Am                      
He wants to die in a lake in Geneva

                            Em7
The mountains can cover the shape of his nose

Am
He wants to die where nobody can see him

                                 Em7
But the beauty of his death will carry on so
[REFRAIN]
Am                 Em7
I don’t believe him
[VERSE 2]
   Am
He greets me with kisses when good days deceive him

                                    Em7
And sometimes we're scorned and sometimes I believe him

        Am
And sometimes I’m convinced that my friends think I’m crazy

                                  Em7
Get scared and call him, but he’s usually hazy

   Am
At one in the morning the day is not ended

   Em7
By two he is scared that sleep is no friend

   Am
By four he will drink but he cannot feel it

Em7
Sleep will not come because sleep does not will it
[REFRAIN]
    Am                 Em7
And I don’t believe him

           Am          Em7
Morning is mocking me
[VERSE 3]
  Am
I wander the streets, avoiding them eats

                           Em7
Till the ring on my finger slips to the ground

  Am
A gift to the gutter, a gift to the city

                        Em7
The veins of which have broken me down
[REFRAIN]
    Am                 Em7
And I don’t believe him

           Am          Em7
Morning is mocking me
[CHORUS 1]
        Am        G    Am    G       Am       G    Am     G
All the gods that he believes  never fail to amaze me
[VERSE 4]
     Am                        G
He believes in the love in his god of all things

    Am                           G
But I find him wrapped up in all manner of sins

    Am                             G
The drugs that deceive him and the girls that believe him
[CHORUS 2]
Am                     G
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well

F                       Em7
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill

Am                     G
I can’t control you, I don’t know you well

F                       Em7
These are the reasons I think that you’re ill
[VERSE 5]
          Am                   Em7
And since last that we partied, last that I saw him 

          Am                     Em7
down by a river, silent and hardened

Am                      Em7
Morning was mocking us, blood hit the sky

Am                   Em7
I was just happy, my manic and I

Am                      Em7
He couldn’t see me; the sun was in his eyes
[REFRAIN]
    Am         Em7        F       G   G
And birds were singing to calm us down

    Am         Em7        F       E   G
And birds were singing to calm us down
[BRIDGE]
Am                             G
And I’m sorry young man, I can not be your friend.

Am                   G
I don’t believe in a fairytale end

  Am                    G
I don’t keep my head up all of the time

Am                     G
I find it dull when my heart meets my mind
[CHORUS 3]
    Am                   G
And I hardly know you, I think I can tell

F                       Em7
These are the reasons I think that we're ill

Am                   G
I hardly know you, I think I can tell

F                       Em7
These are the reasons I think that I'm ill
[REFRAIN]
        Am        G    Am     G        Am           G     Am      G
And the gods that he believes    never fail to disappoint me

        Am        G    Am     G        Am           G     Am      G
And the gods that he believes    never fail to disappoint me
[OUTRO]
   Am           Em7           Am        Em7  
My nihilist, my happy man, my manic and I

     Am   Em7      F      E
Have no   plans to move on

    Am        G          F       Em7
But birds are singing to calm us down

    Am        G          F       E
And birds are singing to calm us down
Am
