E Esus C#m A

It's about time that you got sick of me

E Esus C#m A

No longer fun, and so far from interesting

E Esus C#m A

I thought that I found me a cure for feeling old

E Esus C#m B

Just one more line to keep me sleeping loudly and cold

In disgraced with a shameful regret

As I talk in tongues to myself in my bed

Can't say I blame you one bit when you kept it all inside

When you left that night

Somehow we lost our heads for the last time

[Outro]

E Esus E G# A

And I don't dream since I quit sleeping

E Esus E G# A

And I haven't slept since I met you

E Esus E G# A

And you can't breathe without coughing at daytime

And neither can I

A B

-------- N.C.

So what do you say?

(let ring)

Your coffin, or mine?
