Intro
A5   E5   D5  A5  x2

Verse w/intro
I don't mind the abuse,
It fills in time, when I'm not much use,

Chorus
        E5         G5
But its killing me,
           w/intro
Killing me slowly.

Verse
They all say, I'm too restless but,
Words cut deep, when you're defenseless,

Chorus
And they're killing me,
Killing me slowly.

Middle
D5        
There was a time when we were fine,
            G5
And I could tolerate you,
C5
I do believe that you should leave,
             A5
Because I've grown to hate you,
D5
Should I be weak and turn my cheek,
            G5
Because I'm scared to fall,
E5                                   E5
But I just don't know you and you don't know me at all.

Verse
I've been told, that love's a celebration,
But, I've lost faith, through frustration,

Chorus
And it's killing me,
Killing me slowly.

Bridge
A5              Abaug
You paint my picture black,
C5                  A5
The jokes on me, and I don't wanna laugh,
F5                 G5                        
Remeber the good times, won't you bring them back,
    F5       G5   E5
Someday, somehow.

Verse
I don't mind feeling blue,
If I could smile just like you do,

Chorus
And it's killing me,
Killing me slowly.

Bridge
I can't go on alone,
Pretending nothings wrong.
Maybe I just want to belong,
Someday, somehow.
G5 E5
Somehow
