Lyrics

[Intro]
| C#m | - | A | B |
| C#m | - | A |

[Verse 1]
B           C#m               A            B
 I've got a dying urge to feel the way you do
                 C#m
Too close for comfort
        A              B
Bed and breakfast in a spoon
             C#m                  A
The shortest breath of your young life
            B
A long walk home on friday night
        A         E                B
You made one last stop at the store
               C#m               A               B
So close to perfect swear to hell thought it was you
              C#m            A            B
This bouncing baby boy's now turning baby blue
              C#m            A
I've got your pictures on my walls
           E                         B
I've got a long list of calls I must make
To your existing family

[Chorus]
             A                E                   B
You had nine lives and one by one you chewed them up
           A                  E              B
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
C#m                A                 E            B
   This won't take long you said I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
G# A   B
    Go wait in the car

[Bridge]
| C#m | - | A | B |
| C#m | - | A |

[Verse 2]
B           C#m              A           B
 I often wonder what it feels like to be you
            C#m                A                B
A mess like this stuck on your hands with Krazy Glue
          C#m              A
Ran outta time no kiss goodbye
             E                              B
Wish I could learn to let this sleeping dog die
Without lying to myself

[Chorus]
             A                E                   B
You had nine lives and one by one you chewed them up
           A                  E              B
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
C#m                A                 E            B
   This won't take long you said I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
G# A   B
    Go wait in the car

[Chorus]
             A                E                   B
You had nine lives and one by one you chewed them up
           A                  E              B
Your final coffin nail's been driven far too much
C#m                A                 E            B
   This won't take long you said I'm not going far
Go wait in the car
G# A     B         E
Go  wait in the car
