(No Capo)
Intro.: (D) x 4 bars
Bm
If I could kill a word and watch it die
D
I'd poison "never," shoot "goodbye"
Bm D
And beat "regret" when I felt I had the nerve
Bm
Yeah, I'd pound "fear" to a pile of sand
D
Choke "lonely" out with my bare hands
Bm D
And I'd hang "hate" so that it can't be heard
Bm G D
If I could only kill a word
Bm
I'd take "brokeness" out back
D
And break "heartbreak," stand there and laugh
Bm D
Right in its face while shootin' it the bird
Bm
I'd put "upset" down in its place
D
I'd squeeze the life out of "disgrace"
Bm D
Lay "over" under six cold feet of dirt
Bm G D
If I could only kill a word
(Chorus)
Bm
Give me sticks, give me stones
G
Bend my body, break my bones
D A
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
Bm
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay
G
But if it were up to me to change
D A
I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth"
Bm G D
If I could only kill a word
(Verse 2)
Bm
I'd knock out "temptation"'s teeth
D
I'd sever "evil," let it bleed
Bm D
Then light up "wicked," stand and watch it burn
Bm
I'd take "vice" and I'd take "vile"
D
Tie 'em up there with "hostile"
Bm D
Hang 'em high and leave 'em for the birds
Bm G D
If I could only kill a word
(Chorus)
Bm
So give me sticks, give me stones
G
Bend my body, break my bones
D A
Use staff and rod to turn me black and blue
Bm
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't unsay
G
But if it were up to me to change
D A
I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to "love" and "truth"
Bm G D
If I could only kill a word
Bm G D
If I could only --- kill a word
