SLOW FADE

Band rehearsal #5


...three, four

Say little darling ??? at night
Praying tomorrow will be alright
But tomorrow's falling one by one
???

Point blank, shot in the back, baby
Point blank, ???, girl
Point blank, between your pretty eyes
Point blank, ???

Well, ??? I knew it was you
??? nothing to lose
???
???

Point blank, shot in the back, baby
Point blank, ???
Point blank, between your pretty eyes
Point blank, ???

???
???

??? the avenue
Your face in the shadows but I knew that it was you
You were standing on the corner ???
???
???
???
???
???

Point blank, ???, baby
Point blank, ???
Point blank, ???
Point blank, ???
Yeah!
