Gimme Shelter

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
(repeat)
Yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping
Down through the streets today
Burning like a bright red carpet
Another fool who lost the way
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
(repeat)
Yeah

(repeat verse one)

Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss awy
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

(repeat previous three twice)

(repeat love chorus)

War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
