Rumors Of My Demise Have Been Greatly Exaggerated

	  		
Intro: Am Dm F G 

    Am             Dm     F 
So please don't ask me how 
            G                  Am 
I ended up at my wits end 
       Dm       F 
And breaking down 
G                      Am                 Dm 
Pages torn from books we never read 
                  F                       G 
Cause we're plugged into this grid 
        Am                    Dm 
Don't pull this plug right now 
                   F                  G 
Or then we'd really have to live 

            F                    Dm 
When I die, will they remember not 
            F                 Dm 
What I did, but what I haven't done? 
                F                  Dm 
It's not the end that I fear with each breath 
     F                              G 
It's life that scares me to death 

               C 
When we built these dreams on sand 
               G 
How they all slipped through our hands 
Am                   F 
This might be our only chance 
                     C 
Let's take this one day at a time 
                  G 
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine 
      Am                           F 
The time that we kill keeps us alive 

( Am  Dm  F  G ) (4x) 

Am                   Dm      F 
Your words won't save me now 
              G                      Am        Dm       F 
I'm at the edge feeling the sweat drip from my brow 
          G               Am                   Dm 
"Get a grip on yourself" is what they say 
         F               G 
Every hour, every day 
Am                Dm 
Hands over my ears 
             F                           G 
I've been screaming all these years! 

            F                    Dm 
When I die, will they remember not 
            F                 Dm 
What I did, but what I haven't done? 
                F                  Dm 
It's not the end that I fear with each breath 
     F                              G 
It's life that scares me to death 

               C

               G

                     C 
Let's take this one day at a time 
                  G 
I'll hold your hand if you hold mine 
      Am                           F 
The time that we kill keeps us alive 

(Dm) 

 Dm               C Dm  
        We came in search of answers! 
 C A#          F G              C 
       We left empty handed again! 
Dm              C Dm  
        Shots fired into the sky 
C A#  
      Are now returning! 
F G                      C 
      Where the fuck will you hide? 
    
Dm                           C      Dm  
Hiding from the laughter in the closets of our lives 
C A#                                              F        C  
   But the door hinges are squeaking letting in thin shards of light 
C Dm  
    And now a hand's extending outward 
C Dm  
   Quiet comfort they invite 
C A#  
   Do we dare take what they offer? 
F C  
    Do we step into the light? 

            F                    Dm 
When I die, will they remember not 
            F                 Dm 
What I did, but what I haven't done? 
                F                  Dm 
It's not the end that I fear with each breath 
     F                              G 
It's life that scares me to death
