[G5] [F5]
Verse 1
She was a [G5]ballerina on a subway train
[G5]Stiletto heels and a candy cane
[G5]Looked like a number on a station wall
Hot on the tail of a [F5]social [G5]call
[A5]I wet my lips I thought I had it made
[A5]Like Valentino with a hand grenade
[A5]I made my move with my libido on
[C5]She circled once and then she [D5]dropped the bomb
Chorus
She got the [A5]big [C5]guns, [G5]pointed at my heart
[A5]Bang-bang [G5]shooting [D5]like a firing [G5]squad
[A5]Big guns, [G5]she blew me away
And I went down in [D5]flames[E5]
Interlude

I met a [A5]sidewalk preacher on a roller skate
[A5]He said he had the key to Heaven's gate

And [C5]learned that like is a battle and [D5]love is war
Chorus
She got the [A5]big [C5]guns, [G5]pointed at my heart
[A5]Bang-bang [D5]shooting like a firing squad
[A5]Big [C5]guns, [G5]took me by surprise
[A5]She got my [G5]lovin' [D5]reachin' for the sky
She got the [A5]big [C5]guns, [G5]pointed at my heart
