Capo 1 (again works for most emery songs)

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