[Verse 1]
[A][G][Dm]
[A]This girl knows she
needs some shelter
She don't believe anyone can help her
She's [Am]doing so much harm,
you're doing so much damage
[A]But you don't want to get involved,
you tell her she can manage
And you can't [Am]change the way she feels,
but you could put your
[G]arms around [F]her
[Dm]I kn[A]ow you want to leave yourself,
but could you forgive yourself
If [G]you [C]left [G]her just the [F]way you found her
[A]I stand in front of you
I'll take the force of the blow
I stand in [Am]front of you
I'll take the force of [A]the blow
You're [Am]a boy and I'm a girl,
but you know you can lean [G]on [F]me
[A]I don't have no fear,
I'll take on a name and [G]hair
Who says that's not
the way [F]it should be?
[A]I'll in front of you,
I'll take the force of the blood, protection
I'll [Am]stand in front of you,
I'll take the force of [A]the blood,
protection
She's [Am]a girl and you're a boy
Sometimes you look [G]so small
You [F]look so small
You've [A]got a baby of your own
When your baby's [G]gone
She'll be the one to [F]catch you if you fall
[A]I stand in front of you,
I'll take the force of the blow
I [Am]stand in front of you,
I'll take the force of [A]the blow
[Am]You're a girl and I'm a boy
[G]You're a girl and I'm a [F]boy
[A]You're a girl and I'm a boy
You're [G]a girl and I[F]'m a boy
[A]Sometimes you look so small
and need some shelter
Just run and run and run,
he'll just get there
And [Am]I could lean on him for years,
now you can lean on [A]me
And that's more than love,
that's the way it should be
Now [Am]I can't change the way I feel,
but I can put my arms around [G]you
[F]Touch me,
[A]that's just part of the deal
That's the way I feel,
[G]I p[C]ut my a[F]rms around you
I [A]stand in front of you,
I'll take the force [Am]of the blow[A]
[Am]You're a boy and I'm a girl
You're [G]a boy and I'm a g[F]irl
[A]You're a boy and I'm a girl
[Am]You're a boy and [F]I'm a girl
