 Last night after dinner as I read the evening paper,
         D           G       Em             A
I looked up to see a look of sadness in her eyes.
  Bm                 A/Db       D          D/F#        G       G/F#
I asked her what was wrong, she sighed and said, 'It's nothin',
    Em                        A
But something in that nothin' made me realize:

[Chorus]
            D       D/F#
It wouldn't kill me,
   G               A
To tell her that I love her.
         D       D/F#
Wouldn't kill me,
   G              A
To make her feel alive.
        Bm                D/F#
I could take more time to show her
        D        D/F#    G
How she makes my life so right.
            D       Em
It wouldn't kill me,
        G            A             D     D  D/F#  G  Asus  A
Like it would if she ever said goodbye.

[Verse]
  D                    A            G
I don't know what gets in me not to take these precious moments,
D                   G            Em                A
Share them with the only one who makes it all worthwhile.
      Bm              A/Db                   D    D/F#       G       G/F#
I get so caught up in little things when the only thing that matters,
       Em                                    A
Is the way she leaves me breathless from the beauty of her smile.

[Chorus]
            D       D/F#
It wouldn't kill me,
   G               A
To tell her that I love her.
         D       D/F#
Wouldn't kill me,
   G              A
To make her feel alive.
        Bm                D/F#
I could take more time to show her
        D        D/F#    G
How she makes my life so right.
            D       Em
It wouldn't kill me,
        G            A             D
Like it would if she ever said goodbye.

[Outro]
        Bm                A/Db
I could take more time to show her
        D        D/F#    G
How she makes my life so right.
            D       Em
It wouldn't kill me,
        G            A        D        D  D/F#  G  Asus  A  D
Like it would if she ever said goodbye.
