[Verse 1]
D
Somewhere in outer space
G
Somebody shares my face
D A
Somewhere a million miles away
D
One day we'll meet again
G D
Although I don't know when
A D
I still think about her every day
[Chorus]
G D
10 and 9, 8 and 7, 6 and 5 and 4
A
Years old and learning of eternal flames
D
3 and 2, you would too
G D
if you were raised for war and told
A D
The countdown's getting lower every day.
[Verse 2]
D
Maybe at 22
G
She still sits in a pew
D A
Wishing that she may have escaped
D
To undo the damage caused
G D
By who she thought was God
A D
Questioning if she was really saved
[Chorus]
G D
10 and 9, 8 and 7, 6 and 5 and 4
A
Years old and told to never run away
D
3 and 2, what would you do
G D
if you didn't know more
A D
Than love wrapped in a bow of guilt and shame
[Chorus]
G D
10 and 9, 8 and 7, 6 and 5 and 4
A
Years old and learning of eternal flames
D
3 and 2, you would too
G D
if you were raised for war and told
D* A* D*
The countdown's getting lower every day.
