hellogoodbye Would It Kill You? Lyrics

This song is mostly barre chords; I used the ~ symbol in places where the
chord should be held. Also there is a short riff that appears a few times
in the song, which I've labeled E* and played like this:
E*:
Intro/Chorus:
E~ A~ B~ E~
Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
A~ B~ E~
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
A~ B~ C#m~ B~
I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.
Verse:
Spent that summer feelin' sorry
Like I thought I'd never get.
To September, so I loved her
And intend to wait for it.
Oh, things were shaping up to take a while.
All that waiting, not a single smile.
Oh, and it's so hard.
Verse:
To spend all winter,
Wantin' summer like you couldn't bear the cold.
Six months later,
It's a bummer, like it instantly got old.
Oh, things were playing out just like I thought.
No sense staying, bent over what's not.
Oh, is it so hard?
Chorus:
Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.
(slightly different from the E*)
Verse:
One day you knew,
You were letting every worthwhile breath.
Just pass right through you,
With each one you drew nearer to death.
Bridge:
I've got so much on my plate.
Sometimes I try not to let it bog me down, I know.
Oh, everybody told me so, whoa!
Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
I somehow didn't see it till just now, till now.
Would it kill you just to let it all work out?
Tryin' so hard just to break it down.
I somehow didn't see it till just now, oh, no whoa!
