CAm On the day we were supposed to leave DmG You changed your mind at the station Am You had a nice apartment C There was a good bar downstairs DmG Your old friend worked there
CAm I'll go anyway, I'll go anyway DmG They won't refund the ticket G It's a good story
DmG But I don't want to live it alone GAm Crash to take a chance AmC I wanna live it out CDm I know I'm already dead DmG No concrete adversity GAm Only traps of our own actions AmC How we wanted it to be CDm Now I'm never gonna see you again DmG You checked out
Vertebrae by vertebrae Roll your way out of a coma Look up, the nurse is smiling What luck, the nurse is me Your old body is dead Your body's dead, you're word instead In my sleep I repeat it It's a good story
But I don't want to live it alone Crash to take a chance We were gonna live it out Look at you, you're already dead How will you remember me Digging ditches out of boredom Said you would never leave Now you're never gonna be here again You turned off
Dm Hope I live it out G Hope I live it out x3 Am Hope I live it out C Hope I live it out
