Verse 1
There (E minor) was a girl I (B major) used to (E minor) know
She was oh (A minor) so beautiful,
(E minor) but she's not (B major) here any (Bsus4) more (E minor)
She had a (B major) college (Bsus4) de gree,
(E minor) smart as anyone (A minor) could be
(E minor) Had so much to live for
But she fell (A minor) in love
with the wrong kind of (E minor) man
He abused (A minor) her love and
treated her so bad (E minor)
There was (A minor) not enough
education in her (E minor) world
That could save (A major) the life of
this little girl (Baug)
How (B major) come, (E major) how (B major) long,
it's not right, (D major) it's so wrong
(C sharp major) Do we let (F sharp minor) it just go on?
Turn our (Bsus4) backs and carry on
Wake up (E major) , it's too late
(B major) Right now (D major) we can't wait
(C sharp major) She won't have (F sharp minor) a second try
Open (Bsus4) up your eyes
As (B major) well as (Baug) your eyes (E minor) (Bsus4) (E minor) (A minor) (E minor)
She tried to (B major) give a crap (Bsus4) for (E minor) help,
she even blamed (A minor) things on (E minor) herself
But no one (B major) came to her aid (E minor)
Nothing was wrong, far as we (Bsus4) could tell,
(E minor) that's what we like to tell (A minor) ourselves
(E minor) But no, it wasn't that (B major) way (E minor)
So she found (A minor) love with the
wrong kind (E minor) of man
And she paid (A minor) with her life
for loving that man (E minor)
So we cannot ig (A minor) nore,
we must look for the (E minor) signs
And maybe (A major) next time
we might save some (Baug) body's life
(B major) How come, (E major) how long,
(B major) it's not right, (D major) so wrong
(C sharp major) Do we let (F sharp minor) it just go on,
turn our (Bsus4) backs and carry on
Wake up, (E major) it's too late, (B major)
right now, (D major) can't wait
(C sharp major) She won't have (F sharp minor) a second try
Open up (Bsus4) your hearts (B major) as (Baug) well as your
eye (E minor) s (B major) (E minor) (F sharpdim) (A minor) (E minor)
(A minor) (E minor)
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah
I on occasion met that guy
Instantly feel (A minor) in' deep inside
(E minor) Somebody wasn't right
Oh, oh,
The way he proves himself a man
I've been this wo (A minor) man with his hands
(E minor) I wish that she'd seen the light
How can some (A minor) raven call himself a (E minor) man?
In real (A minor) ity, he's far more realist (E minor) ic
And we cannot (A minor) ig nore
whenever we see the (E minor) signs
Cause any kind (A major) of abuse,
God knows, is a crime (Baug)
How (B major) come, (E major) how long, (B major) it's not right?
(D major) So wrong, (C sharp major) do we let (F sharp minor) it just go?
Turn the (Bsus4) backseat around,
(B major) break up (E major) with her
It's too late, (B major) right now, (D major) get away
(C sharp major) She won't have (F sharp minor) a second try
Open up (Bsus4) your (B major) heart as
(Baug) well as (B major) your eye (E minor) (B major) s
(E minor) (A minor) (Bsus4) (E minor) (B major)
(E minor) Oh, ho, (E minor) ho...
