Tom: C
F C G Am
[Verse 1]
F
You keep telling me that we can fix this
Am
But we can't, the scalpel in your hand
C
Is only gonna cut me again
G
And I don't wanna take that chance
F
Some things, they just don't last
Am
You can't get a prescription for that
C
Quit shoving these sugar pills down my throat
G
Cause I'm starting to choke
[Prechorus]
F
Stop, don't resuscitate
Am
Please don't, don't hesitate
C
Just let it die, we've had our time
G
We'll be alright
[Chorus]
F
But then you give me ten CC's
Of something super sweet
Am
Yeah, you put me to sleep
I'm getting drowsy
C
My eyelids are getting heavy
Kiss me on the cheek
G
Then you're telling me
Countdown from ten
F
Ten, nine, eight
Dm
Seven, six
Am
Five-four-three-two, one
C
When you rip my heart out
G
Please put it back when you're done
I'm too young
F Dm
For this open-heart surgery
F Am
There's stuffing in the place
Where my heart's meant to be
D G
Why me?
[Verse 2]
F
You keep telling me
That we'll get past this
Dm Am
But we're never gonna last
C
So just quit blasting me
With your electrotherapy
G
And let's move past this
F Dm
These things, they come alive in a flash
Am
Sometimes, they die just as fast
C
Didn't Frankenstein teach you anything?
G Am
Don't revive dead things
[Pre-chorus]
F
Stop, don't resuscitate
Am
Please don't, don't hesitate
C
Just let it die, we've had our time
G
We'll be alright
[Chorus]
F
But then you give me ten CC's
Of something super sweet
Am
Yeah, you put me to sleep
I'm getting drowsy
C
My eyelids are getting heavy
Kiss me on the cheek
G
Then you're telling me
F
Countdown from ten
Ten, nine, eight
Seven, six
Am
Five-four-three-two, one
C
When you rip my heart out
G
Please put it back when you're done
I'm too young
F
For this open-heart surgery
Am
There's stuffing in the place
Where my heart's meant to be
C G F
Why me?
[Bridge]
Dm Am
Now I'm coming down from my high
C G
And something just doesn't feel right
F Dm
Yeah, the anaesthetic's wearing off
Am
And I'm starting to feel what I've lost
C G
There's stuffing in the place where my heart was
[Chorus]
F
But then you give me ten CC's
Of something super sweet
Am
Yeah, you put me to sleep
I'm getting drowsy
C
My eyelids are getting heavy
Kiss me on the cheek
G
Then you're telling me
F
Countdown from ten
Ten, nine, eight
Seven, six
Am
Five-four-three-two, one
C
When you rip my heart out
G
Please put it back when you're done
I'm too young
F
For this open-heart surgery
Am
There's stuffing in the place
Where my heart's meant to be
C G F
Why me?
