Chords

No Capo. [Intro] (D) (x4) bar's [Verse 1]
  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
