_ _ My name is Felix [Ab] Rodriguez, I play guitar.
_ I'm Maja Iversen and I sing.
I'm Jesper Anderberg and I play keyboards and guitar.
And we are The Sounds and we're here at the Red Bull Studios in L.A. _
Our new record called Something to Die For, it's our fourth album actually.
We recorded it in our hometown in Sweden.
It's actually the first album we produced ourselves.
I think [Bb] the reason why we actually did produce it ourselves [F] was from working with other producers
and [Bb] realizing that our own demos [G] _
actually sound [Cm] better than the finished product that we've done with somebody else.
But it was a lot of fun.
You need to be very disciplined since there's nobody else there to tell you what to do.
But I think we pulled it off really, really well. _ _

Tell [Ab] me why don't you kill [Cm] me and put [G] a gun against [Cm]
my head
[Ab] _ I'm better off [Cm] dead, _ [G] _ I'm better off [Cm] dead
I [Ab] want it over by [Cm] now
Why don't [G] you kill me and hide your [Cm]
love
_ _ [Ab] _ I'm better [Cm] off dead, _ [G] I'm better [Cm] off dead
There [Ab] is no time to [Cm] regret
I'm laying [G] naked on [Cm] my bed
_ [Ab] I'm _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ better [C] off _ dead _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
When _ [G] you hold me, when [Ab] you touch [Eb] me
You [Gm] said that you'd [Cm] forgive me
But you [F] never hold me and [Ab] you never touch me
[Eb] You [Gm] said that [Cm] you'd forgive me
I want it over [C] by now
Why don't [G] you kill me [Cm] with your love
_ [Ab] _ I'm better [Eb] off _ _ _ dead, I'm better [C] off dead
_ I've been fooling myself _
I can't [G] explain why I'm [C] still here
_ _ [Ab] _ I'm better [Eb] off dead, _ _ [Bb] _ I'm better [Cm] off dead
When [F] you hold me, when [Ab] you touch me
[Eb] You said [Gm] that you'd [Cm] forgive me
But you [Bb] never hold me and you [Ab] never touch me
[Eb] You [C] said that you'd [Cm]
forgive me
All this loneliness [Bb] I'm the one to blame
[Ab]
But you never told me [Eb] what's hiding behind [Cm] this hole
And every [Bb] shallow faith, desire, [Ab] and love
_ So [Eb] show [Bb] me what [Cm] you've got
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ That song is about a darker love story
Better off dead is kind of like a twisted love story
On this album [E] it's a little bit darker _ _ lyrics sometimes
But _ we also write music during the winter time in Sweden
So maybe that's why we have more of a darker twist to it
Because it's kind of boring to be in Sweden for four or five months
When it's rainy and winter and cold
But we need it
We wouldn't be able to live here for two years and write an album
We need to go back to where we come from, where it's dark
Because it's easier for us to write _ _ _ _ _ _ _
