F maj(x3); G(x3); A min(x8)

Verse:

Am
Can't keep my heart from beating
Am
Can't keep my throat from screaming
F                            G
There has to be another way for me to keep on living

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

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

Chorus:

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