Emaj7 E G# A x3 Emaj7 E G# F# x1 [Verse 1] You told me that you want to die
                                                     Emaj7 E
I said, "I've been there myself more than a few times

                                     Emaj7 E
and I go back every once in a while."
You called me lucky, you called me lucky
Emaj7      E            G#        A
You said, "Tonight is a wonderful night to die."

Emaj7      E            G#        F#
I asked how you could tell, you told me to look at the sky

Emaj7      E            G#        A
   "Look at all those stars.

Emaj7      E            G#        F#
  Look at how goddamn ugly the stars are."
[Pre-Chorus]
C# B A                   C# B           A
     It's one or another      between a rope and a bottle

C# B       A                              B
     I can tell you're having trouble breathing
[Chorus]
 E                        G#
  'Cause you'll never be okay

 A                       E
  You will always be in pain

                           G#   A
  You'll always feel this way

 E                                   G#
  'Cause things, they never work out right

            A                E
  The wrong way, the lonely way

                            G#     A
  You'll always be in pain
Emaj7 E G# A x3 Emaj7 E G# F# x1 [Verse 2] You told me that the daylight burns you
                                            Emaj7 E
And that the sunrise was enough to kill you

                                 Emaj7 E
I said, "Maybe you're a vampire."

                                                           A
You said, "It's quite possible, I feel truly dead inside."
[Pre-Chorus]
C# B       A             C# B            A
     It's one or another      between a rope and a bottle

C# B       A                                    B
     I can tell you're having trouble breathing
[Chorus]
 E                        G#
  'Cause you'll never be okay

 A                       E
  You will always be in pain

                            G#   A
   You'll always feel this way

 E                                   G#
  'Cause things, they never work out right

            A                E
  The wrong way, the lonely way

                            G#     A
  You'll always be in pain
[Outro]
E  C#                         A            G       E
     Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out

E  C#                         A            G        E
     Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out

E  C#                         A            G        E
     Don't forget to let your life rot you inside out
