Intro:
E C#m (x3)
E C#m A
E A C#m
We dressed up for the funeral in our nicest borrowed clothes.
A
I put on dress shoes that I stole and ran out.
E A C#m
And we made way through the roundabouts of a gray suburban town
A C#m B E
The snow was scattered on the ground and I thought
E C#m B E
Before you left did you say all you wanted to?
E C#m B E
Before you died did you do all you meant to do?
E C#m B E
Could you look it in the eyes when it came for you?
E
Tell me how it ends.
A
Cause you lived like a tightrope walker
E C#m E
While I was on a phone call somewhere else
A
When you fell I couldn’t catch you
E C#m E
I was getting drunk all by myself
B C#m A B E
And the hardest part was to show up here at all
E A C#m
As we listened to your eulogy from that priest you didn’t know
A E
I half wrote letters to your nonexistent ghost
A C#m
Hey Jazmine are you listening? I know I never return calls
A C#m B E
But if you’re there at all just tell me
E C#m B E
Before you left did you say all you wanted to?
E C#m B E
Before you died did you do all you meant to do?
E C#m B E
Could you look it in the eyes when it came for you?
E
Tell me how it ends.
A
Was it just the dope that failed you
E C#m E
Or did everyone just let you down?
A
Is there a way I could have saved you
E C#m E
If I was there would you still be around?
B C#m A B E
The hardest things just can’t be known at all
E
A
I don’t know the whole truth
E
But I know a piece was buried with you
A
I don’t know the whole truth
E
But I know a piece was buried with you
