Cm
I've been wasting away
Cm
Like the Christ on the cross
Ab
And I can take no more
Cm
Was I too dumb to give up
Cm
Or too proud to give in
Ab
Don't even care no more
[Pre-Chorus]
Bb
But I'm not here to raise the dead
Cm
Hang myself in every word that you said
Ab
I'm not here to share your bed
[Verse 2]
Cm
There are things to forgive
Cm
There are things to forget
Ab
There are things I regret
Cm
And all the things that I did
Cm
All the things that I said
Ab
Are better left for dead
[Pre-chorus]
Bb
And I'm not here to raise the dead
Cm
Hang myself in every word that was said
Ab
If you want I'll take the blame
Bb
'Cause dreams get buried everyday
[Chorus]
Cm Bb
Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded
Gm Ab
So why should we try to hold on
Cm Bb
We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded
Gm Ab
So say what you will, say what you will for
[Post-Chorus]
Cm F
I cannot raise the dead, no
Cm Ab Bb
I cannot raise the dead
Cm F
I cannot raise the dead, no
Cm Ab Bb
I cannot raise the dead
[Verse 3]
Cm
In a time before us
Cm
We were both someone else
Ab
And we can be again
Cm
We both let wrong one in
Cm
To keep the right one out
Ab
And now we're both without
[Pre-chorus]
Bb
So let's not try to raise the dead
Cm
Hang ourselves in all the words that were said long ago
Bb
If you want I'll take the blame
Ab
For dreams get buried everyday
[Chorus]
Cm Bb
Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded
Gm Ab
So why should we try to hold on
Cm Bb
We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded
Gm Ab
So say what you will, say what you will for
[Post-Chorus]
Cm F
I cannot raise the dead, no
Cm Ab Bb
I cannot raise the dead
Cm F
I cannot raise the dead, no
Cm Ab Bb
I cannot raise the dead
[Chorus]
Cm Bb
Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded
Gm Ab
So why should we try to hold on
Cm Bb
We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded
Gm Ab
So say what you will, say what you will for
Cm Bb
There is rose on our grave and the colours have faded
Gm Ab
So why should we try to hold on
Cm Bb
We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded
Gm Ab
So say what you will, say what you will for
[Post-Chorus]
Cm F
I cannot raise the dead, no
Cm Ab Bb
I cannot raise the dead
Cm F
I cannot raise the dead, no
Cm Ab Bb
I cannot raise the dead
