                          WHEN YOU DIED - The Menzingers
E|E|------------------------------

E|----------------------------------

E|-----------------|| 

Tuning: Half-step down (I think it's
 actually played on a baritone 
guitar,
but this is the tuning of the rest 
of the album)

For the G/F# chord I put there, just
 make sure that you go from the root
 on the
top strinG (3) down A half step (to 
2); I play it like: 2-x-0-0-3-x

G

G                  C              
I was on my way to heaven when you
 Em
 died
      C             D             
I was racing up the express lane I
     G          Em
 was cheating HOV lanes
G              C              Em
Made it to the gate in record timing
  C                D              
I quickly threw my hazards on, 
   G              Em
don't bother finding parking
      Am                       G
I was on my to heaven when you died


G                    C           
And I was dressed in all black in
   Em
 a hoax
     C            D               
That nobody would notice me, and 
   G                  Em
the bolt cutters I was hiding
G             C          Em
Underneath my over sized jacket

  C                D              
I snuck around the back and broke 
    G                          
you out when the guards weren't 
 Em
looking
      Am                       G  
I was on my to heaven when you 
      G/F#
died


Em                   C           
But then it was all over, they 
        D
got us surrounded
                          G        
They beat us with batons, cuffed us
     G/F#
 and threw us in the car
Em          C                    
When I wake up I wanna talk to a 
D
lawyer
           G     G/F#      C
I demand a fair speedy trial


Em              D

But oh how can a perfect human 
         G
run out of luck
                     C             
When there's just so many horrible 
                  Em
people screaming jackpot
    Bm           Em                
And oh I can not help but fear the

things that I can't control
                C
