C5                       E5 
You hit the nail on the head tonight 
D5                             C5
Everything you do is in spite
     E5     D5 
I'll be alright

C5 , E5 , D5 (4x)

Verse 1

C5            E5
How does she do this to me? 
D5                            C5
How have I fallen completely?
             E5
She's just a girl
             D5
But she's my world

Consequently
C5                   E5
She reads books and I read hearts
    D5                             C5
The line we color in never starts 
            E5                D5
But she can kill me with her smile

I'd brush it off but I'd be in denial.

C5 , E5 , D5 (4x)

CHORUS

G5           D5             C5                   D5
This is the killing and I don't know where to start
G5               D5                        C5                     D5
It troubles me, lack of complexity, that we would ever have to part
G5           D5        C5               D5
This is the killing, Control is only true
G5                  D5                        C5          D5 
When it belongs to someone and that someone isn't you


C5 , E5 , D5 (4x)

Verse 2

C5             E5
Her eyes were ocean green 
D5                             C5
Beautiful yet so damn obscene
                E5
The night could not be controlled 
       D5                              C5
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
               E5
And I knew she was for me
    D5                                    C5
The way she spoke it was, it was so sweet
      E5                 D5
Akwardly, are you gonna kiss me?

CHORUS

C5 , E5 , D5 (4x)

C5                       E5
You hit the nail on the head tonight 
  D5                                       C5
I thought everything you did was in spite
    E5     D5
I'm not alright
