[Eb]
Peter said to Paul, you know all those words we wrote
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go
But [Cm] now talking to God is [Ab] Laurel begging Hardy for a [Eb] gun
I got [Cm] a girl in the war, man, I wonder what it is we [Eb] done
Paul said to Peter, you gotta rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
I got [Cm] a girl in the war, [Ab] Paul, the only thing I know to [Eb] do
Is
[Cm] turn up the music [Ab] and pray that she makes it [Eb] through
Because the keys to the kingdom got locked inside the kingdom
And the angels fly around in there, but we can't see them
I got [Cm] a girl in the war, [Ab] Paul, I know that they can hear [Eb] me yell
[Cm] If they can't find a way to [Ab] help her, they can go to [Eb] hell
[Cm] If they can't find a way to [Ab] help her, they can go to [Eb] hell

Paul said to Peter, you gotta rock yourself a little harder
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon and your feet are on fire
But I got [Cm] a girl in the war, [Ab] Paul, her eyes are like [Eb] champagne
If [Cm] you sparkle bubble over in [Ab] the morning, all you got is [Eb] rain
If [Cm] you sparkle bubble over in [Ab] the morning, all you got is [Eb] rain
If [Cm] you sparkle bubble over in [Ab] the morning, all you got is [Eb] rain
