B        Bmaj7           G#m D#m
Mother, please, don't be sad

E         B       F#
 I didn't mean to die tonight

     B     Bmaj7         G#m  D#m
But those robbers were so fast

E                     B           F#
 Their guns and their anger and I lost the fight

D#m                      C#m
 The ambulance attendants did all they can

D#m                              C#m     F#
 And I almost pulled through, but in the end

  B     Bmaj7   G#m    D#m
I won't see you tonight

E         F#             B
 Mother, please, don't be sad
[Chorus]
B    A#5 G#m       F# G#m
When we  die (when we die)

G#m  F#    E          G#m   D#m
When we're high (when we're high)

    G#m F#     C#m          D#m C#m
The gatekeeper hides, hides his eyes

C#m   D#m E        G#m   F#
Let's us  by, when we're high

B    A#5 B
When we  die
[Solo] Emaj7sus2 B Emaj7sus2 B F# [Verse 2]
   B        Bmaj7           G#m D#m
So mother, please, don't be sad

E           B        F#
 It's only me that's died tonight

        B   Bmaj7         G#m D#m
There's so much you still have

E                 B               F#
 Remember all the others that are still alive

D#m                          C#m
 Their love will help you and so would I

D#m             C#m          F#
 Remember to let the dogs outside

          B     Bmaj7      G#m  D#m
Because I won't be there tonight

E         F#             B
 Mother, please, don't be sad
[Chorus]
B    A#5 G#m       F# G#m
When we  die (when we die)

G#m  F#    E          G#m   D#m
When we're high (when we're high)

    G#m F#     C#m          D#m C#m
The gatekeeper hides, hides his eyes

C#m   D#m E        G#m   F#
Let's us  by, when we're high

B    A#5 B
When we  die
[Outro] F# B B A#5
