1. There was a girl I used to know
Am Em
She was oh so beautiful
Am Em
But she's not here anymore
Em Am Em
She had a college degree
Am Em
Smart as anyone could be
Am Em
She had so much to live for
Am
Bridge 1: But she fell in love
Em
With the wrong kinda of man
Am Em
He abused her love and treated her so bad
Am Em
There was not enough education in her world
A B7
That could save the life of this little girl
Chorus:
E B
How come, how long
Bm C#
It's not right, it's so wrong
F#m
Do we let it just go on
B
Turn our backs and carry on
E B
Wake up, for it's too late
Bm C#
Right now, we can't wait
F#m
She won't have a second try
B7
Open up your hearts
Em
As well 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 of 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<<
