Corpse Bride chords by Eileen Alister

• Capo on 4th
• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Verse 1:
       Am
on the calm down
       G
it’s a punch in the face
    C
to know that he’s gone now
     F
a bitter pill to take
     Am
cause somehow
          G
I thought I had him for life
        C
thought we’d grow old together
            F
I thought that I’d be his bride

Pre-chorus:
   Am           C
he swore on his core
    G
a promise for life
                F
now I know that it was just a metaphor

Chorus:
                Am
I’m the goddamn corpse bride
                         C
you said till death but you lied
                      G
our bodies are still warm
               F
none of us has died
                Am
I’m the goddamn corpse bride
                         C
you said till death but you lied
                      G
our names are on the grave stones
                  F
but no one sleeps inside
N.C
we’re still alive

Post-chorus:
Am                    G
la la la la la la la lie

till death do is part
Am
la la la la la la la lie
F
but I was dead from the start

Verse 2:
         Am
call the medics
         G
I’ve got wounds the size of you
         C
it’s a bandage on a bullet hole
       F
to hope you might hurt too
        Am
was it reckless
        G
to jump without a safety net
        C
my life in your hands
               F
just cause of words you never meant

Pre-chorus:
   Am           C
he swore on his core
    G
a promise for life
                F
now I know that it was just a metaphor

Chorus:
                Am
I’m the goddamn corpse bride
                         C
you said till death but you lied
                      G
our bodies are still warm
               F
none of us has died
                Am
I’m the goddamn corpse bride
                         C
you said till death but you lied
                      G

but no one sleeps inside

we’re still alive

Bridge:
Am     C
oh
    G
you burned the knot

that we tied
            F
now I’m your nightmare dressed in white
Am     C
oh
    G
you burned the knot

that we tied
          F
you’re no groom –

Chorus:
                Am
I’m the goddamn corpse bride
                         C
you said till death but you lied
                      G
our bodies are still warm
               F
none of us has died
                Am
I’m the goddamn corpse bride
                         C
you said till death but you lied
                      G
our names are on the grave stones
                  F
but no one sleeps inside
N.C
we’re still alive

Outro:
Am                   C
love me till we’re corpse
               G
stupid little lie
                   F
death can’t tear us apart anymore

but will mine make you cry?
