[Intro]
 G   Bm   C   D(x2)
[Verse]
It's kind of aGwkward to admit that I've been lBmess than forthright
When I impClied that I was ready to dDie
Because my cGonscience weighs so heavy on my sBmhoulders and mind -
I'm coming cClean my friends, I told you a lDie
[Chorus]
In fact, the trGuth is I've only uBmsed this
To undersCtand why we're all hDere
It's time to dGismiss it might be CBmhristmas
That's just riCdiculous from what I can hearD  
[Verse]
Because the fGact is I've been waiting for my lBmove to return -
They locked him Cup for crimes he didn't commDit
And all I wGanted was to keep myself alBmive to the end
So I could hCave a chance to see him agDain
And so I lGed your sorry soul off to your dBmeath in the woods
And I deCprived you of a chance to pretenDd
That this apGocalypse was more than just us rBmeaching the end
Of every sCtory, every conflict withstoodD  
[Chorus]
In fact, the trGuth is I've only uBmsed this
To undersCtand why we're all hDere
It's time to dGismiss it might be CBmhristmas
That's just riCdiculous from what I can hearD  
[Interlude]
 G   Bm   C   D(x2)
[Outro]
GHe said his goodbyes, it's my turn to cry -
BmWhere is my comfort? I've run out of time
To wConder when I will se my love again
DNow that it's over, we've come to the end
I've got nGothing to say, I've got nothing to beg
For, BmI've got no reason at all to pretend
AnymCore that it's fine that we're dead - Hear that friends?
You're aDll I've got left so just listen again
GHe said his goodbyes, it's my turn to cry -
BmWhere is my comfort? I've run out of time
To wConder when I will se my love again
DNow that it's over, we've come to the end
I've got nGothing to say, I've got nothing to beg
For, BmI've got no reason at all to pretend
AnymCore that it's fine that we're dead - Hear that friends?
DGuess I might as wCell crumple B5up, A5now that I am dGead

[Intro]

G Bm C D

(x2)

[Verse]

G Bm

It's kind of awkward to admit that I've been less than forthright

C D

When I implied that I was ready to die

G Bm

Because my conscience weighs so heavy on my shoulders and mind -

C D

I'm coming clean my friends, I told you a lie

[Chorus]

G Bm

In fact, the truth is I've only used this

C D

To understand why we're all here

G Bm

It's time to dismiss it might be Christmas

C D

That's just ridiculous from what I can hear

[Verse]

G Bm

Because the fact is I've been waiting for my love to return -

C D

They locked him up for crimes he didn't commit

G Bm

And all I wanted was to keep myself alive to the end

C D

So I could have a chance to see him again

G Bm

And so I led your sorry soul off to your death in the woods

C D

And I deprived you of a chance to pretend

G Bm

That this apocalypse was more than just us reaching the end

C D

Of every story, every conflict withstood

[Chorus]

G Bm

In fact, the truth is I've only used this

C D

To understand why we're all here

G Bm

It's time to dismiss it might be Christmas

C D

That's just ridiculous from what I can hear

[Interlude]

G Bm C D

(x2)

[Outro]

He said his goodbyes, it's my turn to cry -

Where is my comfort? I've run out of time

To wonder when I will se my love again

Now that it's over, we've come to the end

I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to beg

For, I've got no reason at all to pretend

Anymore that it's fine that we're dead - Hear that friends?

You're all I've got left so just listen again

He said his goodbyes, it's my turn to cry -

Where is my comfort? I've run out of time

To wonder when I will se my love again

Now that it's over, we've come to the end

I've got nothing to say, I've got nothing to beg

For, I've got no reason at all to pretend

Anymore that it's fine that we're dead - Hear that friends?

D C B5 A5 G

Guess I might as well crumple up, now that I am dead
