Am Dm Am
There was a girl i used to know
Dm Am
She was oh so beautiful
Dm Am
But she's not here anymore
Am Dm Am
She had a college degree
Dm Am
Smart as anyone could be
Dm Am
She had so much to live for
Dm
Bridge 1: But she fell in love
Am
With the wrong kind of man
Dm Am
He abused her love and treated her so bad
Dm Am
There was not enough education in her world
D E7
That could save the life of this little girl
Chorus:
A E
How come, how long
Em F#
It's not right, it's so wrong
Bm
Do we let it just go on
E
Turn our backs and carry on
A E
Wake up, for it's too late
Em F#
Right now, we can't wait
Bm
She won't have a second try
E7
Open up your hearts
Am
As well as your eyes
Interlude: | Am | Am | Am | Am |
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<<
