Capo 4
[Intro]
C G D C Am
[Verse 1]
C G D C Am
Walking out of England thinking you were king taking on this world
C G D C Am
On that bus that goes through Mexico a killer often finds a sweet Mexican girl
C G D C Am
But in Mississippi we rushed into the room
C G D C Am
Down in Dixie you were crying for dope
C G D C Am
Down in Alabama they like home-cooked fare yeah
So we're gonna strap you to the fryin' chair yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D C
But I don't know what love is
Am
Is there something else giving me the chills?
C G D C
But if my hands are the color of blood
Am
Then I can tell ya
sure I can tell ya
[Chorus]
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love Kills
[Verse 2]
C G D C Am
Do you wanna hear the sirens, the sirens of the city drown the arguing?
We're on Riker's Island in a population war - they don't care about your fame
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D C
But I don't know what love is
Am
Is there something else giving me the chills?
C G D C
But if my hands are the color of blood
Am
Then I can tell ya
sure I can tell ya
[Chorus]
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love Kills
[Verse 3]
C G D C
On the Rio Grande they'll tie you to a tree
Am
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh
C G D C
And you can't call the lawyers 'cause the whorehouse is asleep
Am
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh
[Instrumental]
C G D C
Am
You people will get weak
Oh-oh-ohh,oh-oh-ohh
C G D C Am
They'll throw you in a cell where you can barely breathe
[Pre-Chorus]
C G D C
But I don't know what love is
Am
Is there something else giving me the chills?
C G D C
But if my hands are the color of blood
Am
Then I can tell ya
sure I can tell ya
[Chorus]
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love kills
C G Am
Love Kills
