Key: C

Difficulty: Novice


Verse:
C                 E                 F
I wanna push your lifeless body out over the railing
      G
To the black waters of Joe Pool Lake
C                        E
I want a church group to discover you floating
F                         G
Out floating by a buoy so they can call the police
C                         E
And they will check your dental records
F               G
They will get a positive ID on your face
C                              E
And your mother will cry over crime scene photos
F

Her worst fears confirmed and
G
I will walk away

Instrumental:
C E F G x 2

Pre-Chorus:
F                       G
They will rule it all a suicide
A                      C      G     F
And I will turn off my TV and go outside
F                               G
I thought it was better but I'm gettin' worse
A                              C      G              F
I'm finding my own meaning in what it feels like to suffer

F G

Chorus:
C                     E
I will watch you fall twenty feet or so
F                     G
I'll watch the bubbles rise up from your nostrils
C                     E
A pair of jet skis, completely unknowing
F                      G                        C E F G
Will run you over and puree what's left of your skin

Instrumental:
C E F G x 1

Verse:
C                  E
I wanna bury you alive
                           F
I wanna cut off all your limbs
                            G
I wanna burn all of these pictures
                      C
Wanna try and start again
                               E
I'm gonna leave this fuckin' state
                          F
I'm gonna try and keep my head down
                  G
Think more about confrontation
                          C E F
But I'll probably chicken out
                            C E F
Yeah, I'll probably chicken out

Pre-Chorus:
F                          G
They will rule it all a suicide
A                    C         G  F
And I will close my laptop and go outside
F                             G
To get some air to clear my head
A                               C        G            F
Sometimes I wonder if you were capable of feeling regret

Chorus:
C                      E
I will watch you fall twenty feet or so
F                                   G
I'll watch you catch your breath so you trip and stumble back
 C                  E
Into your house, the privacy of your room
F                    G
You wince in pain as you try and dress your wounds

C E F G x 2
