Dm Gm Dm
There was a girl i used to know
Gm Dm
She was oh so beautiful
Gm Dm
But she's not here anymore
Dm Gm Dm
She had a college degree
Gm Dm
Smart as anyone could be
Gm Dm
She had so much to live for
Gm
Bridge 1: But she fell in love
Dm
With the wrong kind of man
Gm Dm
He abused her love and treated her so bad
Gm Dm
There was not enough education in her world
G A7
That could save the life of this little girl
Chorus:
D A
How come, how long
Am B
It's not right, it's so wrong
Em
Do we let it just go on
A
Turn our backs and carry on
D A
Wake up, for it's too late
Am B
Right now, we can't wait
Em
She won't have a second try
A7
Open up your hearts
Dm
As well as your eyes

2. She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's why we'd like to tell ourselves
But not! It wasn't that way
Bridge 2: So she fell in Love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we can not ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save somebody's life ...
>>Chorus<<
