Verse:
         A      D       A
Oh It's Chokin' me to death
             D       A
I can hardly get my breath
   D              A                                    E
It happens when I think of you, and I think it always will
     A   D           A
Everyday that passes by
                 D      A
Is just one more way to die
D                 A      G#   F#
Lord knows I'd be gone now
                              (Walk into Chorus)
     A       E          A      A  G#   F#
If a broken heart could kill
             E                            D                A
Why didn't you just take a gun and shoot me where I stood
    D                   A          E
And put and end to this misery for good
        A    D          A
But you know, I'm still alive
             D     A
And somehow I will survive
   D                  A   G#   F#
But lord knows I'd be cold and still
     A      E           A
If a broken heart could kill

A G# F#

    E                              D                A
Why didn't you just take a gun and shoot me where I stood
     D              A              E
Lord knows if I had nerve enough I would
       A    D           A
But you know, I'm still alive
             D     A
And somehow I will survive
   D                  A   G#   F#
But lord knows I'd be cold and still
     A      E           D
If a broken heart could kill
