                    Am                F         G         Am
    Shot through the heart, and you're to blame.
                      G      F   Am
    Darling, you give love a bad name!
       Am
1. An angel's smile is what you sell,
    you promise me heaven, then put me through hell.
    Chains of love got a hold on me,
    when passion's a prison, you can't break free.
D                              Am   D
    Oh, you're a loaded gun!      Oh, there's nowhere to run!
                             E
    No one can save me, the damage is done.
  Am               F          G          Am
Shot through the heart,  and you're to blame,
           G     F   Am
you give love a bad name!
           F            G         Am
I play my part and you play your game,
          G      F   Am             G        Am
you give love a bad name! You give love  ~ a bad name!
    Am
2.  You paint your smile on your lips,
    blood red nails on your fingertips.
    A school boy's dream, you act so shy,
    your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye.
D                        Am   D
    Oh, You're a loaded gun!    Oh, there's nowhere to run!
                             E
    No one can save me, the damage is done.  + REFRAIN
+ REFRAIN ....
