Time is running out
Am C
as you die die die in this bed not making a sound
Am Dm
It has all come crashing down
Am G
to be here and watch you breathe your last
Dm Am G
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast
C
Oh God are you listening now
Am C
As this cancer dances through her and then takes a bow
Am Dm
It won't disappoint the crowd
Am G Dm
whose words are a curse as I hear them one by one
Am G Am
each pull, the string, and I come undone
F C Am
F
I know this, I failed to say (I'm sinking by your side) you're worth this
C Am
I wouldn't trade a day (to not have gone through this)
F C Am
So many days I've been blind, I want to stop and rewind
F Fm/G#
Kick off our shoes and dance
C
with the ghost of you
Am C
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse
Am Dm
You're the only one I knew
Am G
that could tame me and make me who I am
Dm Am G
Am
But now it's all fading, and there's nothing left of all my plans
F C Am
F
I know this, I failed to say (I'm sinking by your side) you're worth this
C Am
I wouldn't trade a day (to not have gone through this)
F C Am
So many days I've been blind, I want to stop and rewind

Kick off our shoes and dance
Fm/G# G
Let's dance again, We'll turn up our sleeves, I know just where to begin
Fm/G# G Dm Em
Dance, let's dance again, we could find ourselves before this happens
Am
These words of mine are trite and so cliché
Em
Still we find a place in everything
Dm C Em7
It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me
Am
Half of me is dead, already gone
Em
And half is screaming everyone is wrong
Dm G
I'm finally asking now will you

Now you've brought me death And it's everything I wanted
