verse 1 
Am           E               F          C 
You said you didn't know her name yesterday 
Am                 E           F 
But now you've got her stayin' later on 
Am           E               F           C 
In whispered press a lash is left on her cheek 
Am            E               E       F 
Just brush it off you got her feelin' weak 

Pre Chorus 
D7                                 F 
After practice you were sitting on the lawn 
D7                    F 
While she was laughin' in the sun 

C             E                      F       C 
You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me 
Am                      E                         F 
Though you would never wanna see me bleed 
C              E                F               D7 
I'll just wipe off my neck then leave you in between 
C             E           F 
You sure know how to kill me 

verse 2 
Am        E              F         C 
I saw you lookin' back a lot yesterday 
Am           E                  E     F 
Thinkin' how could you get this goin' on 
Am           E                   F               C 
In whispered press her lips said yes, dance with me 
Am            E                 E       F 
Just pull her close you got her feelin' weak 

Pre Chorus 
D7                              F 
In the middle of darkness after everybody's gone

She'll be lookin' back at you for the dawn

You sure know how to drop that guillotine on me

Though you would never wanna see me bleed

I'll just wipe off my neck then leave you in between

You sure know how to kill me
