1.        There was a girl I used 
     Em
to know
     Am              Em
She was oh so beautiful
      Am          Em
But she's not here anymore
Em               Am        Em
       She had a college degree
  Am                    Em
Smart as anyone could be
        Am            Em
She had so much to live for
                            Am
Bridge 1: But she fell in love
                 Em
With the wrong kinda of man
 Am                                
He abused her love and treated her 
Em
so bad

  Am                             
There was not enough education in 
    Em
her world
   A                            
That could save the life of this 
        B7
little girl
Chorus:
   E           B
How come, how long
      Bm                C#
It's not right, it's so wrong
       F#m
Do we let it just go on
                        B
Turn our backs and carry on
     E                B
Wake up, for it's too late
    Bm                C#
Right now, we can't wait
                  F#m
She won't have a second try
               B7
Open up your hearts
                Em
As well as your eyes
Interlude:   Em   Em   Em   Em
2. She tried to give a cry for help
She even blAmed things on herself
But no one cAme to her aid
Nothing was wrong as far as we could
 tell
That's why we'd like to tell 
ourselves
But not! It wasn't that way
Bridge 2: So she fell in love
With the wrong kinda of man
And she paid with her life
For loving that man
So we can not ignore
We must look for the signs
And maybe next time we might save 
somebody's life
>>Chorus>Bridge 1>Chorus
