Verse:

You were so sad you made my dogs howl
C5
You kept the ring, forgot the vow
A5
You were so sick that you almost died
C5
You needed help, but nobody tried

Chorus:
A5                     G5
Will this crime ever go to trial
C5
My heart's killing me, my heart's killing me
F5
This love won't let me be
C5
My heart's killing me
G5
It's just you, it's just me
C5
My heart's killing me

(the next verse and chorus follow the same pattern)

One sad bird on one sad fence

I cannot move, I've no defense

Staring at two helpless hands

And all I want is to hold you again

Will this crime ever go to trial

My heart's killing me, my heart's killing me

This love won't let me be

My heart's killing me

It's just you, it's just me

My heart's killing me
