Ricky Van Shelton - It Wouldn't Kill Me (tab)
I've tabbed out the picking for the intro and chorus, but if you're gonna pick, take
no notice of the chord shapes shown here, as they won't be quite right for the picking.
The chorus is just picking up each note of the chord..really easy, so I didn't tab that out.
Play this with capo on 2nd fret.
All chord names and shapes are relative to position of capo.
Real chord names are in square brackets below.

[D] Last night after [A]dinner as I [G]read the evening paper,
I looked [D]up to see a [G]look of [Em]sadness in her [A]eyes.
I [Bm]asked her what was [A/Db]wrong, she [D]sighed and [D/F#]said, 'It's [G]nothin',[G/F#]
But [Em]something in that nothin' [A]made me realize:
It wouldn't [D]kill me,[D/F#]
To [G]tell her that I [A]love her.
Wouldn't [D]kill me,[D/F#]
To [G]make her feel a[A]live.
I could [Bm]take more time to [D/F#]show her
How she [D]makes my [D/F#]life so [G]right.
It wouldn't [D]kill me,[Em]
Like it [G]would if she [A]ever said good[D]bye.[D][D/F#][G][Asus][A]
I [D]don't know what gets [A]in me not to [G]take these precious moments,
[D]Share them with the [G]only one who [Em]makes it all worth[A]while.
I get [Bm]so caught up in [A/Db]little things when the [D]only [D/F#]thing that [G]matters,[G/F#]
Is the [Em]way she leaves me breathless from the [A]beauty of her smile.
It wouldn't [D]kill me,[D/F#]
To [G]tell her that I [A]love her.
