And I had the week that came from hell Em And yes I know that you could tell C But you're like the net un-der the ledge Dsus4 When I go fly-ing off the edge G You go fly-ing off as well G Em Dsus4 Chorus: And if you on-ly die once... I wan-na die with G You got some-thing I need Em In this world full of peo-ple there's one kil-ling me C And if we on-ly die once, (hey) Dsus4 G G I wan-na die with you (you-ou-ou you-ou-ou you-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou) G You got some-thing I need Em In this world full of peo-ple there's one kil-ling me C And if we on-ly die once, (hey) Dsus4 G I wan-na die with you (you-ou-ou, you-ou-ou) G G 3.
