Key: G

🎸 Verse 1:
C
Now you’re dead and gone
     F
No loneliness, just on my own
        C
Sometimes you walk into my room



       G
And sit and brood until I fall asleep
     C
Love is tiresome when you’re older
      F
Grief and madness make you colder
          C             G
You still won’t let anyone but you hold on to me

Until it’s hard to breathe


🎸 Chorus:
 Dm G
Brea--athe
 Dm G
Lea--ave me


🎸 Verse 2:
    C
First tell me how to live
       F            C
You were the only one I gave all of myself
               G
I love you more now than I could

I’ve thrown away the flaws
     C                   F
Death redeems you when you’re underneath the earth
                C
It makes me wonder about the years that came before
        G
And all those things I feel I must ignore

 Dm G
Brea--athe
 Dm G
Kee--ep me

Judging me

Loving me

What I want to give

Oh, how I want to live
