D
I leave the gas on, walk the alleys in the dark
Bm
sleep with candles burning, I leave the door unlocked
G Em
I'm weaving a rope and, running all the red lights
A
did I get your attention cause I'm sending all the signs (that)
D
the clock is ticking, and I'll be giving my two weeks pick
Bm
your favorite shade of black, you best prepare a speech
G Em
say something funny, say something sweet
A
but don't say that you loved me
[Chorus]

Cause I'm still breathing
Bm
And we've been dead for a while
G
this sickness has no cure
Em
we're going down for sure
A
already lost a grip
best abandoned ship

Maybe I was too pale, Maybe I was too fat

Maybe you wanted better, better luck in the sack
G
No formal education
Em
I swear way too much
A
I swear you didn't care

'Cause we were in love
D
So as I write this letter and shed my last tear

No, it's all for the better

That we end this here

Let's close this chapter

Say one last prayer

But don't say that you loved me

This sickness has no cure

Oh we've been diagnosed

So let's give up the ghost

But we've been dead for awhile

We're goin' down for sure

Already lost a grip

Best abandon ship
