Your body [G] may be gone, [C] I'm gonna carry you in

Well, I [G] don't know, I don't know, I [C] don't know, I don't think so

You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you [C] get
You get [Em] away from me
You get [F] away from me
[Cm] Go, leave me my balloons and [E] I'll lay off the [A] jail

You tell me what you want and I'll [E] tell you what you [C] get
In the ocean, man, in [G] the sky
You get away from me
You [C] live a grand time of life, [G] shook hands and said goodbye
You get away from me
And the earth loaded in on itself
You get away from me
And said goodbye
[C#m] For your sake, I hope heaven and hell
You get away from me
[F#] I'd rather die, but I wouldn't hold [C#m] my breath
You get away from me

Yesterday's something, what you carry in you
In my head, you know nothing but sorrow
[G] But I'm not the head
[Em] But no one knew [G] the head
But no one still gave me wife
[Em] Well, I don't mind, I don't mind having death
[Am] Well, daddy, [G] daddy, this is [A] this
You tell me what you [G] want and I'll tell you what you get
You [C] get away [Em] from me

You wasted [C#m] life, why wouldn't you waste death?
