Tom: F
Intro: F Dm Bb Gm7 C
F
I leave the gas on, walk the alleys in the dark
Dm7
Sleep with candles burning, I leave the door unlocked
Bb Gm7
I'm weaving a rope and, running all the red lights
C
Did I get your attention? 'Cause I'm sending all the signs that...
F
The clock is ticking, and I'll be giving my two weeks, pick
Dm7
Your favourite shade of black, you'd best prepare a speech
Bb Gm7
Say something funny, say something sweet
C
But don't say that you loved me
Chorus
F
'Cause I'm still breathing
Dm
But we've been dead for awhile
Bb Gm7
This sickness has no cure, we're going down for sure
C
Already lost a grip, on this abandoned ship
F Dm Bb Gm C
Oh...
Verse 2 (Same as verse 1)
Maybe I was too pale, maybe I was too fat
Maybe you had better, better luck in the sack
No formal education, And I swore way too much
But I swear you didn't care
'Cause we were in love
So as I write this letter, and shed my last tear
It's all for the better, that we end this year
Let's close this chapter, say one last prayer
But don't say that you loved me
Chorus
F
'Cause I'm still breathing
Dm
But we've been dead for awhile
Bb Gm7
This sickness has no cure, we're going down for sure
C
Already been diagnosed, so let's give up the ghost
F
'Cause I'm still breathing
Dm
But we've been dead for awhile
Bb Gm7
This sickness has no cure, we're going down for sure
C
Already lost a grip, on this abandoned ship
F Dm
Oh... Yeah Yeah Yeah...
Bb Gm
Oh I'm still breathing I'm still breathing
C
Oh...
