B
[Verse 1]
B G#m
oh the night is bitter
G#m E
the stars have lost their glitter
E
and every day
C#m
takes you farther away
B
From the one to whom
G#m
your longing heart belongs
E
So you crawl into the songs
C#m E F#
And hope to find her there
[Chorus]
B B/Bb G#
When you want something
G# F# C#m
That you know you'll never have
E/D#
And that wanting is
E F#
what's keeping you alive
B B/Bb G#
When you lose someone
G# F# C#m
that you never really had
E/D#
and that losing feels like
E F#
what it means to die
[Verse 2]
B G#m
oh the winds grow colder
G#m E
and suddenly you're older
E
Than that little girl
C#m
Wide-eyed in a wicked world
B
Do you dare to think
G#m
the promise of your love
E
was the land that she heard of
C#m E F#
in a lullaby where the bluebirds fly
[Chorus]
B B/Bb G#
When you want something
G# F# C#m
That you know you'll never have
E/D#
And that wanting is
E F#
what's keeping you alive
B B/Bb G#
When you lose someone
G# F# C#m
that you never really had
E/D#
and that losing feels like
E F#
what it means to die
to die
[Bridge]
B5 A5 B5 F#5
to die
B5 A5 B5 F#5
to die
B5 A5 B5 F#5
to die
B5 A5
[Chorus]
B B/Bb G#
When you want something
G# F# C#m
That you know you'll never have
E/D#
And that wanting is
E F#
what's keeping you alive
B B/Bb G#
When you lose someone
G# F# C#m
that you never really had
E/D#
and that losing feels like
E F#
what it means to die
[Chorus]
B B/Bb G#
When you want something
G# F# C#m
That you know you'll never have
E/D#
And that wanting is
E F#
what's keeping you alive
B B/Bb G#
When you lose someone
G# F# C#m
that you never really had
E/D#
and that losing feels like

what it means to die
