Tom: D
D A
[Verse 1]
D
I start forgetting death
A
Even if it's just for a minute
D
As you're getting dressed
A
You remind me why I'm living
[Chorus]
Em A
There are so many ways I could go any day
D A C B7
Bit by a snake or just naked in bed
Em A
But if you're there for my final breath
D A
I'll start forgetting death
[Verse 2]
D
I start forgetting death
A
Even though I know it's a given
D
Lying on my chest
A A7 A
You remind me what grows in it
[Chorus]
Em A
There are so many ways I could go any day
D A C B7
Fall asleep at the wheel full speed ahead
Em A A7
But if you're there for my final breath
D A A7
I'll start forgetting death
[Bridge]
D A A7 F#
I'll start forgetting death
Bm
I guess I could just lay down
G A
While you tell me there's nothing to worry about
F#7 Bm
It's just in my head where it's swimming around
G A
Like a shark or a tiger that's ready to pounce
[Outro]
D F#
And I'll start forgetting death
G A
Ohh
D
I'll start forgetting death
F#7
Start forgetting death
G A
Ohh
Em A D
Ohhh
