Capo 2nd fret

(Am)(Am) (A2)(Am)  (F)(F) (F)(F)  (G)(G) (G)(G)  (Em)  (E7)
(Am)(Am) (A2)(Am)  (F)(F) (F)(F)  (G)(G) (G)(G)  (Em)  (E7)
Do you still (Am)say your prayers, little darlin', do you (F)go to bed at night,
(G)Prayin' that tomorrow every(Em)thing will be al(E7)right?
But to(Am)morrows fall in number, in (F)number one by one,
You (G)wake up and you're dying, you don't (Em)even know what from. (E7)

Well, they shot you (Am)point blank, you been (F)shot in the back,
Baby, (G)point blank, you been (Em)fooled this time, (E7)little girl, that's a (Am)fact.
(F)Right between the eyes baby, (G)point blank
(Em)Right between the (E7)pretty lies that they (Am)tell.  (F)
Little girl, you (G)fell. (Em)  (E7)

You grew (Am)up where young girls, they grow up fast,
You took what (F)you were handed and left behind what was asked.
(G) But what they asked, baby, wasn't right, (Em) you didn't have to /E7)live that life.
And I was gonna (Am)be your Romeo, you were gonna be my Juliet,
These days you don't (F)wait on Romeos, you wait on that welfare check,
(G) And on all the pretty little things that you can't ever have,
And on (Em)all the promises (E7)

That always end up (Am)point blank, (F)shot between the eyes,
Oh oh oh, (G)point blank like (Em)little white lies you (E7)tell to ease the (Am)pain.
You're (F)walkin' in the sights, girl, (G)point blank,
And it's (Em)one false move, and (E7)baby, the lights go (Am)out.  (F)    (G)    (Em)  (E7)

(Am)Once I dreamed we were together again, (F)baby, you and me,
Back (G)home in those old clubs, the (Em)way we used to (E7)be.
We were (Am)standin' at the bar, and it was hard to hear,
The band was (F)playin' loud, and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear
You pulled my (G)jacket off, and as the drummer counted four,
You grabbed my (Em)hand and pulled me out (E7)on the floor.

You just stood (Am)there and held me, and you started dancin' slow,
And as I (F)pulled you tighter, I swore I'd never let you go.
Well, I (G)saw you last night down on the avenue,
Your (Em)face was in the shadows, but I (E7)knew that it was you,
You were (Am)standin' in the doorway, out of the rain,
You didn't (F)answer when I called out your name,
You just (G)turned, and then you looked away,
Like (Em)just another stranger, (E7)waitin' to get blown away

(Am)Point blank, (F)right between the eyes,
Oh oh oh, (G)point blank, (Em)right between the (E7)pretty lies you fell,
(Am)Point blank, you been (F)shot straight through the heart,
Yeah, (G)point blank, you've been (Em)twisted up to become (E7)just another part of it,
(Am)Point blank, you're (F)walking in the sights,
(G)Point blank, living (Em)one false move, just (E7)one false move A(Am)way.
[Point blank,] they (F)caught you in their sights
(G)Point blank, did you for(Em)get how to love, (E7)girl did you forget how to (Am)fight?
[Point blank,] they must have (F)shot you in the head,
'Cause (G)point blank, (Em) (E7)bang, bang, baby, you're (A2)dead.
