[Intro]
A

[Verse]
                A                                       C#
It turns out cigarettes can kill you, 'cause when you didn't come back
        D                            E
every time that I thought of you, I smoked a whole pack
        A                                        C#
I was up to about seventeen packs a day, I was refueling too
          D                     E                  E7
about every hour or so, I drank a bottle of white mule
          A                                  C#
I wasn't thinking about turquoise, I wasn't thinking about gold
          D                           E             E7
I wasn't thinking about thinking, or about getting old
        A                          C#
got to be so I didn't care if I was leaving or loving
     D                E                 E7
oh, what I was and what I was becoming


[Chorus]
                A
I don't want to die in your arms
        A7      F#m6    D
I just wannna die
               A
don't want to die in you arms
        A7      F#m6    D
I just want to die


[Verse]
                A               C#
And, like a marionette doll, on man by a fool
        D                               E
I went in, to the chicken shed, started looking for tools
        A                             C#
Well I went for a month, filled some sky and some clouds
          D                          E           E7
And I built myself some angels, with trumpets so loud
          A                                   C#
Well they played hallelujah, and I knew I was done
          D                                            E              E7
I walked through a golden gate with pearl inlays, saw a never setting sun
        A                          C#
Well I knew I was dead, I couldn't do no more harm
     D                                 E           E7
Well I built myself a heaven, where you died in my arms


[Chorus]
                A
I don't want to die in your arms
        A7      F#m6    D
I just wannna die
               A
don't want to die in you arms
        A7      F#m6    D
I just want to die
