Verse 1:
C * Em *
You drifted away, but she wanted to stay.
D * C *
Even though she knows his feelings will never change.
C * Em *
She waits and she waits just to hear her name
D * C *
and those three words that mean everything.
Pre-Chorus:
CEmDD
But deep down she's aware that that's something that'll never reach her ear.
CEmDD7 *
And deep down she's aware that that's something she'll never live to hear.
Chorus:
CEmDD
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe.
CEmDD7 *
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
CEmGD
When I'm gone.
Verse 2:
CEmDD
She sees his face everyday.
CEmD * D7 *
And maybe one day he'll say, "I've always felt that way."
Pre-Chorus:
CEmDD
But deep down she's aware that that's something she'll never live to hear.
CEmDD7 *
And deep down she's aware that those words will never reach her ear.
Chorus:
CEmDD
So go ahead and kill me as long as he's safe.
CEmDD7 *
And go ahead and shoot me as long as I can see his face
CEmGD
When I'm gone, When I'm gone
Bridge:
C * D * G * C *
I forget about you over the weekend. Decided that I'm over it
C * D * G * C *
But the second I see your face again it's like the match was re-lit
C * D * G * C *
I forget about you over the weekend. Decided that I'm over it
