Intro.:  --- Drum fills x 2 bars --- |(Em)(G)|(D)(D/A)|(Em)(G)|(D)(D/A)|

(Verse 1)
(Em)In between the coats in the closet, she held (C)on to that heart-shaped locket
(G)Staring at a family, flawless, but it (D)ain't a pretty picture tonight
(Em)Mom and daddy just won't stop it, (C)fighting at the drop of a faucet
(G)Cuts through the walls, catastrophic, she's (D)caught in the crossfire

(Pre-Chorus)
(Em) Puts her hands over her (C)ears, starts talking through the (G)tears
And she's (D)saying, and she's (G/B)praying

(Chorus)
I (Em)wish words were like little toy guns, (C) no stain, no hurting no one
Just a (G)bang, bang rolling 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 (G)pain, no damage done (D) (I wish words were like little toy guns)
And just a (C)bang, bang (G)rolling off your tongue
(D) (I wish words were like little toy guns)

Solo:  |(C)(G)|(D) |

(Verse 2)
(Em)Wish there was a white flag waving, or (C)that they were both just faking
And (G)it was just a game they were playing like (D)shoot-'em-up cowboys

(Pre-Chorus)
Leave the (Em)plastic pistols in the front yard, (C) throw away the score-(G)card
And just (D)turn off all the noise (G/B)

(Chorus)
I (Em)wish words were like little toy guns, (C) no stain, no hurting no one
Just a (G)bang, bang rolling 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 (G)pain, no damage done (D) (I wish words were like little toy guns)
And just a (C)bang, bang (G)rolling off your tongue
(D) (I wish words were like little toy guns)
                                                    Toy guns
Solo:  |(Em) |(C) |(G) |(D)

(Bridge)
Oh, I wish they didn't (Em)cut like a knife, I wish they didn't (C)break you inside
I wish they didn't (G)bang, bang, make you wanna run (D)

(Chorus)
Yeah, (Em) like little toy guns, (C) no sting, no hurting no one
Just a (G)bang, bang rolling off your tongue (D) (I wish words were like little toy guns)
Yeah, (Em) no smoke, no bullets, (C) no shot from the trigger when you pull it
No (G)pain, no damage done (D) (I wish words were like little toy guns)
And just a (G)bang, bang rolling off your tongue
(D) (I wish words were like little toy guns)
                                                    Toy guns
