Intro: x8
D A

Verse 1:
         D
I don't need you, I don't need you
           A
Besides I barely ever see you anymore
     D                               A
And when I do it feels you're only halfway there
       D
Young mothers love me even ghosts of
 A
Girlfriends call from Cleveland
            F#m           D      A
They will meet me anytime and anywhere

Chorus:
 D
The day I die, the day I die
 A
Where will we be?
Em
The day I die, the day I die
 G
Where will we be?

D A Bm A

Verse 2:
      D
Don't do this, I don't do this to you
        A
Don't expect me to enjoy it
          D                                    A
'Cause I really don't have the courage not to turn the volume up inside my ears
D                            A
For years I used to put my head inside the speakers
        F#m                                A
In the hallway when you get too high and talk forever

Chorus:
D
The day I die, the day I die
A
Where will we be?
Em
The day I die, the day I die
 G
Where will we be?
D
The day I die, the day I die
A
Where will we be?
Em
The day I die, the day I die
 G
Where will we be?

D A Bm A

Verse 3:
Bm                                                 F#m
I get a little punchy with the vodka just like my great uncle Valentine Jester did
       Bm                                                   F#m           A
But he had to deal with those people like you who made no goddamn common sense
Bm                                                  F#m             A
I’d rather walk all the way home right now than to spend one more second in this place
     Bm                              Em                   A        D
I’m exactly like you Valentine, just come outside and leave with me

D A Bm A

Bridge:
                 D                      A
Let's just get high enough to see our problems
                D                       A
Let’s just get high enough to see our fathers’ houses

Chorus:
D
The day I die, the day I die
A
Where will we be?
Em
The day I die, the day I die
 G
Where will we be?
D
The day I die, the day I die
A
Where will we be?
Em
The day I die, the day I die
 G
