[Intro]
Em
[Verse 1]
EmAgain thCe burden of losing Emrests upon mCy shoulders
EmAnd its Cweight seems EmunbearableC  
EmYour tomb is Cwhere your heart is,
EmI should haCve told her
EmBut within me Chid a secret so Emterrible
[Pre-Chorus]
To Amcry is to know that you're aEmlive
But my Amriver of tears has run Emdry
I Amnever wanted to Emfool you, no
But a Dcold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by Clove
[Chorus]
CIf I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to EmtakDe
CIf I wake before I Ddie,
Rescue me with your Emsmile D(darlin')
CIf I should die before I wake
There ain't no one my soul to EmtakDe
CIf I wake before I Ddie,
Rescue me with your Emsmile
[Verse 2]
EmThe kiss of Cvanity blessed me wEmith a spirituaCl murder
EmAnd fed the Cgods of war EminsatiablCe
EmYour home is Cwhere the dark is
EmI should have Ctold her
EmEmbrace the Cfire indesEmtructible
[Pre-Chorus]
AmTo die is to know that you're Emalive
But my Amriver of blood won't run Emdry
I Amnever wanted to Emlose you, no
But a Dcold heart is a dead heart
And it feels like I've been buried alive by Clove
[Chorus]
CIf I should die before I wake
Pray no one my soul to EmtakDe
CIf I wake before I Ddie,
Rescue me with your Emsmile D(darlin')
CIf I should die before I wake
There ain't no one my soul to EmtakDe
CIf I wake before I Ddie,
Rescue me with your Emsmile
