Dead Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [D]might be dead
Might be dead
Might be dead
By the time you hear this [G]song
I bring [D]a knife to a fistfight
But lately my baby bring her [G]gun
Yeah she's [D]a cold hearted killer
She'll play you out and just move [G]on
So if I'm [D]dead
If I'm dead
If I'm dead
By the time you hear this [G]song
[E]Tell 'em I was [Bm]strong
[F#m]to the bitter end[G]
[E]Tell 'em I bel[Bm]ieved on
these six string[F#m]s
And every word I [G]said[E]
Yeah, it was my [Bm]greatest[D]
[E]fault [G]and my greatest gift
[A]And[Bm] I died lik[D]e a fo[Em]ol for[G] it
[D]So tell 'em how I [G]lived[D][G]
I might be [D]dead
Might be dead
Might be dead
By the time the music [G]stops
And the [D]only way you'll see me's
in a casket or in [G]a plastic box
So if I'm [D]dead
If I'm dead
If I'm dead
By the time you hear this [G]song
[E]Tell 'em I was [Bm]strong
[F#m]to the bitter end[G]
[E]Tell 'em I bel[Bm]ieved on
these six string[F#m]s
And every word I [G]said[E]
Yeah, it was [Bm]my greatest[D]
[Em]fault [G]and my greatest gift
[A]And I[Bm] died like [D]a fool[E] for i[G]t
So [Ab]tell 'em
It [Bm]was my [D]greatest f[Em]ault
[G]and my [Ab]greatest gift
[A]And I[Bm] died like [D]a fool f[Em]or i[G]t
So tell 'em how I [A]lived
You [E]tell 'em [Em]how I l[D]ived
Let's get it straight
I'll take your money [A]but I
Don't want your pity
Don't need your sympathy
I [G]just need to know
[E]That all this running was for[D] something
(don't play me for a fool)
I'll take your money but [A]I
(don't want your sympathy)
Don't want your pity
I [G]just need to know
[Em]That all this running
[Bm]That all this running was
[A]for something
[G]But maybe I'll never know
Tell 'em I was [D]strong
[F#m]to the beautiful end[G]
[E]Tell 'em I bel[D]ieved on
these six string[F#m]s
And every word I [G]said[E]
Yeah, it was my [Bm]greatest[D]
[Em]fault [G]and my greatest gift

But lately my baby she bring a [D]gun
[G]Dead, might be dead
By the time you hear this song

[G]Dead, might be dead and gone
