[Intro]
Em  D  Am  G  x4

[Verse 1]
Em             D
      Mr. Dali Lamas
Am                          G
  Another sister's shootin' heroin tomorrow
Em            D
  Amputees in Freetown
         Am
Sierra Leone's
    G
The church wasn't honest
Em                  D
  The state put the youth in a harness
Am         G
  Creatin' hostility among us
Em             D
  Teacher said no college
Am                      G                         Em
  Still the kid's gotta get a check with a couple commas
             D
People wanna bomb us
Am                  G                    Em
  More people gotta scatter and run from us
            D                    Am        G  D/F#
Blame it on Zeus and Apollo and Adonis

[Chorus]
                Em
But 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

[Instrumental]
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
