Modern day Romeo & Juliet
F
American tragedy

Low rent high rise lovers who met

At the end of Coronado Street

Crucifix made in the California gold
F
Two worlds bound to collide
C F
Heaven cant help you if you go
G C
Faster than angels fly
Chorus:
F
Well they burned the candle at both ends
C
As they danced into the flames

Making love and making plans
C G
Driving Mother Mary insane
Am F
Strong as the beads of a rosary
Am F
Never too young to die
Am F
Some souls only know one speed
G C
Faster than angels fly
Ghost haunted barrio in Hollywood
Graffiti stained Wailing Wall
Dead end street gang up to no good
Out to make a retribution call
Sweet innocence caught in crossfires fate
Too late to draw the line
Bullets can blow your dreams away
Faster than angels fly
Repeat Chorus

F
They were still holding hands
C
When all hell broke loose
Broke loose
F
They both left this world with more
G
Than most true lovers do
Repeat Chorus
