I leave the gas on walk
the alleys in the dark
Dm
sleep with candles
burning I leave
the door unlocked
Bb
I'm weaving a rope and
Gm
running all the red lights
C
did I get your attention cause
I'm sending all the signs (that)
F
the clock is ticking and
I'll be giving my two weeks
Dm
your favorite shade of black
you best prepare a speech
Bb
say something funny
Gm
say something sweet
C
but don't say
that you loved me
Chorus:
F
Cause I'm still breathing

And we've been dead for a while
Bb
this sickness has no cure
Gm
we're going down for sure
C
already lost a grip
best abandoned ship

Maybe I was too pale
mabye I was too fat

care cause we were in love

so as I write this
letter and shead my last tear
