Neon Tombstone

C G C G

[Verse 1]
C                       G
     I see the backbone of a thin man

C                           G
     Ribs comin' out of his chest

C                                    G
     He’s got the same troubles as a tin man

C                         D
     His heart is a rusted mess


[Build Up 1]
Em
   He keeps chasin' those bombshells

A
   With the painted on smiles

Em                             A            D
   But they don't give him the time of day

       C                         Am          D7
   And that's the fool reason he cries...


[Chorus]
G                                  D
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again

                                   G         G7
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again

C                              G B Em
I’m not ready to let go of the pain

A7                          C      D           C         G   C   G
I’m not ready for heaven so let me off of this train


[Verse 2]
C                         G
     Says he wants a neon tombstone

C                          G
     When it's his time to go

C                            G
     Says he'd hate to be forgotten

C                      D
     When he's six feet below


[Build Up 2]
Em
   And if you try to love him

A
   He won't stay

Em                       A      D
   Likes his love from a distance

   C                   Am       D7
   He’ll just push you away...


[Chorus]
G                                  D
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again

                                   G         G7
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again

C                              G B Em
I’m not ready to let go of the pain

A7                          C      D           Am       Em   Am   Em   Am   D7
I’m not ready for heaven so let me off of this train


Brief Melodica interlude


[Chorus]

G                                  D
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again

                                   G         G7
When I die I wanna be sent back to try try again

C                              G B Em
I’m not ready to let go of the pain

A7                          C      G           C         G
I’m not ready for heaven so let me off of this train

                   C        G
Let me off of this train

C                                                        G
I'm not ready for heaven so let me off of this train
