 She can keep her fantasy

If she can get away


Chorus 1:
G
 Paint her name on a one-way street
C                    F
 Painted cheeks with angry heat

 Wounded pride on painted eyes

 Paint the night with battle cries

Boy before the mirror

Checks his camouflage

Polishes his armor
          G
And the charger in the garage

No more lame excuses
   Cadd9
It has to be tonight
G
 He can take the princess
    G
If he can take the fight

 Pound the drums with martial beat

 Paint the night with battle cries

 All puffed up with vanity

 We see what we want to see
