Prefer You Dead Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]She[G]'s [D]staring as the li[Dsus4]ghts
are curling off into [D]the dark
And the fuel tanks [Dsus4]erupt ing
underneath the rain of [D]sparks
And the birds all leave the tree
[Dsus4]down in the [D]corner of the park
With his neck bent back on the top of the seat
he looks [Dsus4]so relaxed despite t[D]he heat
A green flame around his head,
she's so relieved he's really dead
[A]One day ago you wouldn't dream of it,
[G]things happen if you hadn't seen it
[D]It wakes you, sweating by your bed
The long bells [A]ring inside [Asus4]your head[A]
Wonder would never know what to do
[G]Things happen when
you've got to offer
[D]You think of all the things she said
You realise that she'd
prefer you dead
She's breathing very [Dsus4]loudly as
she creeps across [G]the [D]hall
Not used to being [Dsus4]scared of
her own shadow on the [D]wall
And her fallen hands above [Dsus4]her
like a little hol[D]low ball
And it's bright enough to see the drips
of [Dsus4]sweat upon her [D]fingertips
She knew the knife was made for
To drop between his shoulder blade
[A]One day ago you wouldn't dream of it
[G]Things happen that you hadn't seen
And it [D]wakes you sweating by your bed
The [G]alarm bells ring inside [A]your head
One day never knowing what to do
[G]Things happen when it got too hot
But [D]you think of all the things she said
You realise that she'd prefer you dead
[Dsus4]
[D][Dsus4]
[D][Dsus4][D]
She's keeping [Dsus4]very still down in
the [D]corner of the [Dsus4]room[D]
[A]One day ago you wouldn't dream of it
[G]Things happened that you hadn't seen
And it [D]wakes you sweating by your bed
Alarm bells [G]ring inside your head
[A]One day of never knowing what to do
[G]Things happen when it got too hot
But [D]you think of all the things you said
You really
realise that she'd prefer you
[A]One day ago you wouldn't dream of it
[G]Things happen that you hadn't seen
And it [D]wakes you, by your bed
The light bulbs ring inside [G]your head
[A]One day of never knowing what to do
[G]Things happen when you've got to fuck
But [D]you think of all the things she said
You realise that she'd prefer you
Dead
