Version 1
            [Verse 1]
G                Em
You hung up the phone
      D                   C
And I asked you what was wrong
             Em            D
Your dad has come to town
               C
He'd like to meet
        G                    C
I said, "You don't have to see him"
    Em                            C
But for whatever reason you can't tell him no

[Verse 2]
      G             Em
So we meet him at a bar
          D              C
You were holding my hand hard
           G
He ordered rum and coke
               D            C
I can't drink either anymore
           G                  D
He hadn't seen you since the fifth grade
            Em                 C
Now you're nineteen and you're five-eight
         Em
He said "Honey, you sure look great
        D                                 C
Do you get the checks I send on your birthday?"

[Chorus]
        Am
I would kill him
        D
If you let me
        Am
I would kill him
           D
Quick and easy
       Am              G
Your nails are digging
         D
Into my knee
        Em
I don't know
    D           C
How you keep smiling

[Verse 3]
             G
I lovе your eyes
      Em
And he has thеm
            G
Or you have his
       D     C
'Cause he was first
  G          C           Em
I imagine my thumbs on the irises
         D            C
Pressing in until they burst

[Verse 4]
           G
I clear my throat
     Em              D
And say we ought to get home
   C           G
He offers us a ride
  Em                 D         C
I reply "No, that's alright"
              Em
And when we leave
              C
You feel him watching
      G           D              C
So we walk a mile in the wrong direction

[Chorus]
        Am
I would kill him
        D
If you let me
        Am
I would kill him
           D
Quick and easy
             Am        G
Your nails are digging
      D
Into my knee
        Em
I don't know
       D        C
how you keep smiling
        Em
I don't know
      D        C
how you keep smiling
        Em
I don't know
     D         C
how you keep smiling

[Outro]
        D                         C
I wanna take your face between my hands and say
G              Em           D          C
"You two are connected by a pure coincidence
G                Em             D               C
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative
G                  Em         D                  C
You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid
G                     Em          D           C
But you don't owe him shit even if he said you did
G                 Em         D            C
You don't owe him shit even if he said you did"
