[Verse 1]
EmCan we make a pact
D/EIf one of us dies, then other one will too
CCause I can't stand living in this world without you
EmLove is worth the risk
D/EWithout you my life would be worthless
CI'd follow you into the abyss
[Chorus]
CWhen you leave this Earth, there'll be Ga hole in the D/Eplace where
CMy heart used to beat, it will Gbe D/Eempty
CHow the fuck am I Gsupposed to care
EmAbout what's happening D/Eout there?
CHow the hell am I Gsupposed to get Emused to all this D/Edeath?
[Verse 2]
EmI wish I could forget
D/EBut no matter what I know how it ends
CI swear I'll start drinking again
EmI wish I could pretend
That we'll D/Ehold each other close in heaven
CBut I lost my faith when I was seven
[Chorus]
CWhen you leave this Earth, there'll be a Ghole in the D/Eplace where
My Cheart used to beat, it will Gbe D/Eempty
CHow the fuck am I Gsupposed to care
EmAbout what's happening D/Eout there?
CHow the hell am I Gsupposed to get Emused to all this D/Edeath?
[Bridge]
COh, the walls we build to Emkeep our hearts from crumbling
CI am not afraid of death
EmI am afraid of being left Calone D/Eagain
[Chorus]
CWhen you leave this Earth, there'll be a Ghole in the D/Eplace where
My Cheart used to beat, it will Gbe D/Eempty
CHow the fuck am I Gsupposed to care
EmAbout what's happening D/Eout there?
CHow the hell am I Gsupposed to get Emused to all this D/Edeath?
