[Verse]
F           Bb
young love, hearts so blind 
Dm
same song played about a million times
F                   Bb
it all started as a friend in need
Dm                    C
how did we end up as enemies
F
it’s a fatal love
Bb
a heart attack
Dm
no matter what we do it won’t come back
F                         Bb
it’s only 1 second til we run out of time
Dm               C
1 life and we’re living a lie
F                         Bb
picking up the pieces and hoping
Dm                                             C
but how do you fix something that started off broken
[Chorus]
            Dm   Bb
you shot me down
       F                    C
like a bullseye through my heart
                   Dm     Bb
and when i hit the ground
    F               C
you watched me fall apart
                 Dm    Bb
yeah you shot me down
              F                  C
you’re like a bullet right to my brain
                   Dm     Bb
and when i hit the ground
        F               C
and you watched me fade away
                    Dm     Bb    F     C
and i was never the same
[Verse 2]
F            Bb
true love is hard to find
Dm
it can twist and turn into a different kind
F                       Bb
first i hate you then i love you more
Dm                          C
we’re locked in battle in a lover’s war
F
and it’s sad joke
Bb
a cryin shame
Dm
sometimes a little smoke can extinguish a flame
F                         Bb
it’s only 1 second til we run out of time
Dm                C
1 life and we’re living a lie
F                         Bb
picking up the pieces and hoping
Dm
but how do you fix something that started off broken
[Chorus]
            Dm   Bb
you shot me down
       F                    C
like a bullseye through my heart
                   Dm     Bb
and when i hit the ground
    F               C
you watched me fall apart
                 Dm    Bb
yeah you shot me down
              F                  C
you’re like a bullet right to my brain
                   Dm     Bb
and when i hit the ground
         F               C
and you watched me fade away
[Bridge]
Dm       Bb                    C
when you love someone then you lose someone
Am                Dm
you are never the same
Dm       Bb                    C
when you love someone then you lose someone
Am                     Dm
you still remember the flame
          Bb
when your caught in a fire 
       C                        Am           Dm
and it burns you up til there’s nothing left 
        Bb              C
can you love someone to death?
F                         Bb
picking up the pieces and hoping
Dm                                            C
but how do you fix something that started off broken
[Chorus]

you shot me down
