A
There's a hole in my head
G#
I won't make it to twenty-five
A
He's at the foot of my bed
G#
I'm happy just to be alive
A
And he said Ha-ha-ha-how...
G#
Ha-ha-ha-how are you?
A
I said I won't see twenty-five
G#
But I'm here for twenty-two
A
There's a hole in my chest
G#
Big enough to fill the sea
A
I fake a smile to myself
G#
Wishin' I could fall asleep
A
And he said Ha-ha-ha-how...
G#
Ha-ha-ha-how are you?
A
I said I won't see twenty-five
G#
So I'm gonna see you soon
A G#
Real soon
A G#
