Bm G
Do you still say your prayers little darlin' do you go to bed at night
A G
Prayin' that tomorrow everything will be alright
Bm G
Well tomorrow's fall in number in number one by one
A G
You wake up and you're dying you don't even know what from
D A Bm
They shot you point blank you been shot in the back
A G
Baby point blank you been fooled this time that's a fact
D A Bm A Bm
Yea point blank right between the eyes baby point blank
Bm G
You grew up where young girls they grow up fast You left behind what you asked
A G
What they asked baby wasn't right you didn't have to live that life
Bm G
Well you're gonna be my Juliet, these days wait on that welfare check
A G
and on all the pretty things you'll never have and on all the promises that always...
[Chorus]
D A Bm
... end up point blank yea shot between the eyes

One false move and baby the lights go out

[Verse 2]
Bm G
Once I dreamed we were together again baby you and me
A G
Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be
Bm
We were standin' at the bar it was hard to hear
G
The band was playin', you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear
A
You pulled my jacket off as the drummer counted four
G
You took my hand and pulled me out on the floor
Bm
You just stood there and we started dancin' slow
G
And I swore I'd never let you go
A
Well I saw you last night out on the avenue
G
Your face was in the shadows but it was you
Bm
You were standin' 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
G
like just another stranger waitin'...
[Chorus]
D A Bm
...to get blown away point blank, oh right between the eyes
A G D
Baby, point blank, yeah right between the pretty lies they tell
A Bm
Ah, you been shot straight through the heart
A G D
Yeah, point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it, baby
A Bm A
You're walkin' in their sights, ah no point blank
G D
One false move and baby the lights go out
[Outro]
D A Bm A G
D A Bm A G
