(Spoken)
I, your name, do solemnly swear, not to off myself, think about offing myself,
or continue thinking about offing myself without reaching out for help after listening to this song
[Verse]
G Sometimes I see them on the sidewalk, biking on the wet chalk Em Spelling out their names and I feel insane C Cause I know it's just a game, that I'm playing with my brain D I don't see her but I see her and I know it isn't real G But I fake it anyway, pull a smile and wave Em Nod and look away, wait for it to fade C But it happens all the time and people say it's fine D My roommate says they're killing us but we're killing ourselves and I'm surrounded by
[Chorus]
G Dead girls on the road Em Dead girls on my phone C Dead girls D Where do they go G All of the fuckin', dead girls all around Em Dead girls in my town C Dead girls D I don't know C D Dead girls, where do they go
[Verse]
G And it'd be wrong to say I miss them I didn't really know him Em I just have a couple friends who say they knew him well C He seemed like something special, really don't they all D I guess before you're gone it can be kind of hard to tell G Em I broke the fucking news, it wasn't mine to break C D She cried and I was empty, it wasn't mine to say
[Chorus]
G There's dead kids on the road Em Dead kids in my phone C Dead kids D Where do they go G I wanna be a, dead kid with my friends Em Dead kids home again C Dead kids D I don't know
[Verse]
G Em You like them better dead, better dead C D Just say you want it like that G Em You like me better dead, better dead C D G Gun against your head, you like them dead
[Bridge]
C D G And if all you ever see are dead girls C D Em If all you hear is terrible news C D G Maybe it's not all about the dead girls C D G Em C D G Maybe it's more about you, the living need attention too
[Chorus]
G Dead kids all the time Em Dead kids in our prime C Dead kids D Where do they go? G I wanna be a dead girl like the rest Em Dead girls are the best C D That's why we're on every show
[Outro]
G Em You like them better dead, better dead C D Just say you want it like that G Em You like me better dead, better dead C D G Gun against your head, you like them dead
