         A      D       A  
Oh It's Chokin' me to death 
 
             D       A     
I can hardly get my breath 
 
   D              A                                    E    
It happens when I think of you, and I think it always will 
 
     A   D           A   
Everyday that passes by 
 
                 D      A  
Is just one more way to die  
 
D                 A      G#   F# 
Lord knows I'd be gone now 
                              (Walk into Chorus) 
     A       E          A      A  G#   F# 
If a broken heart could kill 

      E                            D                A   
Why didn't you just take a gun and shoot me where I stood 
 
    D                   A          E 
And put and end to this misery for good 
 
        A    D          A  
But you know, I'm still alive 
 
             D     A 
And somehow I will survive 
 
   D                  A   G#   F# 
But lord knows I'd be cold and still 
 
     A      E           A  
If a broken heart could kill
 
 
 
(Walk back into the 2nd Chorus) 
 
A G# F# 
 
    E                              D                A 
Why didn't you just take a gun and shoot me where I stood 
 
     D              A              E 
Lord knows if I had nerve enough I would 
 
       A    D           A    
But you know, I'm still alive 
 
             D     A  
And somehow I will survive 
 
   D                  A   G#   F# 
But lord knows I'd be cold and still  
 
     A      E           D 
If a broken heart could kill 
 
 
End:  D E A
