G             D
It ain't the gun
         Am
It's the man behind the trigger
       Cm
Gets blood on his fingers
     G
And runs
              D
It ain't the lie
          Am                     Cm
It's the way that the truth is denied

    Bm                          Em
But if there is one thing that I'm guilty of
     Asus4                   A
It's loving and giving when you take too much
    A#                    C
If somebody asked how we died
 Dsus4                            D
Please look them straight in the eye

Chorus:
         G  D
Call it suicide
       Am
Don't fabricate
      Cm
Just tell them babe
        G   D
It was suicide
       Am
Don't sugarcoat it
      Cm
Just let them know

It ain't the knife
It's the way that you use it
How you abuse it in fights
It ain't about the life
You feel you were given
As long as you're living it right

If there is one thing that I'm guilty of
It's loving and giving when you take too much
If somebody asked how we died
Oh, you look them straight in the eyes

Chorus

             D#
You've been killing me softly
     F                       G
And finally the pain is too much
             D#
And I'm all out of whisky
     F                        G
To soak up the damage you've done
           D#
If there's anything I'm guilty of
It's loving you too much
   Dsus4                D
If anybody asks how we died

Chorus - x2

Oh, baby
Just let them know
Oh, just
