Someone help me

I heard her scream

The old man clutched her chest

Said ambulance on the way stay with me

G D

And Johnny called said there's been a murder on the green

Someone help her

It can't be me

Standing over her with a gun in my hand

I made my baby bleed

G D

It's not my fault, she shot first me

[Chorus]

And in the blink, blink, blink

Of an eye, hiii!

G A

Another young lover dies

To a cell

Threw away the key

Now I got angels

Knocking at my door

Whispering sweet nothings

You're a coward, why don't you end it all?

[Chorus]

And in the blink, blink, blink

Of an eye, hiii!

Another young lover dies

Well I'm not the only one

G A

Who's guilty of committing this crime
