1. Do you still say your prayers little darlin'   do you go to bed at night
2.      But tommorrow's fall in number                in number one by one 
     A                          F#m            F#7
1. Prayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alright  
2. You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from

                   Bm                      G
Well they shot you point blank  you been shot in the back
      A                   F#m                F#7                  Bm
Baby point blank you been fooled this time   little girl that's a fact
 G                             A
Right between the eyes, baby, point blank  
F#m                F#7                  Intro (Bm  A/B Bm...)
right between the pretty lies that they tell   Little girl you fell

           Bm                                                      G
3. You grew up where young girls they grow up fast  You took what you were handed
4. I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet  These days you don't wait 
                                    A
3. and left behind what was asked  but what they asked baby wasn't right
4. on Romeo's  you wait on that welfare check and on all the pretty little things 
                                F#m                          F#7
3.                              you didn't have to live that life,
4. that you can't ever have     all the promises  That always end up 

Bm             G                        A               F#m
point blank, shot between the eyes oh  Point blank like little white lies 
    F#7               Bm           G                            A
you tell to ease the pain  You're walkin' in the sights,  girl point blank
        F#m                 F#7                Intro (Bm  A/B Bm...)
and it's one false move and baby the lights go out

Bm                                      G                     A
Once I dreamed we were together again  baby you and me  Back home in those old
          F#m            F#7            Bm
clubs the way we used to be    We were standin' at the bar  it was hard to hear
               G     
The band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear
               A                                                          F#m
You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four  You grabbed my hand
                  F#7                                Bm
and pulled me out on the floor  You just stood there and held me, then you 
                                G
started dancin' slow  And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go
        A                                          F#m
Well I saw you last night down on the avenue  Your face was in the shadows 
       F#7                            Bm
but I knew that it was you  You were standin' in the doorway out of the rain
           G                                             A
You didn't answer when I called out your name  You just turned, 
                               F#m                   F#7
and then you looked away  like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away
 Bm              G                                   A
Point blank,    right between the eyes              Point blank, 
Point blank,   shot right through the heart     Yea point blank, 
Point blank, you're walkin' in the sights           Point blank, 
Point blank, they caught you in their sights        Point blank, 
Point blank  they must have shot you in the head Cause point blank
            F#m                F#7
            right between the pretty lies you fell 
you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it
     livin' one false move just one false move away
did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight.
            bang bang baby you're dead.
