Em D Am G x2
[Verse 2]
Em D
I've been knowing her for years
Am G
I've been seeing her for years
Em D
She got dark, dark wavy hair
Am G
With a voice like she just don't care
Em D
She got a skirt with a halter top
Am G
She got a dad who never gave a ****
Em D
She drinks a beer with her mom 'til dawn
Am G
She got knocked up in a pickup truck
Em D
But she got engaged when she was nineteen
Am G
To this dude who was acting insane
Em D
Had a .45 that he always cleaned
Am G
Said one day one day one too many days
Em D
Now she ducked and she ran away
Am G
Never to be heard from, never to be seen
Em D
I check the cover of a magazine
Am G D/F#
I'm just wondering how, just wondering
[Chorus]
Em
What you've done is
D Am G
Put yourself between a bullet and a target
Em
And it won't be long before
D Am G
You're pulling yourself away
Em
What you've done here
D Am G
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
Em
And it won't be long before
D Am G
You're pulling yourself away
Em
What you've done here
D Am G
Is put yourself between a bullet and a target
Em
And it won't be long before
D Am G
You're pulling yourself away
Em
What you've done is
D Am G
Put yourself between a bullet and a target
Em
And it won't be long before
D Am G
You're pulling yourself away
