🎸 Verse 1:
G+G        E minorEm
You hung up the phone
   D MajorD          C majorC
And I asked you what was wrong
       E minorEm      D MajorD
Your dad has come to town
        C majorC
He'd like to meet
    G+G          C majorC
I said, "You don't have to see him"
  E minorEm              C majorC
But for whatever reason you can't tell him no

🎸 Verse 2:
   G+G       E minorEm
So we meet him at a bar
     D MajorD       C majorC
You were holding my hand hard
      G+G
He ordered rum and coke
        D MajorD      C majorC
I can't drink either anymore
      G+G         D MajorD
He hadn't seen you since the fifth grade
      E minorEm         C majorC
Now you're nineteen and you're five-eight
     E minorEm
He said "Honey, you sure look great
    D MajorD                 C majorC
Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?"

🎸 Chorus:
    A minorAm
I would kill him
    D MajorD
If you let me
    A minorAm
I would kill him
      D MajorD
Quick and easy
    A minorAm       G+G
Your nails are digging
     D MajorD
Into my knee
    E minorEm
I don't know
  D MajorD      C majorC
How you keep smiling

🎸 Verse 3:
       G+G
I lovе your eyes
   E minorEm
And he has thеm
      G+G
Or you have his
    D MajorD   C majorC
'Cause he was first
 G+G     C majorC      E minorEm
I imagine my thumbs on the irises
     D MajorD      C majorC
Pressing in until they burst

🎸 Verse 4:
      G+G
I clear my throat
   E minorEm       D MajorD
And say we ought to get home
  C majorC      G+G
He offers us a ride
 E minorEm         D MajorD     C majorC
I reply "No, that's alright"
       E minorEm
And when we leave
       C majorC
You feel him watching
   G+G      D MajorD       C majorC
So we walk a mile in the wrong direction

🎸 Chorus:
    A minorAm
I would kill him
    D MajorD
If you let me
    A minorAm
I would kill him
      D MajorD
Quick and easy
       A minorAm    G+G
Your nails are digging
   D MajorD
Into my knee
    E minorEm
I don't know
    D MajorD    C majorC
how you keep smiling
    E minorEm
I don't know
   D MajorD    C majorC
how you keep smiling
    E minorEm
I don't know
   D MajorD     C majorC
how you keep smiling

🎸 Outro:
    D MajorD             C majorC
I wanna take your face between my hands and say
G+G       E minorEm      D MajorD     C majorC
"You two are connected by a pure coincidence
G+G        E minorEm       D MajorD        C majorC
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative
G+G         E minorEm     D MajorD         C majorC
You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid
G+G           E minorEm     D MajorD      C majorC
But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did
G+G         E minorEm     D MajorD      C majorC
You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"
