Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Bm]

[Verse 1]
You said you'd be here at [Bm]a quarter
to five
I didn't know if you were dead or
[Em]alive[C#dim][Em][Bm]
How long d'you think that I
could sharpen my knife
I've got better things to do with my

[Interlude 1]
life
[Em][C#dim][Em][Bm][Am]

[Verse 2]
It's almost the dead[Bm]line[Am]
Don't miss the dead[Bm]line, [Am]darling
When all your [Bm]bad dreams
will come [C]true[Am]
Don't miss the dead[Bm]line[Am]
It's almost the dead[Bm]line, [Am]darling
I wouldn't [Bm]want it to

[Interlude 2]
happen to you
[C][Em][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[Bm]Bill screamed at him,
and he hung up the phone
I wonder if he ever felt more [Em]alone[Bm]
He never finished his coffee that night
The ? oh! Dave,

[Interlude 3]
it was a terrible sight
[Em][C#dim][Em][Bm][Am]

[Verse 4]
He missed the dead[Bm]line[Am]
He passed the dead[Bm]line, [Am]darling
And I be[Bm]lieve that somehow
he [C]knew[Em][Am]
He crossed the [Bm]deadl[Am]ine
He passed the dead[Bm]line, [Am]darling
There wasn't a [Bm]thing anybody could
[C]do[Em][C#m][Bm]

[Interlude 4]
[Bm][Em]
[Bm]

[Verse 5]
Listen my darling, [Bm]now,
don't play with fire
You find a way to balance hate

[Interlude 5]
and desire
[Em][Bm][Am]

[Verse 6]
It's almost the dead[Bm]line[Am]
Don't miss the [Bm]deadline
[Am]darling
Consequences are [Bm]easily
[C]misconstrued[Em][Am]
Don't miss the dead[Bm]line[Am]
It's almost the dead[Bm]line, [Am]darling
I couldn't [Bm]live if it happened to you

[Outro 1]
[C][G][C][Em]
