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                      Bm   *The Bm is optional 
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                    Bm 
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 saying, she's praying. 
 
 
  Em 
I wish words were like little toy guns 
C                                 G                                D 
 No sting, no hurt 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 
   G 
No pain, no damage done 
   D 
(I wish words were like little toy guns) 
       C                                D 
Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue 
   D 
(I wish words were like little toy guns) 
 
Instrumental Em   G   D   A 
 
Verse II 
 
Em                                       C 
Wish there was a white flag waving or that they were both just faking 
    C                                         D                Bm 
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                B7 
Throw away the score card and just turn off all the noise.

 No sting, no hurt no one, Just a bang bang rollin' off your tongue

(I wish words were like little toy guns) yeah 
Em  
 No smoke, no bullets, 
C 
 no kick from the trigger when you pull it

Bridge 
                   Em

                   C 
I wish they didn't break you inside 
                   G                             D 
I wish they didn't bang bang make you wanna ru---n, yeah
