[Verse 1] (Fast)
C G Am
She climbed onto the iron balustrade
C G Am
And balanced on the edge
C G Am
She stared into the endless deep
C G Am
Got ready for her final act
[Verse 2] (Slow)
F C
Whatever harmed or hurt you, honey
G Am
The drunk Welshman said
F C
It's never worth to give in darling
G E7
Come on, let's have a drink instead
[Chorus] (Fast)
Cause,
C G Am
there's nothing cool about dying
C G Am
There's nothing cool in saying goodbye
C G Am
There's nothing cool about dying
C G Am
There's nothing cool in saying goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
C G Am Am
C G Am Am
[Verse 3] (Fast)
C G Am
Her body shivered from the cold
C G Am
A gale was blowing through her hair
C G Am
She smiled and stood straight as a pole
C G Am
And raised her arms into the air
[Verse 4] (Slow)
F C
Death shall have no dominion, honey
G Am
The drunk Welshman said
F C
And on our path into oblivion
G E7
These wise words shall be spread
[Chorus] (Fast)
Cause,
C G Am
there's nothing cool about dying
C G Am
There's nothing cool in saying goodbye
C G Am
There's nothing cool about dying
C G Am
There's nothing cool in saying goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
C G Am Am
C G Am Am
[Bridge] (Slow)
Dm A/C#
Take your life by the hand
Dm A/C#
No, don't waste your time
Dm A/C#
Take your life by the hand
Dm A/C#
Don't wait for the promised land
[Chorus] (Fast)
Cause,
C G Am
there's nothing cool about dying
C G Am
There's nothing cool in saying goodbye
C G Am
There's nothing cool about dying
C G Am
There's nothing cool in saying goodbye
[Post-Chorus]
C G Am Am
C G Am Am
[Instrumental]
C G Am Am

[Verse 5] (Slow)
F C
I never meant to jump down, honey
G Am
The young girl pacified
F C G Am
I wanted to remember how good it feels to be alive
