Intro x2


Verse
C#m A B
i've got a dying urge to feel the way you do
C#m
too close for comfort
A B
bed and breakfast in a spoon
C#m A
the shortest breath of your young life
B
a long walk home on friday night
A E B
you made one last stop at the store

C#m A B
so close to perfect swear to hell thought it was you
C#m A B
this bouncing baby boy's now turning baby blue
C#m A
i've got your pictures on my walls
E B
i've got a long list of calls i must make

to your existing family


Chorus
A E B
you had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
A E B
your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
A E B
this won't take long you said i'm not going far
Abm/E Abm A
go wait in the car
B
go wait in the car


Intro x2


Verse
C#m A B
i often wonder what it feels like to be you
C#m A B
a mess like this stuck on your hands with krazy glue
C#m A
ran outta time no kiss goodbye
E B
wish i could learn to let this sleeping dog die

without lying to myself


Chorus
A E B
you had nine lives and one by one you chewed 'em up
A E B
your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
A E B
this won't take long you said i'm not going far
Abm/E Abm A
go wait in the car
B
go wait in the car
