[repeat intro and sing]:
      Bb9
Good girls walk fast in groups of three
      Fadd11
Fast girls walk slow on side streets
     F
Sometimes the girls who walk alone
        C
Aren't found for days or weeks

Bb9
On the busy boulevards
     Fadd11
Bad boys call you names and cruise you hard
 F
Bullies laugh and grin and beat
      C
Your soft skin against the cold concrete


Bb9          Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles        away
F                 C  
I'm 3,000 miles away
Bb9          Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles        away
F                 C  
I'm 3,000 miles away

  Bb9
Knock you down, make you bleed 
 Fadd11
Make you cry and make you think
      F
I'll die here soon if I don't leave
   C
If I don't leave, if I don't leave

     Bb9
This patch of sky and native ground
      Fadd11
Take turns to push and pull you down
         F
Forget trying to live and be happy
C
I'll take safe and terror free


Chorus...


 Bb9
Hit the floor, shut off the lights,
Fadd11
   As the bullets fly
 F
Terror rules the dark night, 
 C
Dogs hang from the trees
       Bb9
This training ground for punks and thieves,
 Fadd11
Home of poor white retirees
     F
Who didn't bail and couldn't sell 
      C
When color made the grass less green


Chorus...

    Bb9
Apples are filled with razor blades
     Fadd11
But fools and innocents believe
      F
That love and faith and truth and beauty
     C
Can make a garden of this human factory


Chorus...


     Bb9
Bad girls run fast leave home alone
     Fadd11
No trace or clue of where they've gone
     F
Sometimes these girls are never found
 C
Never found, never found


Chorus... x 4
