I heard your Dheart's about the sGize of your fist 
But tAhat's not true, it's Gjust a myth 
It's your bDrain that's small 
It's your hGeart that's big 
And I Asaw it G  
In an eDxhibit, baby 
In the prGomised land 
Where your bAig blue eyes 
And your artGist’s hands 
Were with your smDall intestines 
And your croGoked grin 
On the taAble G  
D,  Bm   A   G   D   Bm   A   G  
DOh me, oh myBm! 
Never ever thought that AI 
Would see the day you'd sacriGfice 
The things that made you feel aGlive 
Now you are my zombie Bmbride- 
With zombie hair and zombie eAyes 
And zombie hips and zombie liGps 
That I can't bring myself to kiDss 
I hate this, don't you mBmove to New York 
You'll jumAp off of the bridge again 
And I wGill never see you 
DOh me, oh mBmy 
You're not much different 
When alAive 
You never compromised 
GNo, you couldn't empathize 
And nGow that you're so dead and all 
It aBmll just feels so literal 
So Ayou can really have my brain 
YGou can really have my heart: it's yDours 
If you wBmant it 
YoAurs, 
If you waGnt it 
DI hate this, don't you moBmve to New York 
You'll juAmp off of the bridge again 
And GI will never Bmsee yDou 
DI take it that we're moBmving too slowly 
Got a Alittle bit lucky last niGght 
DYou are a beautiful 
BmInhuman being 
I Afollow your un-life 
From beGhind my screen 
And I tDry to believe it 
But I cBman't deny 
Even the dAead don't sleep alone 
(c’mon) sGhow me the tissue of your boDnes 
And your hands and your Bmfeet 
And the people that you meAet 
And the places that you eGat 
And how you act in front of mDe 
And the way you wear your haBmir 
I swear, I think I underAstand 
The things that make me who I aGm 
And there's no master plan 
I'd knDow 
Oh me, oh mBmy! 
Now I'm on the other sAide of the world 
There are so manGy zombie boys and girls with emDpty chests and hollow eyes 
NBmo, I can't help what I like you loAok my way 
I start to sigh 
Who caGres if you are dead inside? 
I dDon't.    Bm  A

(you say) I Ghate this, don't you mBmove to New York 
You'll jAump off of that bridge again 
With alGl your brand new un-dead friends and yDou won't talk to me 
But you'll wrBmite me into songs and Dmaybe I don't want you here 
But GI don't want you gone!

**Note they play it with power chords**

D G

I heard your heart's about the size of your fist

A G

But that's not true, it's just a myth

It's your brain that's small

It's your heart that's big

A G

And I saw it

In an exhibit, baby

In the promised land

Where your big blue eyes

And your artist’s hands

Were with your small intestines

And your crooked grin

A G

On the table

Bm A G D Bm A G

D Bm

Oh me, oh my!

Never ever thought that I

Would see the day you'd sacrifice

The things that made you feel alive

Now you are my zombie bride-

With zombie hair and zombie eyes

And zombie hips and zombie lips

That I can't bring myself to kiss

I hate this, don't you move to New York

You'll jump off of the bridge again

And I will never see you

D Bm

Oh me, oh my

You're not much different

When alive

You never compromised

No, you couldn't empathize

And now that you're so dead and all

It all just feels so literal

So you can really have my brain

G D

You can really have my heart: it's yours

If you want it

Yours,

If you want it

D Bm

I hate this, don't you move to New York

You'll jump off of the bridge again

G Bm D

And I will never see you

D Bm

I take it that we're moving too slowly

A G

Got a little bit lucky last night

You are a beautiful

Inhuman being

I follow your un-life

From behind my screen

And I try to believe it

But I can't deny

Even the dead don't sleep alone

G D

(c’mon) show me the tissue of your bones

And your hands and your feet

And the people that you meet

And the places that you eat

And how you act in front of me

And the way you wear your hair

I swear, I think I understand

The things that make me who I am

And there's no master plan

I'd know

Oh me, oh my!

Now I'm on the other side of the world

G D

There are so many zombie boys and girls with empty chests and hollow eyes

Bm A

No, I can't help what I like you look my way

I start to sigh

Who cares if you are dead inside?

D Bm A

I don't.

G D Bm A G

Doesn't mean that you can't love

G Bm

(you say) I hate this, don't you move to New York

You'll jump off of that bridge again

G D

With all your brand new un-dead friends and you won't talk to me

Bm D

But you'll write me into songs and maybe I don't want you here

But I don't want you gone!

D Bm A

Besides I'm trying (and I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying)

G D Bm A

I've been... trying (I've been trying I've been trying I've been trying I've been trying

I've been trying I've been trying) to live
