[G]It ain't the [D]gun
It's the [Am]man behind the trigger
Gets [Cm]blood on his fingers
And [G]runs
It ain't the [D]lie
It's the [Am]way that
the truth is denied [Cm]
But [Cm]if there is one
It's [D]loving and giving
If [F]somebody asked how we died
[D]Please look them straight in the eye
Call it [G]suicide [D]
Don't [Am]fabricate
Just [Cm]tell them babe
It was [G]suicide [D]
Don't [Am]sugarcoat it
Just [Cm]let them know
[G]It ain't the [D]knife
It's the [Am]way that you use it
[Cm]How you abuse it in fights [G]
It ain't about the life [D]
You [Am]feel you were given
As [Cm]long as you're living it right
But [Cm]if there is one
It's [D]loving and giving
If [F]somebody asked how we died
[D]Oh, you look them straight in the eye
Call it [G]suicide [D]
Don't [Am]fabricate
Just [Cm]tell them babe
It was [G]suicide [D]
Don't [Am]sugarcoat it
Just [Cm]let them know
You've been [F]killing me softly
is too much [G]
And I'm all [F]out of whisky
you've done [Cm]
If there's [Bb]anything I'm guilty of
If [D]anybody asks how we died
Call it [G]suicide [D]
Don't [Am]fabricate
Just [Cm]tell them babe
It was [G]suicide [D]
Don't [Am]sugarcoat it
Just [Cm]let them know
[G] [D] Oh baby [Am]
[Cm]Just let them know
