D Bm G Em A
[Verse]
D
I leave the gas on, walk the alleys in the dark
Bm
sleep with candles burning, I leave the door unlocked
G Em
I'm weaving a rope and, running all the red lights
A
did I get your attention cause I'm sending all the signs (that)
D
the clock is ticking, and I'll be giving my two weeks pick
Bm
your favorite shade of black, you best prepare a speech
G Em
say something funny, say something sweet
A
but don't say that you loved me
[Chorus]
D
Cause I'm still breathing
Bm
And we've been dead for a while
G
this sickness has no cure
Em
we're going down for sure
A
already lost a grip
best abandoned ship
[Verse]
D
Maybe I was too pale, Maybe I was too fat
Bm
Maybe you wanted better, better luck in the sack
G
No formal education
Em
I swear way too much
A
I swear you didn't care
A
'Cause we were in love
D
So as I write this letter and shed my last tear
Bm
No, it's all for the better
Bm
That we end this here
G
Let's close this chapter
Em
Say one last prayer
A
But don't say that you loved me
[Chorus]
D
'Cause I'm still breathing
Bm
But we've been dead for awhile
Bm
This sickness has no cure
G
We're goin' down for sure
A
Oh we've been diagnosed
A
So let's give up the ghost
D
'Cause I'm still breathing
Bm
But we've been dead for awhile
Bm
This sickness has no cure
G
We're goin' down for sure
A
Already lost a grip
A
Best abandon ship
[Outro]
D Bm G Em A
I'm still breathing
