Intro: 
F  Dm  Bb Gm7  C  

F  
  I leave the gas on, walk the alleys in the dark 
Dm7 
  Sleep with candles burning, I leave the door unlocked 
Bb                      Gm7                   
  I'm weaving a rope and, running all the red lights 
     C                              
Did I get your attention? 'Cause I'm sending all the signs that... 
F  
  The clock is ticking, and I'll be giving my two weeks, pick 
Dm7 
  Your favourite shade of black, you'd best prepare a speech 
Bb                   Gm7    
  Say something funny, say something sweet 
    C                       
But don't say that you loved me 

Chorus 
       F 
'Cause I'm still breathing 
Dm 
  But we've been dead for awhile 
                      Bb                         Gm7 
This sickness has no cure, we're going down for sure 
   C                                  
Already lost a grip, on this abandoned ship 
F       Dm     Bb     Gm      C     
Oh... 

Verse 2 (Same as verse 1) 
Maybe I was too pale, maybe I was too fat 
Maybe you had better, better luck in the sack 
No formal education, And I swore way too much 
But I swear you didn't care 
'Cause we were in love 

So as I write this letter, and shed my last tear 
It's all for the better, that we end this year 
Let's close this chapter, say one last prayer 
But don't say that you loved me 

Chorus 
       F 
'Cause I'm still breathing 
Dm 
  But we've been dead for awhile 
                      Bb                         Gm7 
This sickness has no cure, we're going down for sure 
   C                                       
Already been diagnosed, so let's give up the ghost 

       F 
'Cause I'm still breathing 
Dm 
  But we've been dead for awhile 
                      Bb                         Gm7 
This sickness has no cure, we're going down for sure 
   C                                    
Already lost a grip, on this abandoned ship 
F                 Dm      
Oh...  Yeah Yeah Yeah... 
                                      Bb     Gm      
Oh I'm still breathing I'm still breathing 
C    
Oh... 
F   Dm   Bb  Gm7  C   F
