I held death's hand this evening (x2) C(x3); G(x3); A min (x8) F maj(x3); G(x3); A min(x8) Verse:
Am
Can't keep my heart from beating

Am
Can't keep my throat from screaming

F                            G
There has to be another way for me to keep on living

Am
I held death's hand this evening

Am
Closed my eyes now I'm dreaming

   F
I promise I won't leave here

             G
Don't let me die I'm fucking screaming

F                                        G
'Cause I've got more life left to live (got some promises to keep)

F                                  G
To all the hearts that carried me (up from the ocean deep)

F                              G
I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons

F                          G
For every selfish feeling (I held death's hand this evening)
Chorus:
C       G           Am
Now my lungs are failing

Am
and my heart is fading

F       G         Am
My mind is taking me

Am
So far away I'm dreaming

Am
For every selfish reason

Am
I kept the bottles rolling

F
I poured my heart out

         G
To stop you from leaving
Etc...
