Intro: B B Bm A G

B
This girl I know needs some shelter
Bm
She don't believe anyone can help her

She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
B
But you don't want to get involved

You tell her she can manage
Bm
And you can't change the way she feels
A G
But you could put your arms around her

B
I know you want to live yourself

But could you forgive yourself
A G
If you left her just the way

You found her


B
I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

I stand in front of you
B

Bm
You're a boy and i'm a girl
A G
But you know you can lean on me
B
And I don't have no fear
A
I'll take on any man here
G
Who says that's not the way it should be


B
I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection
Bm
I stand in front of you
B

Bm
She's a girl and you're a boy
A G
Sometimes you look so small, look so small
B
You've got a baby of your own
A
When your baby's grown, she'll be the one
G
To catch you when you fall


B
I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Bm B
You're a girl and I'm a boy
A G
You're a girl and I'm a boy

B
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter
Bm
Just runnin' round and round, helter skelter

And I've leaned on you for years
B
Now you can lean on me

And that's more than love, that's the way
Bm
It should be

Now I can't change the way you think
A G
But I can put my arms around you
B
That's just part of the deal
A
That's the way I feel
G
I put my arms around you


B
I stand in front of you

I'll take the force of the blow

Protection

A G
You're a boy and i'm a girl
