Verse 1:

You told me that you want to die
                           EMaj7Emaj7 E MajorE
I said, "I've been there myself more than a few times
                   EMaj7Emaj7 E MajorE
and I go back every once in a while."

You called me lucky, you called me lucky

EMaj7Emaj7   E MajorE      G#G#    A augmentedA
You said, "Tonight is a wonderful night to die."
EMaj7Emaj7   E MajorE      G#G#    F#F#
I asked how you could tell, you told me to look at the sky
EMaj7Emaj7   E MajorE      G#G#    A augmentedA
  "Look at all those stars.
EMaj7Emaj7   E MajorE      G#G#    F#F#
 Look at how goddamn ugly the stars are."

Pre-Chorus:
C#C# BB A augmentedA          C#C# BB      A augmentedA
   It's one or another   between a rope and a bottle
C#C# BB    A augmentedA               BB
   I can tell you're having trouble breathing


Chorus:
 E MajorE            G#G#
 'Cause you'll never be okay
 A augmentedA            E MajorE
 You will always be in pain
              G#G#  A augmentedA
 You'll always feel this way

 E MajorE                  G#G#
 'Cause things, they never work out right
      A augmentedA        E MajorE
 The wrong way, the lonely way
              G#G#   A augmentedA
 You'll always be in pain

Verse 2:

You told me that the daylight burns you

And that the sunrise was enough to kill you
                 EMaj7Emaj7 E MajorE
I said, "Maybe you're a vampire."
                              A augmentedA
You said, "It's quite possible, I feel truly dead inside."
