C Am
I lie awake at night, dreaming of a time
Em
Where I could say the pain was worth it
G
That I didn't deserve to be treated so unkind
C Am
You saw me crying on the fire escape
Em
I locked your eyes, looked like your face was frozen
G
Like you didn't even notice me dying
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
Em*
I'd risk my life for you
G*
I'd twist that knife for you
[Chorus]
C
Love is death, love is dying
Am
With every breath, cells dividing
Em
I'm dying for you
G
I'm dying for you
C
Love is steel, a silver lining
Am
With every tear multiplying
Em
I'm crying for you
G
Yeah, I'm dying for you
[Verse 2]
C
Blood sacrifices made
Am Em
It's everything it takes for me to keep from screaming
G
Like a rabbit out my sleeve, it's a miracle I'm still breathing
C Am
But I have no choice, it's like my voice is in a box
Em
That's buried leagues and leagues below me
G
With only fishes for company
[Pre-Chorus]
C Am
Oh, but even though you know I would stay
Em*
I'd take my life for you
G*
I'd twist that knife for you
[Chorus]
C
Love is death, love is dying
Am
With every breath, cells dividing
Em
I'm dying for you
G
I'm dying for you
C
Love is steel, a silver lining
Am
With every tear multiplying
Em
I'm crying for you
G
Yeah, I'm dying for you
N.C.
Yeah, I'm dying for you
[Interlude]
C* Em*
[Bridge]
G
I'd give my life for you
C
Twist that knife for you
Am Em*
It's all, all for you
[Chorus]
C
Love is death, love is dying
Am
With every breath, cells dividing
Em
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
G
I'm dying for you (I'm dying for you)
C
Love is steel, a silver lining
Am
With every tear multiplying
Em
I'm crying for you (I'm crying for you)
G
Yeah, I'm dying for you
[Outro]
C Am Em
Can't you see I'm dying, dying?
G
Oh yeah
C Am Em G
C* Am* Em* G*
