Intro: C F Am F x2    

Verse:   
                C               F
Would it kill you to breathe easy?
Am    F              C            F
Only 17 miles lay between you and me
             Am      F
I could make it if I had to
        C         F
I don't break easily
           Am                F
You got my council, thick as thieves
             C                    F
If there's a crime, we'll keep it secret
            Am         F                    G
For there's only trace amounts left in your blood


Pre-Chorus:
G
You may be a sinner
        F
But you may be justified


Chorus: 
               C     G
Just keep your mouth shut
          Am    Em
Keep your guard up
  F          G       C
I swear I'll make it right


Verse:
        C          F
Will it kill me to breathe?
       Am          F
Not as easy as you think it is
C               F
Between you and me
        Am           F
I could fake it if I have to
        C         F
I don't break easily
            Am                F
I need your council, thick as thieves
          C               F
I have no crime to keep a secret
       Am               F
It was hers, it was not mine


Pre-Chorus:
G
Well I may be a sinner,
       F
But it wasn't me this time


Chorus:
               C     G
Just keep your mouth shut
          Am    Em
Keep your guard up
  F          G       C
I swear I'll make it right


Bridge:
      Am
Well, listen to yourself
           Em
There is a hemmorage in your mouth
              F      G
It won't stop bleeding


Outro:
C                    G
Well, you may be the trigger
       Am               Em
I will hold the smoking gun
                F
You'll get away clean
               G                Am                  Em
I'll keep your secrets 'til the grave has swallowed me                  
           F            G                   Am            Em
And I will never tell a tortured soul there burning by my side
            F
That I am a sinner
       G
I am a savior
       C
I am a lie



Chorus:
             C     G
So keep your mouth shut
          Am    Em
Keep your guard up
  F          G       C
I swear I'll make it right
