The city's on fire

                  F
The streets are a riot

                        G
Now look at this place, no one is safe

No one is safe from you
[Verse 1]
Am                                           G
So beautiful, she knew it every single day - Got a smile that left him right around the way

F                                                    G
Yeah, makes you feel good, wondering why she stays - So afraid, afraid of you

Am                                      G
She needs a sedative to get a strain - You know she needs a cigarette, she got the shakes

F                                          G
Put them sunglasses on to hide her face - Such a waste, a waste on you

Am                             G
    Tell me, why you ashamed - Too scared to run away

F                      G                         Am
You love him anyway - Surviving just on the pain

[Verse 2]
Am                            G
Maybe the way out is a .38 - God gave her a sign, not a moment late

F                                                   G
Tonight she's gonna point it at his fucking face - Bang bang, he's blown away

Tell me, why you ashamed? Too scared to run away

F                      G
You love him anyway - Surviving just on the pain

Am                               G
Tell me where she went wrong - She is sadness in every song

F                                       G                             Am
She knows someday that she'll be gone - Until then, please stay strong

[Verse 3]
Am
Still in shock from the Blast, sure the neighbors heard it

G
Now or never, crossed a man that wasn't worth it

F
No regrets from what the judge called a bad decision

G
Now she's doing 20 years in a woman's prison

Am
Yeah, she'll never have her life - will she feel it all?

G
She'll never know what it's like not to feel alone

F                                      G
No kids will love her unconditional - no cure for a sickness that's medicinal
Spoken
Am
She's flying high in her cell she can finally breathe

G
She's flying high outta hell, now she finally free

F                                               G
Man, he fed her to the lions, that monster he promised her diamonds for silence

It's the history of violence!
