Capo 1 (again works for most emery songs)

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