Verse:
Em
In between the coats in the closet
C
She held on to that heart shaped locket
G
Staring at a family flawless
DBm
But it ainʼt a pretty picture tonight
Em
Mom and daddy just wouldnʼt stop it
C
Fighting at the drop of a faucet
G
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
DBm
Sheʼs caught in the crossfire
Pre-chorus:
EmC
Puts her hands over her ears
G
Starts talking through the tears
DB7
and Sheʼs saying, sheʼs praying.
Chorus:
Em
I wish words were like little toy guns
CGD
No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollinʼ off your tongue
D
(I wish words were like little toy guns) yeah
Em
No smoke, no bullets,
C
no kick from the trigger when you pull it
G
No pain, no damage done
D
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
CD
Just a bang bang rollinʼ off your tongue
D
(I wish words were like little toy guns)

EmC
Wish there was a white flag waving or that they were both

Leave the plastic pistols in the front yard

Throw away the score card and just turn off all the noise.
