Capo 1 (again works for most emery songs)

Cadd9 Bm Cadd9
Time is running out as you die, die, die in this bed not making a sound.
Bm F#m A Em F#m A
It has all come crashing down to be here, and watch you breathe your last.
Em Cadd9 F#m
So helpless to stop you from slipping away so fast.
Cadd9
Oh, God, are you listening now?
Bm Cadd9
As this cancer dances through her, and then takes a bow.
Bm F#m A
It won't disappoint the crowd,
Em F#m
whose words are a curse,
A Em
as I hear them one-by-one.
Cadd9 F#m
Please pull the string, and I come undone.
Bm Em Cadd9 F#m Bm
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
Em Cadd9 F#m Bm
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
Em Cadd9
So many days I've been blind.
F#m Bm
I want to stop and rewind.
Em A Cadd9
Kick off our shoes and dance with the ghost of you.
Bm Cadd9
Who could tease me and leave me begging for the abuse?
Bm F#m A Em F#m A
You're the only one I knew that could tame me, and make me who I am.
Em Cadd9 F#m
But now, there's self-blaming and there's nothing left of all my plans.
Bm Em Cadd9 F#m Bm
I know this. I failed to say. I'm sinking by your side.
Em Cadd9 F#m Bm
You're worth this. I wouldn't trade a day to not have gone through this
Em Cadd9
So many days I've been blind.
F#m Bm
I want to stop and rewind.
Em A
Kick off our shoes and dance...
A
Let's dance again.
A
We'll turn up our sleeves.
Cadd9 Bm
I know just where to begin.
A Cadd9
Dance, let's dance again.
Em F#m A Bm Em F#m A Bm
We could find ourselves before this happens...
Bm Cadd9
These words of mine are trite and so cliche.
Bm Cadd9
Still we find a place in everything.
Bm Cadd9 F#m A
It's just to break the silence that has been crushing me.
Bm Cadd9
Half of me is dead, already gone.
Bm Cadd9
Half is screaming everyone is wrong.
Bm Cadd9 F#m Cadd9
Finally asking now, will you just hear me out?
Em Bm
This was all my fault.
Cadd9 Em A F#m
You brought me death, and it's everything I wanted.
Bm Em A
It's the wrong side of fear that kept me out.
