Til The Casket Drops

	  		 
(Verse)  

Dm                      Am  
It was the coldest night of the year, 
Dm                           G 
Snow-covered street lamps and Belvedere, 
Dm         
The moon was just a sliver, 
Am 
The light was fading, 
Dm 
The war was on its way, 
G 
And we were waiting, 

Dm                       Am 
You asked me how long I'd stay by your side, 
Dm                          Am 
So I answered with only just one reply, 


         Dm 
Till the casket drops, 
Bb 
Till my dying day, 
G 
Till my heartbeat stops, 
Am 
Till my legs just break, 
Dm       Bb 
Whoa, oh, whoa, 
Am          G 
whoa, whoa, oh, 
Dm         Bb 
Whoa, whoa, oh, 
Am 
Till the casket drops, 


(same chords as verse) 

A house made out of glass will surely shatter, 
So we built a fortress of red bricks and ladders, 
The ground, it started shaking, 
The bombs are falling, 
We could've walked away, 
We had a warning, 



You asked me how long I'd stay by your side, 
So I answered with only just one reply, 



         Dm 
Till the casket drops, 
Bb 
Till my dying day, 
G 
Till my heartbeat stops, 
Am 
Till my legs just break, 
Dm       Bb 
Whoa, oh, whoa, 
Am          G 
whoa, whoa, oh, 
Dm         Bb 
Whoa, whoa, oh, 
Am 
Till the casket drops, 
, 

Bridge

Dm 
So lay your burden down, baby,  
Bb 
Lead me out the door, 
G 
We can't escape this ricochet, 
Am 
I'm ready for this war, 

Dm 
So lay your burden down, baby, 
Bb 
Lead me out the door, 
G 
We can't escape this ricochet, 
Am 
I'm ready for this war, 


         Dm 
Till the casket drops, 
Bb 
Till my dying day, 
G 
Till my heartbeat stops, 
Am 
Till my legs just break, 
Dm       Bb 
Whoa, oh, whoa, 
Am          G 
whoa, whoa, oh, 
Dm         Bb 
Whoa, whoa, oh, 
Am 
Till the casket drops,
