Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:

     C minorCm
I've been wasting away
     C minorCm
Like the Christ on the cross
     AbAb
And I can take no more
     C minorCm
Was I too dumb to give up
    C minorCm
Or too proud to give in
      AbAb
Don't even care no more

Pre-Chorus:
               Bb majorBb
But I'm not here to raise the dead
           C minorCm
Hang myself in every word that you said
              AbAb
I'm not here to share your bed

Verse 2:
     C minorCm
There are things to forgive
     C minorCm
There are things to forget
         AbAb
There are things I regret
      C minorCm
And all the things that I did
    C minorCm
All the things that I said
     AbAb
Are better left for dead

Pre-chorus:
               Bb majorBb
And I'm not here to raise the dead
           C minorCm
Hang myself in every word that was said
             AbAb
If you want I'll take the blame
               Bb majorBb
'Cause dreams get buried everyday


Chorus:
       C minorCm            Bb majorBb
Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded
  G minorGm            AbAb
So why should we try to hold on
      C minorCm            Bb majorBb
We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded
  G minorGm           AbAb
So say what you will, say what you will for

Post-Chorus:
C minorCm           FF
I cannot raise the dead, no
C minorCm           AbAb Bb majorBb
I cannot raise the dead
C minorCm           FF
I cannot raise the dead, no
C minorCm          AbAb Bb majorBb
I cannot raise the dead

Verse 3:
   C minorCm
In a time before us
    C minorCm
We were both someone else
      AbAb
And we can be again
      C minorCm
We both let wrong one in
      C minorCm
To keep the right one out
       AbAb
And now we're both without

Pre-chorus:
               Bb majorBb
So let's not try to raise the dead
             C minorCm
Hang ourselves in all the words that were said long ago
             Bb majorBb
If you want I'll take the blame
              AbAb
For dreams get buried everyday


Chorus:
       C minorCm            Bb majorBb
Now there is rose on our grave and the colours have faded
  G minorGm            AbAb
So why should we try to hold on
      C minorCm            Bb majorBb
We're like dust in the wind, we are memory jaded
  G minorGm           AbAb
So say what you will, say what you will for

C minorCm           FF
I cannot raise the dead, no
C minorCm           AbAb Bb majorBb
I cannot raise the dead
