Kill A Word

  Bm
If I could kill a word and watch it 
die
   D
I'd poison "never," shoot "goodbye"
  Bm                               
And beat "regret" when I felt I had
    D
 the nerve
    Bm
Yeah, I'd pound "fear" to a pile of 
sand
      D
Choke "lonely" out with my bare 
hands
   Bm                              
And I'd hang "hate" so that it 
    D
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                            
Right in its face while shootin' it
          D
 the bird
   Bm
I'd put "upset" down in its place
   D
I'd squeeze the life out of 
"disgrace"
   Bm                            
Lay "over" under six cold feet of 
      D
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                               
Use staff and rod to turn me black 
   A
and blue
         Bm
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't 
unsay
      G
But if it were up to me to change
D                                 
I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to 
                A
"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                            
Then light up "wicked," stand and 
                D
watch it burn
Bm
I'd take "vice" and I'd take "vile"
D
Tie 'em up there with "hostile"
Bm                                
Hang 'em high and leave 'em for 
         D
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                               
Use staff and rod to turn me black 
   A
and blue
          Bm
'Cause you can't unhear, you can't 
unsay
      G
But if it were up to me to change
D                                 
I'd turn "lies" and "hate" to 
                A
"love" and "truth"
  Bm      G                  D
If I could only kill a word
  Bm      G                      D
If I could only --- kill a word
