Verse
D                                 G         D 
Doctors' notes, swing votes, that I can't decide 
      Em             G                 D 
If I stay here much longer, surely will die 
 D                            G           D 
Lived a life full of vice, passion and crime 
 Em             G              D 
Can't say I'm perfect, but I certainly tried

Verse 2
D                              G         D 
No one left, no one except my demons and I 
   E       G             D      Em      D 
No one to forgive me, I'm running out of time 
          D                            G           D 
And it's up to me to try and meet my fate with a smile 
        E          G            Bm  Em    D 
And it might sound silly, but I still will try
