Tom: F#m
F#m F#m E Bm
[Verse]
F#m
You said it’s not you, it’s me
F#m
With a revolver in my teeth
E
But you turned away instead
Bm
Threw the gun upon the bed
F#m
And we left in separate cars
F#m
You told me to pretend
E
I could taste life on the air
Bm
Despite the absence of an end
[Chorus]
D E
When you’re lying in your deathbed
A F#m
I hope I appear in your head
D E
Baby, I’ll be dead by then
A F#m
I burned out at 27
D E F#m
Oh you should have killed me when you had the chance
[Verse]
F#m
It lingers like a dream
F#m
It lingers like a dream
E
All my well thought-through retorts
Bm
All my last laugh movie scenes
F#m
Just one thing before I go [My love, mon beau]
F#m
One more thing before I leave [Exit, c’est chic]
E
Failed assassin, you should know [My heart still goes]
Bm
One more trick inside my sleeve
[Chrous]
D E
When you’re lying in your deathbed
A F#m
I hope I appear in your head
D E
Baby, I’ll be dead by then
A F#m
I burned out at 27
D E
After years of drink and dance
A F#m
And wild well-publicised romances
D
Oh, you should have killed me
E F#m
When you had the chance
D E F#m
You really should have killed me when you had the chance
[Bridge]
E F#m D
My heart is still beating
A E
But it feels like an elevator trapped between floors
F#m D
My lungs are still breathing
A D E F#m A
Like the airbags in the crashing of an empty car
[Outro]
D E
And you’ll live to see your name
A F#m
Published in my scathing memoirs
D E
And you’ll live to rue the failure
A F#m
Of not crushing all of my heart
D E F#m
Why don’t you come back and finish off the job?
