[Intro]
C Am G Dm F C G
[Verse 1]
CIs she still breathing
AmAnd does she see where I Gstand
Does she Dmeven know it's Fme holding her ChandG  
CAnd can she hear me
AmDoes she know my voice because I'm Gscreaming
I'm the Dmreason toFnight she's not CbreathingG  
CIt wasn't an hour
AmAgo she looked in my Geyes
Who would've Dmthought by now we'd Fbe here at this CtimeG  
CMy hands are shaking
AmHer's are still and Gfreezing
And the Dmsound of all the Fsilence slowly CcreepingG  
[Chorus]
AmAnd if you don't Dmmind I'd like to Fdie too next to CyouG  
AmA shot of Dmmorphine mixed with some Fpoison will CdoG

AmWhen the music from Dmmachines is Fover we are CtooG

CJust lay me down
AmAnd rest this sheet over my Gbody
And could you Dmmake sure that it Fhappens quicCklyG  
CAnd when I go
AmCould you be sure to rest me Gnear her
So toDmgether we could Fbe rotting CcorpsGe
CDon't forget to call
AmMy mom and pa 'cause they will Gworry
Tell them I Dmloved her and it Fwas my CdutyG  
CThen they will cry
AmThen realize they'd've done the Gsame
If this been a Dmday later our Fstones would have shared a CnameG  
[Chorus]
AmAnd if you don't Dmmind I'd like to Fdie too next to CyouG  
AmA shot of Dmmorphine mixed with some Fpoison will CdoG  
AmAnd we could Dmdance together Finside this hollow CrooGm
AmWhen the music from Dmmachines is Fover we are CtooG

Chords in this song · guitar

[Intro]

C Am G Dm F C G

[Verse 1]

Is she still breathing

Am G

And does she see where I stand

Dm F C G

Does she even know it's me holding her hand

And can she hear me

Am G

Does she know my voice because I'm screaming

Dm F C G

I'm the reason tonight she's not breathing

It wasn't an hour

Am G

Ago she looked in my eyes

Dm F C G

Who would've thought by now we'd be here at this time

My hands are shaking

Am G

Her's are still and freezing

Dm F C G

And the sound of all the silence slowly creeping

[Chorus]

Am Dm F C G

And if you don't mind I'd like to die too next to you

Am Dm F C G

A shot of morphine mixed with some poison will do

Am Dm F C G

And we could dance together inside this hollow room

Am Dm F C G

When the music from machines is over we are too

[Interlude]

C Am G Dm F C G

[Verse 2]

Just lay me down

Am G

And rest this sheet over my body

Dm F C G

And could you make sure that it happens quickly

And when I go

Am G

Could you be sure to rest me near her

Dm F C G

So together we could be rotting corpse

Don't forget to call

Am G

My mom and pa 'cause they will worry

Dm F C G

Tell them I loved her and it was my duty

Then they will cry

Am G

Then realize they'd've done the same

Dm F C G

If this been a day later our stones would have shared a name

[Chorus]

Am Dm F C G

And if you don't mind I'd like to die too next to you

Am Dm F C G

A shot of morphine mixed with some poison will do

Am Dm F C G

And we could dance together inside this hollow room

Am Dm F C G

When the music from machines is over we are too

Ending

C Am G Dm F C G C
