==========================================

from the Album "The Day"

Intro: | em B7 | em B7 | em B7 | em | (2 times)

em am em

1. There was a girl I used 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 em

He abused her love and treated her so bad

am em

There was not enough education in her world

A B7

That could save the life of this 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
