Live This Nightmare - The Griswolds
Be Impressive (2014)
Note: Since the synths are so low/distorted, for the Gm7 chords it doesn't make a huge
difference whether you play a Bb or Gm so Gm7 works best to include both (or Bb/G)
[Intro]
BbDmCG
    G-Am-Bb (2x)
                Gm7

[Pre-Chorus]
    Gm7                              Dm

                                (G-Am-)
She said that she's gonna be okay
    Bb                                  Dm
She called as if there was nothing wrong
 C
Okay, okay, okay
[Chorus]

                                (G-Am-)
She asked if we're gonna be okay

I can't just keep you holding on
Gm
Carrie, quite contrary 
  Bb
I know you're feeling buried
   F                       C
So how's your garden gonna grow?
[Chorus]
        Gm              Bb
I won't lie to keep you here
              Dm
I could never be that cold, my dear
              F
Cause I can't live this nightmare
             C
And I won't live this nightmare
       Gm                 Bb
If you cry for me, my dear
              Dm
Drowning in a pool of wasted tears
              F
Cause I can't live this nightmare
            C
And I won't live this nightmare
        Gm    Dm   F    C
I won't lie
