Intro: | Em B7 | Em B7 | Em B7 | Em | (2 times) Em Am Em
[Em]There wa[Am]s a girl i used [Em]to know
[Am]She was [Em]oh so beautiful
[Am]But she'[Em]s not here anymore
[Em]She had [Am]a college degree[Em]
[Am]Smart as[Em] anyone could be
[Am]She had [Em]so much to live for
Bridge 1: But sh[Am]e fell in love
With the[Em] wrong kind of man
[Am]He abused her love and treated h[Em]er so bad
[Am]There was not enough education i[Em]n her world
[A] That could save the life of thi[B7]s little girl
Chorus:
[E]How come[B], how long
[Bm]It's not right, [C#]it's so wrong
[F#m]Do we let it just go on
Turn our backs a[B]nd carry on
[E]Wake up, for it'[B]s too late
[Bm]Right now, we ca[C#]n't wait
She won'[F#m]t have a second try
Open up [B7]your hearts
As well [Em]as your eyes
Interlude: | Em | Em | Em | Em |
2. She tried to give a cry for help
She even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could tell
That's why we'd like to tell ourselves
But not! It wasn't that way
Bridge 2: So she fell in Love
With the wrong kinda man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we can not ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save somebody's life ...
>>Chorus
