Words That Kill Chords

Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

CThe first whiteness unfolds. G

 One lookF out the window and yourC sold. G

 A muffleCd sound as we rolled around G

 and a neFarby refuge from the colCd. G

 Where yoFur brother had transformed the bCed

 into a sFhip that could keep you Csafe. G

Chorus

 But the Cboy beneath the sheFets tonight

 is hard Cto recognize, G

 with a hCead that fills, with worFds that kill

 when youC run out of things to talk aboutG.

Leaning back on the curb,

outside her parents house in the suburbs.

Her first love was a hopeful one

and you were starry-eyed till the Earth had turned.

But you were the first born son

of a marriage of hit and run.

Chorus

So ever since you've searched for things

you could easily derail.

And they did, of course,

when you shut those doors.

Is it strange they never understood at all?

No, you were so hard to get.

And all you see now are their silhouettes.

Chorus

As you keep your pace through the cityscape

and its' picture perfect snow.

While the starlit night and city lights

are fighting to let you know

that the innocence, yeah it was well spent,

but it's time to let it go.

'Cause you've got a sharper pen and the best of friends.

So what is there to cry about?
