Guitar arrangement for normal tuning (EADBGe)

Intro:
| Bmaj7 | % | Bsus4 | % | A6sus2 | Gmaj7 |
This girl now needs some shelter, she don't believe anyone can help her
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
But you don't wanna get involved, you tell her she can manage
And you can't change the way she feels, but you can put your arms around her...
And though you wanna live yourself, could you forgive yourself if you left her just the way you found her?
--CHORUS:
I stand in front of you and take the force of the blow, protection
I stand in front of you and take the force of the blow, protection
You're a boy and I'm a girl but you know you can lean on me...
And I don't have no fear, I'll take on any man here, who says that's not the way it should be?
She's a girl and you're a boy, sometimes you look so small, you look so small
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
You're a girl and I'm a boy, you're a girl and I'm a boy
You're a girl and I'm a boy, you're a girl and I'm a boy
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter, just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
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
Now I can't change the way you feel but I can put my arms around you...
That's just part of the deal, that's the way I feel, I'll put my arms around you
You're a boy and I'm a girl, you're a boy and I'm a girl
You're a boy and I'm a girl, you're a boy and I'm a girl
Enjoy
