Cmaj7/GG6/9 A coma might feel better than this Cmaj7/GG6/9 Attempting to discover where to begin Cmaj7/G You're weighed down, you're full of something G6/9 Of sickness and desertion Cmaj7/G You're weighed down, you're full of something G6/9 You're underneath it all
[Chorus]
EmG6/9 So say goodbye to love Gmaj7/ACmaj7/G And hold your head up high EmG6/9 There's no need to rush Gmaj7/A We're all just waiting Cmaj7/G Waiting to die
(here just strum the first two chords once and then wait and strum downx2 on the last chord)
Cmaj7/GG6/9 Hope in a better place is all I need Cmaj7/GG6/9 With moments of innocence and mystery Cmaj7/G Oh, it's the little things you miss G6/9 Like waking up all alone Cmaj7/G Oh, it's the little things you miss G6/9 When you're underneath it all
[Chorus]
EmG6/9 So say goodbye to love Gmaj7/ACmaj7/G And hold your head up high EmG6/9 There's no need to rush Gmaj7/A We're all just waiting Cmaj7/G Waiting to die
[Bridge]

Gmaj7/ACmaj7/G All your friends seem like enemies Em When you're broken down and empty Cmaj7/G Oooh oooh Gmaj7/ACmaj7/G All your friends seem like enemies Em When you're broken down and empty Cmaj7/G Em........... Ooooh oooh
[Chorus]
So say goodbye to love
And hold your head up high EmG6/9 There's no need to rush Gmaj7/A We're all just waiting Cmaj7/G Waiting to die
