Intro
E
[Verse]
E G#
It turns out cigarettes can kill you, 'cause when you didn't come back
A B
every time that I thought of you, I smoked a whole pack
E G#
I was up to about seventeen packs a day, I was refueling too
A B B7
about every hour or so, I drank a bottle of white mule
E G#
I wasn't thinking about turquoise, I wasn't thinking about gold
A B B7
I wasn't thinking about thinking, or about getting old
E G#
got to be so I didn't care if I was leaving or loving
A B B7
oh, what I was and what I was becoming
[Chorus]
E
I don't want to die in your arms
E7 C#m6 A
I just wannna die
E
don't want to die in you arms
E7 C#m6 A
I just want to die
[Verse]
E G#
And, like a marionette doll, on man by a fool
A B
I went in, to the chicken shed, started looking for tools
E G#
Well I went for a month, filled some sky and some clouds
A B B7
And I built myself some angels, with trumpets so loud
E G#
Well they played hallelujah, and I knew I was done
A B B7
I walked through a golden gate with pearl inlays, saw a never setting sun
E G#
Well I knew I was dead, I couldn't do no more harm
A B B7
Well I built myself a heaven, where you died in my arms
[Chorus]
E
I don't want to die in your arms
E7 C#m6 A
I just wannna die
E
don't want to die in you arms
E7 C#m6 A
I just want to die
