Intro: B B Bm A G
B
This girl I know needs some shelter
Bm
She don’t believe anyone can help her
She’s doing so much harm, doing so much damage
B
But you don’t want to get involved
You tell her she can manage
Bm
And you can’t change the way she feels
A G
But you could put your arms around her
B
I know you want to live yourself
But could you forgive yourself
A G
If you left her just the way
You found her
B
I stand in front of you
I’ll take the force of the blow

She’s a girl and you’re a boy
A G
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
B
You’ve got a baby of your own
A
When your baby’s grown, she’ll be the one

To catch you when you fall

I stand in front of you
I’ll take the force of the blow

B
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Bm
Just runnin’ round and round, helter skelter
And I’ve leaned on you for years
B
Now you can lean on me
And that’s more than love, that’s the way
Bm
It should be
Now I can’t change the way you think
A G
But I can put my arms around you
B
That’s just part of the deal
A
That’s the way I feel
G
I put my arms around you
B
I stand in front of you
I’ll take the force of the blow
