   Em7              C        G                        D/F#
Disarm you with a smile and cut you like you want me to
Em7               C      G                     D/F#    Em7
Cut that little child inside of me and such a part of you
   C              G  D/F#
Oh hoo the years burn
Em7 C             G  D C
Oh hoo the years burn

Chorus:
C                     Em7    D           C
I used to be a little boy so old in my shoes
C                         Em7            D               C
And what I choose is my choice what's a boy supposed to do
C                                 Em7     D
The killer in me is the killer in you my love
C                         Em7 D Em7 D C
I send this smile over to you

Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone
Ooh, the years burn
Ooh, the years burn, burn, burn

Chorus:
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my voice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
My love, I send this smile over to you

D             Em7                   C
The killer in me is the killer in you
                             D
I send this smile over to you
D             Em7                  C
The killer in me is the killer in you
                             D
I send this smile over to you
D             Em7                  C
The killer in me is the killer in you
                             D Em7 D Em7 D Em7 C
I send this smile over to you
