On the corner of Division Street the weather's gettin' cold
    C                 Em                 C              G

  C              Em               C           G
Especially for a young girl who's barely seventeen
    C             Em         C                G
Bad choices and a bad man confused inside her head
      C                 Em           C                G
She's about to pull the trigger, but then she prays instead

Help me to hold on, don't let me let go"

Ooohhh....It's so easy to judge, but if you look down deep inside
C                        G             D
You too might remember a time when you cried
