Intro:
| Bmaj7 | % | Bsus4 | % | A6sus2 | Gmaj7 |
Bsus4 Bmaj7
This girl now needs some shelter, she don't believe anyone can help her
Bsus4
She's doing so much harm, doing so much damage
Bmaj7
But you don't wanna get involved, you tell her she can manage
Bsus4 A6sus2 Gmaj7
And you can't change the way she feels, but you can put your arms around her...
Bsus4 Bmaj7 A6sus2 Gmaj7
And though you wanna live yourself, could you forgive yourself if you left her just
the way you found her?
--CHORUS:
Bsus4 Bmaj7
I stand in front of you and take the force of the blow, protection
Bsus4 Bmaj7
I stand in front of you and take the force of the blow, protection
--------
Bsus4 A6sus2 Gmaj7
You're a boy and I'm a girl but you know you can lean on me...
Bsus4 Bmaj7 A6sus2 Gmaj7
And I don't have no fear, I'll take on any man here, who says that's not the way it should
be?
Bsus4 A6sus2 Gmaj7
She's a girl and you're a boy, sometimes you look so small, you look so small
Bsus4 Bmaj7 A6sus2 Gmaj7
You've got a baby of your own but when your baby's gone, she'll be the one to catch you
when you fall
Bsus4 A6sus2 Gmaj7
You're a girl and I'm a boy, you're a girl and I'm a boy
Bmaj7 A6sus2 Gmaj7
You're a girl and I'm a boy, you're a girl and I'm a boy
Bsus4 Bmaj7
Sometimes you look so small, need some shelter, just runnin' round and round, helter
skelter
Bsus4 Bmaj7
And I've leaned on you for years, now you can lean on me, and that's more than love, that's
the way it should be
Bsus4 A6sus2 Gmaj7
Now I can't change the way you feel but I can put my arms around you...
Bsus4 Bmaj7 A6sus2 Gmaj7
That's just part of the deal, that's the way I feel, I'll put my arms around you
Bsus4 A6sus2 Gmaj7
You're a boy and I'm a girl, you're a boy and I'm a girl
Bmaj7 A6sus2 Gmaj7
You're a boy and I'm a girl, you're a boy and I'm a girl
Enjoy

| Protection that comes from being loved by someone- it could be between a boy and a girl, or a parent and child. Beautiful emotional lyrics- one of the most evocative electronic songs I've ever heard. | |

| This is one of the most beautiful songs. I feel it is about someone who wants to help and protect her but they can't protect her from herself and her feelings so they do the only thing they can. But you don't want to get involved You tell her she can manage And you can't change the way she feels But you could put your arms around her | |
