a different end
C D
Verse: If you break the silence, and…
You work as if there’s no tomorrow
Another scratch, another bruise
C D
Hiding your sorrows You tell yourself go
C D ---- C
Each day is a battle repeating You push yourself, run
They draw their swords Em
They shoot their guns And you gather your strength
Your numb, barely breathing ​D
And your courage
​C
They were never gone
​D
Your fight has begun

Outro : ​G Am Bm -- C
