Kill A Word chords by Eric Church

(No Capo)

Intro.: (D) x 4 bars

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