D
You didn’t really die
G
You only went away
C
My drummer he saw you
A                       D
Buying supplies about a week ago
G                    C
A couple towns away
             A
South on the interstate

[Verse 1]
D
I gave him shit for not
G
Telling me sooner than he did
C
He said he thought I knew
A                                   D
He said everybody else has seen her too
G
I haven't been around that much
C                     A
Or kept in touch with anyone or anything

[Instrumental]
D G C A
D G C A

[Verse 2]
D
You didn't really die
G
Although it seems as if you did
C
Why would you have to hide
A                                    D
And who stayed on with you while you hid?
                  G
Through all those silent nights
C                             A
That silence sure can be real loud
A           D
Louder than anything

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
D
You didn't really die
G
So what am I do do with
C
The memories of ours
A                              D
I chronicled and buried in the back yard
         G
Dig them up today
C
Attach a note that says they're yours
A                             D
Leave them at the door of the supply store
G
And hope that when you come along
C
You bring yourself to read of them
A                                    D             G C
And wonder from precisely that there moment on...

[Outro]
C                   A
Why would I want to die?
            D            G C
Why would I want to die?
C                   A
Why would I want to die?
            D            G C
Why would I want to die?
C                   A
Why would I want to die?
