D-DU-UDU
(I find screaming, 'FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME' won't win you many friends, so
we can miss that bit out if you wan't)
Do you remember back there
When we met?
You told me this gets harder
Well it did
Been holding on forever
Promise me that when I'm gone
You'll kill my enemies
The damage you've inflicted
Temporary wounds
I'm coming back from the dead
And I'll take you home with me
(mute and strum :)
E7 F E7 x x x x x F
I'm taking back the life you stole
We never got that far
This helps me to think
All through the night
Bright lights that won't kill me now
Or tell me how
Just you and I
Your starless eyes remain
Hip hip hooray for me
You talk to me
But would you kill me in my sleep?
Lay still like the dead
From the razor to the rosary
We could lose ourselves
And paint these walls in pitchfork red
I will avenge my ghost
With every breath i take
I'm coming back from the dead
And I'll take you home with me
E7 F E7 x x x x x F
I'm taking back the life you stole
F
This hole you put me in
(-2-0-4-2-1-0-?) You'll need to use your thumb for this
one, and I know i've written Fm but
it sounds really shit if you do. find
E7 works okay instead, but it's not
Fm the same)
Wasn't deep enough
And I'm climbing out right now
You're running out of places
To hide from me
When you go
Just know that I will remember you
If living was the hardest part
We'll then one day
Be together
And in the end we'll fall apart
Just like the leaves
Change in colours
And then I will be with you
I will be there one last time now
When you go
Just know that I will remember you
(It goes on in a similar vein...)
I've lost my fear of falling
I will be with you
I will be with you
Maybe not their seminal work but a lovely piece of pop-punk-emo melodrama.
