Am            E               F          C
You said you didn't know her name yesterday
Am                  E               F
But now you've got her stayin' later on
Am             E              F           C
In whispered press a lash is left on her cheek
Am            E                   F
Just brush it off you got her feelin' weak

D7                       F
After practice you were sitting on the lawn
D7                              F
While she was laughin' in the sun

Chorus:
C              E                F         C
You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
C                 E           F
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
C              E                 F               D7
I'll just wipe off my neck then leave you in between
C              E            F
You sure know how to kill me

I saw you lookin' back a lot yesterday
Thinkin' how could you get this goin' on
In whispered press her lips said yes, dance with me
Just pull her close you got her feelin' weak

In the middle of darkness after everybody's gone
She'll be lookin' back at you for the dawn

You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me
Though you would never wanna see me bleed
I'll just wipe off my neck then leave you in between
You sure know how to kill me

Chorus - x2
