Verse:

A minorAm
Can't keep my heart from beating
A minorAm
Can't keep my throat from screaming
FF              G+G
There has to be another way for me to keep on living

A minorAm
I held death's hand this evening
A minorAm
Closed my eyes now I'm dreaming
  FF
I promise I won't leave here
       G+G
Don't let me die I'm fucking screaming

FF                    G+G
'Cause I've got more life left to live (got some promises to keep)
FF                 G+G
To all the hearts that carried me (up from the ocean deep)
FF               G+G
I've had to do some searching to understand our reasons
FF             G+G
For every selfish feeling (I held death's hand this evening)

Chorus:

C majorC    G+G      A minorAm
Now my lungs are failing
A augmentedA min
and my heart is fading
FF    G+G     A minorAm
My mind is taking me
A minorAm
So far away I'm dreaming
A minorAm
For every selfish reason
A minorAm
I kept the bottles rolling
FF
I poured my heart out
     G+G
To stop you from leaving
