Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][C][C]
[Am][Em][C][C]

[Verse 1]
R.I.P. to my [Em]youth
And you could call this the [Am]funeral
[Em]I'm just telling the truth
And you can play this at my [Am]funeral[Em]
Wrap me up in Cha[Am]nel inside my coffin
Might go to [C]Hell
and there ain't no stopping
Might be a [Em]sinner and I might be a saint
I'd like to be proud,
but somehow I'm ashamed
Sweet little baby in a world full of pain
I gotta be honest, I don't know if I could take it
Everybody's talking,
but what's anybody saying?
Mama said if I really want it,

[Pre-chorus 1]
then I can change it, yeah
[Am]R.I.P. to my youth
If you really [C]listen, then this is to you
Mama, there is only so much I can do
Tough for you to witness
but it was for me too
I'm [G]using white lighters to [Am]see
what's in front of [Em]me (front of me)

[Chorus 1]
R.I.P. to my [Em]youth
And you could call this the [Am]funeral[Em]
I'm just telling the truth
And you can play this at my [Am]funeral[Em]
Tell my sister don't [Am]cry and don't be sad
I'm in [C]paradise with dad
Close my [Em]eyes and then cross my arms
Put me in the dirt, let me dream with the stars
Throw me in a [Am]box with the oxygen off
You gave me the [C]key
then you locked every lock
When I can't [Em]breathe, I won't ask you to stop
When I can't breathe, don't call for a cop
I was [A]naive and hopeful and lost

[Interlude 1]
Now I'm aware and driving my thoughts, oh
[C][C][Em][Em]
[D][D]

[Bridge 1]
What do I [C]do? What do I do?
I don't believe it if I don't keep proof
I don't [Em]believe it if I don't know you
I don't believe it if it's on the news
or on the [D]internet
I need a cigarette

[Pre-chorus 2]
I'm [Am]using white lighters to [C]see
what's in front of [Em]me
I'm [Am]using white lighters to [C]see

[Chorus 2]
R.I.P. to my [Em]youth
And you could call this the [Am]funeral[Em]
I'm just telling the truth
And you can play this at my [Am]funeral[Em]
Tell my sister don't [Am]cry and don't be sad
I'm in [C]paradise with dad
Close my [Em]eyes and then cross my arms

[Outro 1]
Put me in the dirt, let me be with the stars
[G][Am][Em][Em]
