In between the coats in the closet, she held on to that heart-shaped locket

Staring at a family, flawless, but it ain't a pretty picture tonight
EmCadd9
Mom and daddy just won't stop it, fighting at the drop of a faucet
GDB7
Cuts through the walls, catastrophic, she's caught in the crossfire
EmCG
Puts her hands over her ears, starts talking through the tears
DB7
She's saying, and she's praying
EmC
I wish words were like little toy guns, no sting, no hurting no one
GD
Just a bang, bang, rolling off your tongue (wish words were like little toy guns)
EmC
Yeah, no smoke, no bullets, no kick from the trigger when you pull it
Cadd9GD
No pain, no damage done (wish words were like little toy guns)
Cadd9GD
And just a bang, bang, rolling off your tongue (wish words were like little toy guns)

Oh, I wish they didn't cut like a knife, I wish they didn't break you inside

I wish they didn't bang, bang, make you wanna run
EmC
Yeah, like little toy guns, no sting, no hurting no one

Just a bang, bang, rolling off your tongue (wish words were like little toy guns)
