Gimme Shelter lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, see a storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus 1]
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Oh, see the fire is sweepin'
Down through the streets today
Burn me like a blood-red carpet
Mad fool who lost the way

[Chorus 2]
Rape, murder!
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder!
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Yeah
[Verse 3]
Oh, see a storm is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Yeah, or I'm gonna fade away

[Chorus 3]
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

[Chorus 4]
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

[Chorus 5]
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
[Chorus 6]
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

[Chorus 4]
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

[Chorus 5]
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
[Chorus 6]
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

[Outro]
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
