Bsus4        Bmaj7
	This girl now needs some shelter, she don't believe anyone can help her

Bsus4
	She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage

Bmaj7
	But you don't wanna get involved, you tell her she can manage

Bsus4                                                                      A6sus2          Gmaj7
	And you can't change the way she feels, but you can put your arms around her...

Bsus4       Bmaj7                                                     A6sus2           Gmaj7
	And though you wanna live yourself, could you forgive yourself if you left her just the way you found her?

--CHORUS:
Bsus4           Bmaj7
	I stand in front of you and take the force of the blow, protection

Bsus4                                                          Bmaj7
	I stand in front of you and take the force of the blow,    protection

Bsus4                                                           A6sus2         Gmaj7
	You're a boy and I'm a girl but you know you can lean on   me...

Bsus4               Bmaj7                                   A6sus2                         Gmaj7
	And I don't have no fear, I'll take on any man here,       who says that's not the way it should be?



Bsus4                                                     A6sus2        Gmaj7
	She's a girl and you're a boy, sometimes you look so small, you look so small

Bsus4          Bmaj7                                       A6sus2                     Gmaj7
	You've got a baby of your own but when your baby's gone, she'll be the one to catch you when you fall



Bsus4                               A6sus2                            Gmaj7
	You're a girl and I'm a boy,        you're a girl and I'm a boy

Bmaj7                               A6sus2                            Gmaj7
	You're a girl and I'm a boy,        you're a girl and I'm a boy

Bsus4       Bmaj7
	Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter, just runnin' round and round, helter skelter

Bsus4                                 	                      Bmaj7
	And I've leaned on you for years, now you can lean on me, and that's more than love, that's the way it should be

Bsus4                                                              A6sus2        Gmaj7
	Now I can't change the way you feel but I can put my arms around you...

Bsus4               Bmaj7                              A6sus2                   Gmaj7
	That's just part of the deal, that's the way I feel, I'll put my arms around you



Bsus4                               A6sus2                            Gmaj7
	You're a boy and I'm a girl,        you're a boy and I'm a girl

Bmaj7                               A6sus2                            Gmaj7
	You're a boy and I'm a girl,        you're a boy and I'm a girl

Enjoy
