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

          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's got a dad who never gave a f***
             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 - Play 2x's

                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
