[Intro]
B B Bm A G
[Verse]
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
Protection
Bm
I stand in front of you
B
I''''ll take the force of the blow

[Chorus]
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

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

[Verse]
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
