Lyrics

In be tween the coats in the clos et she held on to that heart shaped lock et, star in’ at a fam ’ly flaw less, but it ain’t a pret ty pic ture to night.

Mom and Dad dy just won’t stop it, fight in’ at the drop of a fau cet.

Cuts through the walls cat a stroph ic, she’s caught in the cross fire.

Puts her hands o ver her (C)ears,

starts talk in’ through the (G)tears.

She’s say in’, she’s pray in’:

I (Em)wish words were like lit tle toy guns,

no sting, no hurt no one, just a (G)bang, bang roll in’ off your tongue.

(D)(Wish words were like lit tle toy guns.)

No smoke,

no bul lets,

no kick from the trig ger when you pull it.

No pain,

(G)no dam age done.

(D)(Wish words were like lit tle toy guns.) And just a (C)bang, bang (G)roll in’ off your tongue.

(D)(Wish words were like lit tle toy guns.)

Wish there was a white flag wav in’ or that they were both just fak in’ and it was just a game they were play in’ like shoot ’em up cow boys.

Leave the (Em)plas tic pis tols in the front yard,

throw a way the score card

and just (D)turn off all the noise.

I (Em)wish words were like lit tle toy guns,

no sting, no hurt no one, just a (G)bang, bang roll in’ off your tongue.

(D)(Wish words were like lit tle toy guns.)

No smoke,

no bul lets,

no kick from the trig ger when you pull it.

No pain,

(G)no dam age done.

(D)(Wish words were like lit tle toy guns.) And just a (C)bang, bang (G)roll in’ off your tongue.

(D)(Wish words were like lit tle toy guns.)

Oh, I wish they did n’t (Em)cut like a knife.

I wish they did n’t (C)break you in side.

I wish they did n’t, (G)bang, bang, make you wan na run.

Yeah,

Oh, like lit tle toy (Em)guns.
