Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
CAm On the day we were supposed to leave FG You changed your mind at the station Am You had a nice apartment F There was a good bar downstairs Dm Your old friend worked there
CAm I'll go anyway I'll go anyway FG They won't refund the ticket G It's a good story
Chorus:
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 (hammer on D string) How we wanted it to be CDm Now I'm never gonna see you again DmG You checked out
Verse:
Vertabrae 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 a word instead In my sleep I repeat it It's a good story
Chorus:
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
Outro: Use chorus chords
