Verse 1:
Bm F#7 G
When my heart doesn't beat anymore
D F#7 Bm
And my body's cold
Bm F#7 G
You will walk, dressed in black, to my door
D F#7 Bm
And the bells will toll
Pre-Chorus:
Bm F#m/A
You use my love like an open vein
G
Just when I thought it would heal
F#7sus4
Back you came
Chorus:
F#7 Bm
Seeing you again for the first time
Bm7/A
Tryna look ahead and not behind

At my grave, they did say one last verse
D F#7 Bm
'Bout the new love that you found

And I lay in the rain by the church

And they lured me into the ground
