Don't Die

	  		
Verse 
Gm

Or drugs or speeding cars in order not to think

They must have felt like there just nothing was to do

Tick tock, alive, triumphant victims so surprised we can't recover from the shock 


Gm    F                      Eb               D 
Me, I like a joke as much as anybody else but some are rough 
Gm            F                               Eb               D
