[Verse I]

  Em
In   between the coats in the closet
            C
She held on    to that heart shaped locket
    G
Staring at a family flawless
           D
But it ain't   a pretty picture tonight
   Em
Mom   and daddy just wouldn't stop it
     C
Fighting at the drop of a faucet
G
Cuts through the walls catastrophic
            D                   B7
She's caught    in the crossfire


[Pre-Chorus]

Em                          C
     Puts her hands over her ears
                           G
Starts talking through the tears
             D                B7
and She's say -ing, she's pray - ing.


[Chorus]

  Em                                  C
I wish words were like little toy guns
                                     G                                  D
 No sting, no hurting no one, Just a bang bang rollin' 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
        
No pain, no damage done
   D
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
       C
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
   D
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
          C            G
and just a bang  bang  rolling off your tongue
    D                                 Em
(I wish words were like little toy guns__)

[Verse 2]

     Em                                       C
Wish    there was a white flag waving or that    they were both just faking
      G                                              D
And it   was just a game they were playing like shoot - 'em up cowboys
          Em                                 C
Leave the plastic pistols in the front ya----rd
                         G                                    D
Throw away the score card_____  and just turn off all the noise.


[Chorus]

  Em                                  C
I wish words were like little toy guns

 No sting, no hurting no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
   D                                           
(I wish words were like little toy guns) yeah__

No pain, no damage done

       C
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue
   D
(I wish words were like little toy guns)
          C            G
and just a bang  bang  rolling off your tongue

(I wish words were like       toy guns_______________________________
                        Em
Oh  I wish they didn't  cut like a knife
    Em
    I wish they didn't break you inside
                     G
  I wish they didn't bang    bang 
                  D   
Make you wanna run______ yeah___________


[Chorus]

   No smoke, no bullets,

    no shot from the trigger when you pull it
        
No pain, no damage done
