[Intro]
A
[Verse]
It turns out cigAarettes can kill you, 'cause when you diC#dn't come back
every tiDme that I thought of you, I sEmoked a whole pack
I was up Ato about seventeen packs a day, I was reC#fueling too
about everDy hour or so, I drank Ea bottle of white mE7ule
I wasn't tAhinking about turquoise, I wasn't tC#hinking about gold
I wasn't tDhinking about thinking, or aEbout getting oE7ld
got to bAe so I didn't care if I was C#leaving or loving
oh, wDhat I was and whaEt I was becomingE7  
[Chorus]
I don't want to Adie in your arms
I just wA7annna diF#m6eD  
don't want to dAie in you arms
I just wA7ant to dF#m6ieD  
[Verse]
And, like a mariAonette doll, on C#man by a fool
I went iDn, to the chicken shed, started Elooking for tools
Well I wAent for a month, filled some sC#ky and some clouds
And I builDt myself some angels, with Etrumpets so E7loud
Well they Aplayed hallelujah, and I knew I was C#done
I walked tDhrough a golden gate with pearl inlays, saw a Enever setting E7sun
Well I kAnew I was dead, I couldn't C#do no more harm
Well DI built myself a heaven, where you Edied in my E7arms
[Chorus]
I don't want to Adie in your arms
I just wA7annna diF#m6eD  
don't want to dAie in you arms
I just wA7ant to dF#m6ieD
