- Capo on 3rd
- Difficulty: Beginner
♫ Verse 1:
D Am
Every couple of years now, a doctor says I'm sick
D
Pulls out a brand new bag of tricks
Am
And then they lay it on me
D Am
And at first, it was my brain, then a skeleton in pain
D Am
And I don't like to complain, but I'm saying sorry
♫ Pre-Chorus:
D D
When I met you, I thought I was damaged goods
D
Had a fucked up childhood
D
And there's poison in my brain and in my blood
♫ Chorus:
D Fm
If you knew it was the end of the world
Am
Could you love me like a child?
D
Could you hold me in the dark?
D Fm
If you knew it was the end of the world
Am
Would you like to stay a while?
D
Would you leave when it gets hard?
♫ Verse 2:
D Am
So I ran into the clinic and I asked to see the man
D
With his white coat and his stethoscope
Am
Like a snake around his hand
D Am
And I told him I'm not bitter 'cause I finally found a lover
D Am
Who's better for my liver, and now I'll finally recover
♫ Pre-Chorus:
D D
When I met him, I thought I was damaged goods
D
From a real bad neighborhood
D
So we wrestled in the mud
D D
And I told him he could stay right where he stood
D
But I don't know if he should
D
'Cause once my God destroys the flesh, then there's the flood
♫ Chorus:
D Fm
If you knew it was the end of the world
Am
Could you love me like a child?
D
Could you hold me in the dark?
D Fm
If you knew it was the end of the world
Am
Would you like to stay a while?
D
Maybe we could build an ark
♫ Bridge:
D Fm
We could sail on broken driftwood through the sopping wet terrain
Am D
And count the buildings and the bodies getting swallowed by the rain
D Fm
And in the water, there's the doctor who didn't listen to my claim
Am
What a shame, he's circling a drain
♫ Outro:
D D
When I met you, I said I would never die
D D
But the joke was always mine 'cause I'm racing against time
D Fm Am
And I know it's not the end of the world, but could you pick me up at 8?
D
'Cause my treatment starts today
