Dying For You
View chords used in this chart
F Dm
Ever since I can remember, I've felt it in my bones
Am Em
A tragic destiny was reserved for me all on my own
F Dm
But, oh, I didn't know why, oh, no, no, I didn't know
Am Em
But then I saw your face and realised I was dying for you
F Dm
'Cause you're a gun to my head, and you're a wound in my chest
Am
Yeah, you're my favourite jewellery
Em
Worn just like a noose 'round my neck
F Dm
I'm losing gallons of blood, the river's turning to red
Am Em
I got a smile on my face, I bleed even more
F Dm
All the pain and torture that I went through
Am Dm
All makes sense to me now, I was dying for you
F G
I was dying for you, I was dying for you
Am G/B
Even right at the end, I'll keep dying for you
F Dm
All the pain and torture that I went through
Am Em
All makes sense to me now, I was dying for you
F G
I was dying for you, I was dying for you
Am G/B
I'll keep dying for you, I'll keep dying for you
Ever since I can remember, I'd set myself on fire
And lay down in the road, and wait
To feel the weight of the tires
F Dm
But, oh, I didn't know why, oh, no, no, I didn't know
Am Em
But then I kissed your lips and realised I was dying for you
F Dm
'Cause you're the poison I drink, I drink you twice to be sure
Am Em
And then I find the highest building, just to fall on my sword
F Dm
I'm losing gallons of blood, the river's turning to red
Am Em
I got a smile on my face, I bleed even more
F Dm
All the pain and torture that I went through
Am Dm
All makes sense to me now, I was dying for you
F G
I was dying for you, I was dying for you
Am G/B
Even right at the end, I'll keep dying for you
F Dm
All the pain and torture that I went through
Am Em
All makes sense to me now, I was dying for you
F G
I was dying for you, I was dying for you
Am G/B
I'll keep dying for you, I'll keep dying for you
F Dm Am Em
Dying, dying, dying, for you, for you, for you
F Dm Am G/B
Dying, dying, dying, for you, for you, for you
F Dm Am Em
Dying, dying, dying, for you, for you, for you
F Dm Am G/B
Dying, dying, dying, for you, for you, for you
F Dm Am Em
Dying, dying, dying, for you, for you, for you

Dying, dying, dying, for you, for you, for you
