[Em] It [Am] was not enough education [Em] in her world [A] That could save life or best the [B] two of us
[E] How come, [B] how long, it's [Bm] not right, it's [C#] so wrong
[F#m] Do we let it just go on, [B] turn our backs and carry on
[E] Wake up, it's [B] too late, [Bm] right now we [C#] can't wait
[F#m] She won't have us, gonna try, [B] open up your heart as well as [Em] your eyes [F#] Come [Em] [E] on
[Em]
She [B] tried to give a cry [Em] for help, she even blamed things on herself
But no one came to her aid
Nothing [F#] was wrong, far as we [Em] could tell, that's what we like to tell ourselves
But no, it wasn't that way
So [Am] she fell in love with the [Em] wrong kind of man
And [Am] she paid with her life for loving [Em] that man
So we [Am] cannot ignore, we must look [Em] for the signs
And [A] maybe next time, we might [B] sniff somebody's lies

Some of us wasn't right
Oh, the [F#] way he proved himself [Em] a man
I've [F#] seen this woman with his [Em] hand, I wish that she had seen the light
How [Am] can someone like that, call [Em] themselves a man
[Bm] Cause [Am] in reality, it's far more [Em] realistic

[A] God knows, the [B] time
