Guitar 2 (wah) B5 (x x 9 11 12 x) repeated on up beat on 2
[Verse 1]
[Bmaj7]This girl I know needs some shelter, She don't believe anyone can help her
[Bsus4]She's doing so much harm, doin[Em/B]g so much damage, But[Bmaj7] you don't want to get involved
You tell her she can manage, [Em/B]And you can't change the way she feels
But you could put your arms around he[A6sus2]r[Gmaj7-5]
[Bmaj7]I know you want to live yourself, But could you forgive yourself
[A6sus2]If you left her [Gmaj7-5]just the way you found her
[Cborus]
[Bmaj7]I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Bsus4]I stand in front of yo[Em/B]u, I'll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Verse 2]
[Bsus4]You're a boy and I'm a[Em/B] girl, But you know you can lean on me[A6sus2] [Gmaj7-5]
[Bmaj7]And I don't have no fear, I'll take on any man here, Who say[A6sus2]s that's not the way[Gmaj7-5] it
should be
[Cborus]
[Bmaj7]I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Bsus4]I stand in front of you, I[Em/B]'ll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Verse 3]
[Bsus4]She's a girl and you'r[Em/B]e a boy, Sometimes you look so sma[A6sus2]ll, look so small[Gmaj7-5]
[Bmaj7]You've got a baby of your own, When your baby's grown, s[A6sus2]he'll be the one, To[Gmaj7-5] catch you
when you fall
[Cborus]
[Bmaj7]I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Bsus4]I stand in front of yo[Em/B]u, I'll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Bsus4]You're a girl and I'm [Em/B]a boy, You[A6sus2]'re a girl and I'm a[Gmaj7-5] boy,
[Bsus4]You're a girl and I'm [Em/B]a boy, You[A6sus2]'re a girl and I'm a[Gmaj7-5] boy,
[Verse 4]
[Bmaj7]Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter, Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter
[Bsus4]And I've leaned on me, Now you can lean on me
[Bmaj7]And that's more than love, that's the way, It should be
[Bsus4]Now I can't change the way you th[Em/B]ink, But I can put my arms arou[A6sus2]nd you[Gmaj7-5]
[Bsus4]That's just part of the deal,[Em/B] That's the way I feel[A6sus2] [Gmaj7-5]
[Cborus]
[Bmaj7]I stand in front of you, I'll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Bsus4]I stand in front of yo[Em/B]u, I'll take the force of the blow
[Bmaj7]Protection
[Bsus4]You're a girl and I'm [Em/B]a boy, You[A6sus2]'re a girl and I'm a[Gmaj7-5] boy,
[Bsus4]You're a girl and I'm [Em/B]a boy, You[A6sus2]'re a girl and I'm a[Gmaj7-5] boy,
