________________________________
Do you still [c#m]say your prayers little darlin' do you [f#m]go to bed at night
Prayin' that tomorrow everything will be alright
Well to[c#m]morrow's fall in number in [f#m]number one by one
You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from
They shot you point blank you been shot in the [c#m]back
Baby point blank you been fooled this time that's a fact
Yea point blank right between the [c#m]eyes baby point blank[c#m]
You grew up where young girls they grow up fast
You [f#m]left behind what you asked
What they asked baby wasn't right
you didn't have to live that life
Well [c#m]you're gonna be my Juliet
These [f#m]days wait on that welfare check
and on all the pretty things you'll never have and on all the promises
That always end up point blank yea shot between the [c#m]eyes
Point blank like little white lies we tell to ease the pain
You're walkin' in the [c#m]sights baby point blank
one false move and baby the lights go [c#m]out
{C:BREAK}

[c#m]Once I dreamed we were together again [f#m]baby you and me
Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be
We were [c#m]standin' at the bar it was hard to hear
The band was [f#m]playin' you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear
You pulled my jacket off as the drummer counted four
You took my hand and pulled me out on the floor
You just [c#m]stood there and you started dancin' slow
And I [f#m]swore I'd never let you go
Well I saw you last night out on the avenue
Your face was in the shadows but it was you
You were [c#m]standin' in the doorway out of the rain
You didn't [f#m]answer when I called out your name
You just turned and then you looked away
like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away
Point blank oh right between the [c#m]eyes
Baby point blank yea right between the pretty lies they tell
Ah you been shot straight through the [c#m]heart
Yea point blank you've been twisted up till you've become
just another part of it baby
You're walkin' in their [c#m]sights
Ah point blank yea one false move and baby the lights go out
{c:FADE OUT}
