Do you still say your prayers little darling
G
Do you go to bed at night
A F#m F#7
Praying that tomorrow, everything will be allright
Bm G
But tomorrow's fall in number in number one by one
A F#m F#7
You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from
Bm G
Well they shot you point blank you been shot in the back
A F#m F#7 Bm
Baby point blank you been fooled this time, little girl that's a fact
G A
Right between the eyes baby, point blank
F#m F#7 Bm | G
Right between the pretty lies that they tell
A | A | F#m | F#7
Little girl you fell
Bm
You grew up where young girls they grow up fast
G
You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked
A
But what they asked baby wasn't right
F#m F#7
You didn't have to live that live
Bm
I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet
G
These days you don't wait for Romeo's, you wait on that welfare check
A F#m
And on all the pretty things that you can't ever have and on all the promises
F#7 Bm G
That always end up point blank, shot between the eyes
A F#m F#7 Bm
Point blank like little white lies you tell to ease the pain
G A
You're walking in the sights, girl of point blank
F#m F#7 Bm | Bm | G | G | A | A | F#m | F#7
And it's one false move and baby the lights go out
Bm
Once I dreamed we were together again
G
Baby you and me
A F#m F#7
Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be
Bm
We were standing at the bar it was hard to hear
G
The band was playing loud and you were shouting something in my ear
A
You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four
F#m F#7
You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor
Bm
You just stood there and held me, then you started dancing slow
G
And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go
A
Well I saw you last night down on the avenue
F#m F#7
Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you
Bm
You were standing in the doorway out of the rain
G
You didn't answer when I called out your name
A
You just turned and then you looked away
F#m F#7
Like just another stranger waiting to get blown away
Bm G
Point blank, right between the eyes
A F#m F#7
Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell
Bm G
Point blank, shot straight through the heart
A F#m F#7
Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it
Bm G
Point blank, you're walking in the sights
A F#m F#7
Point blank, living one false move, just one false move away
Bm G
Point blank, they caught you in their sights
A F#m F#7
Point blank, did you forget how to love, girl did you forget how to fight
Bm G
Point blank, they must have shot you in the head
A F#m F#7 Bm
Cause point blank, bang bang baby you're dead
Bm G A F#m F#7
