[Verse 1]
D
Someone help me

D
I heard her scream

D
The old man clutched her chest

                                    A
Said ambulance on the way stay with me

    G                                               D
And Johnny called said there's been a murder on the green

D
Someone help her

D
It can't be me

D
Standing over her with a gun in my hand

               A
I made my baby bleed

     G                            D
It's not my fault, she shot first me
[Chorus]
           Em
And in the blink, blink, blink

      D
Of an eye, hiii!

G                   A
Another young lover dies

D [Verse 2]
D
So they took me

D
To a cell

D
Threw away the key

D                                A
And damned me right back down to hell

        G                             D
I said "Well I haven't been home in a while

D
Now I got angels

D
Knocking at my door

D
Whispering sweet nothings

D                            A
And I scream I can't take anymore

         G                            D
You're a coward, why don't you end it all?
[Chorus]
           Em
And in the blink, blink, blink

      D
Of an eye, hiii!

G                   A
Another young lover dies

Em                    D
Well I'm not the only one

G                               A
Who's guilty of committing this crime

Em          D
I sing this song

G                    A
Of a girl who met my gun

Em              D
A bullet in the heart

G                            A
Is just another problem I'm working on
[Solo]

[Verse 3]
D
And with my last breath

D
I said "Preacher, please"

D                                                   A
To ask the undertaker if he'll partake in some bribery

    G                                       D
And steal my body and go and bury it on the green

D
Next to my gun

D
Young Annie

D                                                         A
Will discuss all the arguments with friends we love as enemies

   G                          D
Oh maybe we were both trigger happy
[Chorus]
           Em
And in the blink, blink, blink

      D
Of an eye, hiii!

G                   A
Another young lover dies

Em                    D
Well I'm not the only one

G                               A
Who's guilty of committing this crime

Em           D
I sing this song

G                    A
Of a girl who met my gun

Em              D
A bullet in the heart

G                           A
Is just another problem I'm working on!
End on open D string!
