Intro:   D#  F  
If toBbday weren't just like D#any day perBbhaps I'd try
To shed this worn out D#skin so thick and Flearn to fly
But D#I came home to Fface your ice and Bbsteel
D#If looks could Bbkill D#I would be Bbgone today
ThereBb's a fire that's burning D#in your eyes not Bbin your heart
I can fan the D#flames but I can't Fmake a spark
And D#I don't like the Fway I make you Bbfeel
D#If looks could Bbkill D#I would be Bblong since gone
If D#looks could kill then I'd be pushing Fup your daisies
If D#looks could kill then I would not be Fgoing crazyF7  
There's a stool that I've been glued to for so many nights
And a bar to pour my heart out to and make it right
And I don't have to tell myself it's real
If looks could kill my heart would beat no more
Solo +:
If looks could kill then I'd be deep in peaceful slumber
If looks could kill then I would not be going under
There's a gun out in the hallway covered up in dust
That works well enough to turn this heartache into dust
Go on and let your lawyer make a deal
If looks could kill
If looks could kill I would be long since gone

If looks could kill then I would not be going under

There's a gun out in the hallway covered up in dust

That works well enough to turn this heartache into dust

Go on and let your lawyer make a deal

If looks could kill

If looks could kill I would be long since gone
