[Em]
[F#] [Em]
[Bm] [Em] I don't want to be [B] alone, [Em] I don't want to be alone
There was [B] a girl I used [Em] to know, she [E] was oh so [Em] beautiful
She's not here anymore
She [B] had a college [Em] degree, smart as anyone could be
Had so much to live for
She [Am] fell in love with the wrong [Em] kind of man
He [Am] abused her love [A] and treated her [Em] so bad
There [Am] was not enough education [Em] in her world
That [A] could save the life of just the two [B] of them
[E] How come, how [B] long, it's not [Bm] right, it's so [C#] wrong
Do [F#m] we let it just go on, turn [B] our backs and carry on
[E] Wake up, it's too [B] late, right [Bm] now we [C#] can't wait
She [F#m] won't have us, can't [F#] try, won't pin down yours [B] as well as [Em] your right
[F#] [Em] [F#] [Em]
She tried [B] to give a crap [Em] for help, she even laid things on herself
But [B] no one came to [Em] her aid
Nothing [F#] was wrong for us we could [Em] tell, that's what we like to tell ourselves
But [B] no it wasn't that [Em] way
So [Am] she fell in love with the [Em] wrong kind of man
Cause [Am] he paid with her life for loving that [Em] man
So we [Am] cannot ignore, [A] we must look [Em] for the signs
And [A] maybe next time, we might [B] save somebody's life
[E] How come, how [B] long, it's not [D] right, it's so [C#] wrong
Do [F#m] we let it just go on, [B] turn our backs and carry on
[E] Wake up, it's too [B] late, [Bm] right now we [C#] can't wait
She [F#m] won't have us, can't try, won't pin down your [B] hearts as well as your [Em]
eyes
[F#] [Em]
[E] I [Em]
don't care about the money, I don't care about the money
On
[F#] occasion, maybe [Em] I got a skin [F#] to feel it deep [Em] inside
Somebody wasn't right
Who proved [F#] himself [Em] a man, might [F#] mean this woman with his [Em] hand
Always said she had seen the light
How [Am] can someone call [Em] themselves a man
When [Am] in reality he's far more [Em] than this
And we [Am] cannot ignore whatever we [Em] see in the signs
Cause [A] any kind of abuse, God knows, [B] is a crime
[E] How come, how [B] 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 [C#] we can't wait
[F#m] She won't have us, can't try, [B] won't pin down your hearts as well as [Em] your eyes
I don't care about the money
[Bm]
[N]
