Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
It  takes a long time to kill a man
 Fifty-five years at least
 Until he breaks down
 Starts to look underground
 To go off, and get him some peace
 I want to die a lot quicker then that
 If that’s my only way out
 I’ve been counting up the coast
 Getting up on that cross
 I want to know what this is all about
 Father Time  steals our days  like a thief
 There’s no price  that I wouldn’t pay  to get some relief
 I’ve become  the empty shell
 Of a man  I don’t like so well
 I am a living,  breathing hell
 Come on and resurrect me
I  tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine
 It didn’t seem to help
 She’s got a pretty face with her wedding lace
 But I’m still waking up with myself
I  know what it means to choke it down
 Down until your legs get weak
 I know what it’s like on Saturday night
 To be alone in a crowded street
 Resurrect me
 Resurrect me
 Resurrect me
 Resurrect me
 Resurrect me
 Resurrect me
 Come on and resurrect me

[E5]

[E5]It takes a long time to kill a man

Fifty-five years at least

Until he breaks down

Starts to look underground
To go off, and get him some [A5]peace

I want to die a lot quicker then that

If that’s my only way out

I’ve been counting up the coast

Getting up on that cross

I want to know what this is all about

Father [B5]Time steals our [A5]days like a [E5]thief
There’s no [B5]price that I wouldn’t [A5]pay to get some [E5]relief
I’ve [C#m7]become the empty [A5]shell
Of a [B5]man I don’t like so [A5]well
I am a [B5]living, breathing [A5]hell
Come on and resurrect [E5]me

[E5]I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine

It didn’t seem to help

She’s got a pretty face with her wedding lace
But I’m still waking up with [A5]myself
[E5]I know what it means to choke it down

Down until your legs get weak

I know what it’s like on Saturday night

To be alone in a crowded street

Resurrect [B5]me [A5]
Resurrect [E5]me
Resurrect [B5]me [A5]
Resurrect [E5]me
Resurrect [C#m7]me
Resurrect [A5]me
Come on and resurrect [E5]me

[E5]
