C                          Am
 I lie awake at night, dreaming of a time
                             Em
Where I could say the pain was worth it
                 G
That I didn't deserve to be treated so unkind
C                         Am
 You saw me crying on the fire escape
                                            Em
I locked your eyes, looked like your face was frozen
                      G
Like you didn't even notice me dying


[Pre-Chorus]
C                               Am
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
             Em*
I'd risk my life for you
                 G*
I'd twist that knife for you


[Chorus]
          C
Love is death, love is dying
             Am
With every breath, cells dividing
             Em
I'm dying for you
               G
I'm dying for you
          C
Love is steel, a silver lining
            Am
With every tear multiplying
              Em
I'm crying for you
                     G
Yeah, I'm dying for you


[Verse 2]
C
 Blood sacrifices made
    Am                                      Em
It's everything it takes for me to keep from screaming
                       G
Like a rabbit out my sleeve, it's a miracle I'm still breathing
C                                    Am
 But I have no choice, it's like my voice is in a box
                                  Em
That's buried leagues and leagues below me
                      G
With only fishes for company


[Pre-Chorus]
C                               Am
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
            Em*
I'd take my life for you
                 G*
I'd twist that knife for you


[Chorus]
         C
Love is death, love is dying
             Am
With every breath, cells dividing
             Em
I'm dying for you
               G
I'm dying for you
          C
Love is steel, a silver lining
            Am
With every tear multiplying
              Em
I'm crying for you
                     G
Yeah, I'm dying for you
                    N.C.
Yeah, I'm dying for you


[Interlude]
C*  Em*


[Bridge]
             G
I'd give my life for you
            C
Twist that knife for you
     Am            Em*
It's all, all for you


[Chorus]
         C
Love is death, love is dying
            Am
With every breath, cells dividing
             Em
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
               G
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
          C
Love is steel, a silver lining
            Am
With every tear multiplying
              Em
I'm crying for you (I'm crying for you)
                     G
Yeah, I'm dying for you


[Outro]
                   C      Am     Em
Can't you see I'm dying, dying?
    G
Oh yeah


C  Am  Em  G
C* Am* Em* G*
