A#sus2
Good girls walk fast in groups of three
Fadd11
Fast girls walk slow on side streets
F
Sometimes the girls who walk alone
C
Aren't found for days or weeks
A#sus2
On the busy boulevards
Fadd11
Bad boys call you names and cruise you hard
F
Bullies laugh and grin and beat
C
Your soft skin against the cold concrete
A#sus2 Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles away
F C
I'm 3,000 miles away
A#sus2 Fadd11
I'm 3,000 miles away
F C
I'm 3,000 miles away
A#sus2
Knock you down, make you bleed
Fadd11
Make you cry and make you think
F
I'll die here soon if I don't leave
C
If I don't leave, if I don't leave
A#sus2
This patch of sky and native ground
Fadd11
Take turns to push and pull you down
F
Forget trying to live and be happy
C
I'll take safe and terror free
Chorus...
A#sus2
Hit the floor, shut off the lights,
Fadd11
As the bullets fly
F
Terror rules the dark night,
C
Dogs hang from the trees
A#sus2
This training ground for punks and thieves,
Fadd11
Home of poor white retirees
F
Who didn't bail and couldn't sell
C
When color made the grass less green
Chorus...

Apples are filled with razor blades
Fadd11
But fools and innocents believe
F
That love and faith and truth and beauty

Can make a garden of this human factory
Chorus...

Bad girls run fast leave home alone
Fadd11
No trace or clue of where they've gone

Sometimes these girls are never found

Never found, never found
