rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated

Intro 4x: 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

      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
