Would It Kill You

This song is mostly barre chords; I used the ~ symbol in places where the
chord should be held.  Also there is a short riff that appears a few times
in the song, which I've labeled E* and played like this:
E*:
e|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|---1111------------1111---------------------------------|
D|---2222------------2222---------------------------------|
A|---2222--2-4-2-----2222--2-4-2--------------------------|
E|-0-0000--------4-0-0000--------4------------------------|




Intro/Chorus:
E~         A~               B~              E~
  Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
A~             B~               E~
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
  A~             B~              C#m~       B~
I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.


E,E,E,E


Verse:
E
Spent that summer feelin' sorry
       A		   
Like I thought I'd never get.
E
To September, so I loved her
      A                 
And intend to wait for it.

    F#m         C#m     Abm   A           E*
Oh, things were shaping up to take a while.
F#m      C#m      Abm   A         E*
All that waiting, not a single smile.
F#m Abm         A       B
	Oh, and it's so hard.

Verse:
   E
To spend all winter,
                        A                    
Wantin' summer like you couldn't bear the cold.
E
Six months later,
                       A               
It's a bummer, like it instantly got old.

    F#m         C#m     Abm      A             E*
Oh, things were playing out just like I thought.
F#m      C#m      Abm   A             E*
No sense staying, bent over what's not.
F#m Abm         A       B
	Oh, is it so hard?

Chorus:
E          A                B               E
  Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
A              B                E
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
  A              B               C#m        B
I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.

Verse:
E
One day you knew,
                 A
You were letting every worthwhile breath.
     E
Just pass right through you,
                       A
With each one you drew nearer to death.

Bridge:
C#m  Abm F#m
I've got so much on my plate.
            C#m Abm    F#m           Abm     A     B
Sometimes I try not to let it bog me down, I know.
    F#m       Abm     A   B
Oh, everybody told me so,   whoa!

E          A                B               E
  Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
A              B                E
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
  A              B               C#m        B
I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.

E          A                B               E
  Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
A              B                E
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
  A              B               C#m       B
I somehow didn't see it till just now, oh, no whoa!
