Introduction: D A D A E  D A C#m D (2 beats each) 

(Verse) 
D                                        A 
You never think your lover's words could kill you 
        D                                   F#m 
And you can't for see the blow that is your last 
           D                             A 
But you've brought me to my knees with a blow that I believe 
            C#m                            D 
Has somehow paralyzed my need for fighting back 

  D                                       A 
I can't pretend that they don't know your secret 
      D                                  F#m 
And I can't pretend that I don't know it too 
      D                              A 
I can hear the people talking, I can feel their pity eyes 
C#m                            D 
Dare I say the fault is really mine 
C#m                     D 
Dare I say the fault is mine 


D              A 
I wish I could tell you 
D          F#m 
I love you still 
D              A 
I gave you the hammer 
      C#m                                  D 
But I didn't know that you would strike to kill 


Interlude: D A D A E     D A C#m D (2 beats each) 

(Verse) 
       D                       A 
You're quite as I stutter over questions 
      D                              F#m 
Whose answers I don't really want to know 

        D 
Did you whisper that you loved her,  
          A 
Drop your kisses on her neck 
    D                            F#m 
And with determination, down the wine 

           D                     A 
There will always be another and another choice to make 

        C#m                    D 
Another chance to justify your crime, 
        C#m                  D 
Another chance to choose the crime 

D              A 
I wish I could tell you 
D          F#m 
I love you still 
D              A 
I gave you the hammer 
      C#m                                  D 
But I didn't know that you would strike to kill 
      C#m                         E 
But I didn't think that you could kill

D          F#m 
I love you still 
D              A 
I gave you the hammer 
      C#m                                  D 
But I didn't know that you would strike to kill 


 
D              A 
I wish I could tell you 
D       F#m 
I never will 
D              A 
I gave you the hammer 
      C#m                                  D 
But I didn't know that you would strike to kill

But I didn't think that you could kill
