Murder Or Heart Attack chords – Old 97s

        [ E ] 
And the hole 
       [ D ]              [ A ]
In the screen is barely big enough 
    [ E ]                               [ D ] [ A ]
For you and not near enough for me to go 
        [ E ] 
And the whole damn complicated 
[ D ]       [ A ]
Situation could've been 
[ E ]           [ D ]            [ A ]   [mute strings]
Avoided if I'd only shut the window 

CHORUS: 
             [ A ]            [ E ]
And I may be leavin' myself open 
    [ A ]                [ D ]
To a murder or a heart attack 
        [ A ]                   [ E ]
But I'm leavin' the back door open 
              [ G ]                 [ D ]
'Til you come back, 'til you come back 
             [ A ]           [ E ]
And I may be movin' myself closer 
     [ A ]           [ D ]
To a real untimely end 
        [ A ]                   [ E ]        
But I'm leavin' the back door open 
              [ G ]   [ D ]
'Til you come home again, 
              [ A ][ E ]  [ D ]
'Til you come ho-ome again 

And I told 
The neighbors, I put pictures up 
And handed out some flyers at the show 
And the whole town speculating 
Situation could've been 
Avoided if I'd only shut the window 

CHORUS 

BRIDGE (Instrumental - Same as Verse 1 & 2)

END CHORUS:
             [ A ]            [ E ]
And I may be leavin' myself open

To a murder or a heart attack 
        [ A ]                   [ E ]
But I'm leavin' the back door open 
              [ G ]                 [ D ]
'Til you come back, 'til you come back 
             [ A ]           [ E ]

To a real untimely end 
        [ A ]                   [ E ]        
But I'm leavin' the back door open 
              [ G ]   [ D ]
'Til you come home again, 
              [ A ][ E ]  [ D ]
'Til you come ho-ome again 
              [ A ][ E ][ G ][ D ]
'Til you come ho-oo-oo-ome
