F *                    A *
You drifted away, but she wanted to stay.
  G *                                         F*
Even though she knows his feelings will never change.
    F *                         A *
She waits and she waits just to hear her name
    G *                             F* A*
and those three words that mean everything.

[Pre-chorus]
         A                   F                                      G G
But deep down she's aware that that's something that'll never reach her ear.
    A                       F                                   G G7 *
And deep down she's aware that that's something she'll never live to hear.

[Chorus]
      F               A            G     G
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe.
    F                    A                      G G7 *
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
         F     A G G 
When I'm gone.

[Verse 2]
    F           A    G    G
She sees his face everyday.
    F                      A             G        G7 *
And maybe one day he'll say, "I've always felt that way."

[Pre-chorus]
    F                         A                                      G G
But deep down she's aware that that's something she'll never live to hear.
    F                         A                               G  G7 *
And deep down she's aware that those words will never reach her ear.

[Chorus]
   F                  A            G     G
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe.
    F                    A                      G  G7 *
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
         F    A        G      G
When I'm gone,  When I'm gone

[Bridge]
     F *                    A *         G *                  G7*
I forget about you over the weekend. Decided that I'm over it
        F *               A *             G *            G7*
But the second I see your face again it's like the match was re-lit
     F *                    A *         G *                  G7 *
I forget about you over the weekend. Decided that I'm over it
        F *               A *             G              G7 *
But the second I see your face again it's like the match was re-lit

[Chorus]
   F *                 A*          G *   G7*
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe.
    F *                  A *                     G * G7 *
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
              C *
When I'm gone
