There [A] was a [Em] girl I used to know, [Am] she was oh so [Em] beautiful, she's not here anymore.
She had a college degree, smart as anyone could be, had so much to live for.
[Am] She fell in love with the [Em] wrong kind of man.
[D] [Am] He abused her [Em] love and treated her so bad.
[D] [Am] There was not enough education [Em] in her world [A] that could save life from this, the [B] two girls.
[E] How come, [B] how long, it's [Bm] not right, it's [C#] so wrong.
[F#m] We let it just go on, turn our [E] backs and carry on.
Wake up, it's [B] too late, [Bm] right now we [C#] can't wait.
[F#m] She won't have us, gonna [E] try, hoping [A] I'm [B] yours as well as [Em] your right.
[Bm] [Em] [F#] [Em] How come, how long, it's not right, it's so wrong.
She tried to give a crap for help, she even blamed things on herself, but no one came to her aid.
Nothing was wrong, far as we could tell, that's what we like to tell ourselves, but [B] no it wasn't [Em] that way.
So [Am] she fell in love with the [Em] wrong kind of man.
[Am] She paid with her life for loving [Em] that man.
So we [Am] cannot ignore, we must look [Em] for the signs.
And [A] maybe next time we might [B] slip somebody's line.
