Intro
B
[Verse]
B D#
It turns out cigarettes can kill you, 'cause when you didn't come back
E F#
every time that I thought of you, I smoked a whole pack
B D#
I was up to about seventeen packs a day, I was refueling too
E F# F#7
about every hour or so, I drank a bottle of white mule
B D#
I wasn't thinking about turquoise, I wasn't thinking about gold
E F# F#7
I wasn't thinking about thinking, or about getting old
B D#
got to be so I didn't care if I was leaving or loving
E F# F#7
oh, what I was and what I was becoming
[Chorus]
B
I don't want to die in your arms
B7 G#m6 E
I just wannna die
B
don't want to die in you arms
B7 G#m6 E
I just want to die
[Verse]
B D#
And, like a marionette doll, on man by a fool
E F#
I went in, to the chicken shed, started looking for tools
B D#
Well I went for a month, filled some sky and some clouds
E F# F#7
And I built myself some angels, with trumpets so loud
B D#
Well they played hallelujah, and I knew I was done
E F# F#7
I walked through a golden gate with pearl inlays, saw a never setting sun
B D#
Well I knew I was dead, I couldn't do no more harm
E F# F#7
Well I built myself a heaven, where you died in my arms
[Chorus]
B
I don't want to die in your arms
B7 G#m6 E
I just wannna die
B
don't want to die in you arms
B7 G#m6 E
I just want to die
