[repeat intro and sing]:
      Bb5
Good girls walk fast in groups of three
      Fadd11
Fast girls walk slow on side streets
     F5
Sometimes the girls who walk alone
        C5
Aren't found for days or weeks

Bb5
On the busy boulevards
     Fadd11
Bad boys call you names and cruise you hard
 F5
Bullies laugh and grin and beat
      C5
Your soft skin against the cold concrete


Bb5          Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles        away
F5                 C5  
I'm 3,000 miles away
Bb5          Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles        away
F5                 C5  
I'm 3,000 miles away

  Bb5
Knock you down, make you bleed 
 Fadd11
Make you cry and make you think
      F5
I'll die here soon if I don't leave
   C5
If I don't leave, if I don't leave

     Bb5
This patch of sky and native ground
      Fadd11
Take turns to push and pull you down
         F5
Forget trying to live and be happy
C5
I'll take safe and terror free


Chorus...


 Bb5
Hit the floor, shut off the lights,
Fadd11
   As the bullets fly
 F5
Terror rules the dark night, 
 C5
Dogs hang from the trees
       Bb5
This training ground for punks and thieves,
 Fadd11
Home of poor white retirees
     F5
Who didn't bail and couldn't sell 
      C5
When color made the grass less green


Chorus...

    Bb5
Apples are filled with razor blades
     Fadd11
But fools and innocents believe
      F5
That love and faith and truth and beauty
     C5
Can make a garden of this human factory


Chorus...


     Bb5
Bad girls run fast leave home alone
     Fadd11
No trace or clue of where they've gone
     F5
Sometimes these girls are never found
 C5
Never found, never found


Chorus... x 4
