Killing Me Slowly

C#m B A F#m
C#m
Killing me, killing me
B               A  F#m
Killing me slowly

[Verse]
C#m
I built these walls to hide my ghosts
C#m
Your fingers trace the wounds exposed
C#m
I try and try to let you in
C#m
But I fail again and again

[Verse]
C#m
So I keep you at arm's length and let you go
C#m
But I don't wanna give you away
C#m
Yeah I keep you at arm's length and let you go
C#m
But only if you promise to stay

[Pre-chorus]
              C#m
You think you know that you know
         B                 A
But you really don't know me
            C#m
I know you love so hard
          B             A
And it's killing me slowly

[Chorus]
                C#m
And now I can't eat, can't sleep
         B                   A
Knowing that you're not lonely
   F#m      C#m
I know you love so hard
          B             A   F#m
And it's killing me slowly
C#m
Killing me, killing me
B               A  F#m
Killing me slowly

[Verse]
C#m
I run this maze, erase my steps
C#m
With lips that lie, with every breath
C#m
You try and try to let me in
C#m
But I hurt you again and again

[Verse]
C#m
So I keep you at arm's length and let you go
C#m
But I don't wanna give you away
C#m
Yeah I keep you at arm's length and let you go
C#m
But only if you promise to stay

[Chorus]
              C#m
You think you know that you know
         B                 A
But you really don't know me
   F#m      C#m
I know you love so hard
          B             A
And it's killing me slowly
    F#m          C#m
And now I can't eat, can't sleep
         B                   A
Knowing that you're not lonely
   F#m      C#m
I know you love so hard
          B             A   F#m
And it's killing me slowly

You're everything I need
                B
I should have known
                     F#m             G#
(killing me, killing me, killing me slowly)
        A            E
You're everything I need
                B
I should have known
                     F#m             G#
