Lived And Died Alone
View chords used in this chart
A F#m
Love never came easily to me
A F#m
There were no fish swimming in my sea
D A
I resided myself to the fact
E F#m B
That I would always love never to be loved back
Bm D E
But that's okay, I know some day
D A
When the sun has set, I will go dig up the dead
E
Lift their bodies from their graves
A
And I'll lay them in my bed
D A
To fill their hollow hearts with all my broken parts
E Dbm F#m
And all the love they were never shown
D E A
To all those who have lived and died alone
A F#m
I guess I thought it couldn't really hurt
A F#m
To search for sweethearts underneath the dirt
D A
Sure, they may be made of dust and bone
D E F#m
But I will take them home from their lonely tombstone
D E
To be with me in the Dead Sea
D A
When the sun has set, I will go dig up the dead
E
Lift their bodies from their graves
A
And I'll lay them in my bed
D A
To fill their hollow hearts with all my broken parts
E F#m
And all the love they were never shown
D E D
To all those who have lived and died alone
