JJAMZ – Suicide Pact standard tuning capo on 2nd fret
[D] We chased fame, we chased [A] fortune [G] We could barely catch our [D] breath [D] You looked great and I looked [A] gorgeous We [G] turned some heads and even broke some [D] necks And [Em] it came time to [G] take our lives
[D] You turned your back on the suicide pact And left me [G] dancing with the dead [D] You turned your back on the suicide pact And left me [G] dancing with the dead [Em] All you had to do was [G] simply follow through But [D] you turned your back on the suicide pact And left me [G] dancing, dancing with the [D] dead
[D] We tasted fame, we made our [A] fortune It was [G] stripped away, now memories long [D] past Then you were [D] tamed and I was [A] tortured But [G] like the pain I knew we wouldn't [D] last And [Em] it came time to [G] take our lives
