The Gutter

Bm               G
Over my dead body
                       Em
The stars will let you know
       G  A
It's over
Bm
Now if I had my way
G                                           Em
I would leave you here to waste your final days
Em
Buried beneath
       F#5  A5  B5  D5  F#5  A5  B5  D5
With the possibility of how things could be!
   Bm                    G
Oh, please rest assured this was not my fault
G
And time is getting short
   Em
So I'll be here if you want me
 F#5  A5  B5  D5  F#5  A5  B5  D5
Beaten and covered in a red so bloody!
G      Bm              A
Oh my darling, can you hear?
    G                  Bm              A
My words so pure they burn your lying ears

[Chorus]
                   G
And so the story goes
        Bm            A
When I leave will you let me go?
G         Bm
When the words stop coming
         A
And the fear starts setting in slow
G                            Bm
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
          A
It's your last chance honey, better
N.C.
Call your mother!
G5           F#5  G5 F#5  G5  F#5  G5 F#5
All hope is lost down in the gutter

[Verse 2]
Bm
When you're in your bed
G
Sleeping toward the void
                      Em
So deep it feels like death
     F#5  A5  B5  D5  F#5  A5  B5  D5
Oh, don't you wake wake
 Bm                 G
Oh my love, I hear life holds nothing for us beyond our time in here
              Em
Oh, don't you dare turn your back on me
 F#5  A5  B5  D5  F#5  A5  B5  D5
No use running when the bad guy's coming
Bm
Oh, I think you've got me pegged as the wrong man
Bm
Oh, I think you've got me pegged

[Chorus]
                   G
And so the story goes
        Bm            A
When I leave will you let me go?
G         Bm
When the words stop coming
         A
And the fear starts setting in slow
G                            Bm
Don't let me find you hiding under the covers
          A
It's your last chance honey, better
N.C.
Call your mother!
G5           F#5  G5 F#5  G5  F#5  G5 F#5
All hope is lost down in the gutter

[Bridge]
G                   Bm
We were better together I know that much
               G
Oh, can't you see
                             Bm
Through the bad and the good we had all the luck
               A
The devil's got nothing on us
       G
You and me
 Bm                G
Baby over my dead body
 Bm                G
Baby over my dead body
 Bm                G
Baby over my dead body

G         Bm
When the words stop coming
