Bm A E E x4
 
Verse 1:
          Bm                         A
She was a bright girl knew her since secondary school
E
Wanted to be an actress she had dreams to have it all
           Bm            A
At a local pub one night playing games of pool
    E
She met this bloke called Tommy and she thought Tommy was cool
    Bm                       A
But Tommy was a tough guy he carried round a tool
          E
And would push out bags of powder then go out and have a ball
    Bm                        A
She liked his eyes and how he didn’t follow rules
    E
And suddenly into the depths of darkness she would fall

Chorus:
       Bm     A
I said hey
E                                            Bm     A
Don’t get with that boy he’ll take your soul away
    E                                         Bm
And now she’s looking out for someone else to blame
         A
But it’s all the time
   E
If only things came with a sign
    Bm                A                    E
Cos now it’s gone too far and it’s all too late
 
Post-Chorus:
                Bm    A E E
It’s always the way
                Bm    A E
It’s always the way
E
Yeah
 
Verse 2:
             Bm                        A
So now she’s bunking off of college no longer sees her mates
      E
She’s too busy rehearsing all her lines round Tommy’s place
          Bm                        A
And Tommy all he wants to do is get completely off his face
    E
Her goals and aspirations slowly going down the drain
   Bm                                A
He gets her on the soft stuff but of course she upgrades
              E
And now she’s getting twisted every night she’s forgotten her own name
    Bm                          A
And all I can think is how it’s all such a shame
    E
Cos now she’s sat infront of the tele sticking needles in her veins
 
Chorus:
       Bm     A
I said hey
E                                            Bm     A
Don’t get with that boy he’ll take your soul away
    E                                         Bm
And now she’s looking out for someone else to blame
         A
But it’s all the time
   E
If only things came with a sign
    Bm                A                    E
Cos now it’s gone too far and it’s all too late
 
Bm A E E x6
 
Verse:
Bm
Love
       A
It can kill you if you let it
E
Cos now she’s wishing that she never even met him
Bm              A
 He’s hit her 3 times and I bet it
E
Will turn to 4 by the time you see the paramedics
       Bm                  A
It’s a sad path that she’s had to go down
              E
Cos now she’s looking in the mirror and her stomachs looking round
         Bm                       A
She gets stressed and pulls out a pregnancy test
    E
And let’s just say the outcome could be anybody’s guess
 
Chorus:
       Bm     A
I said hey
E                                            Bm     A
Don’t get with that boy he’ll take your soul away
    E                                         Bm
And now she’s looking out for someone else to blame
         A
But it’s all the time
   E
If only things came with a sign
    Bm                A                    E
Cos now it’s gone too far and it’s all too late late late late
 
Outro:
                Bm A E E
It’s always the way
 
Repeat and fade out.
