[Intro 1]
[Dm][Am][Dm][G]
[Dm]
[Am]Over my dead body

[Verse 1]
[Dm]
The [Am]stars will [Dm]let you know,
it's [G]over[Am]
Now if I had my way
[F]I would leave you here to
waste your final [Dm]days
Buried beneath
[G](With the possib[Am]ility of
[Em]how [Am]things could be)

[Verse 2]
Oh, [Am]please rest assured
[F]this was not my fault
And [Am]time is get[Dm]ting short
So I'll be here if you want
[Em]me
[G](Beaten and [Am]covered [C]in a
[Em]red [G]so b[Am]lood[C]y)[F]
Oh, my [Am]darling, can you [G]hear?
My [F]words so pure,
they [Am]burn your lying ears
[G]

[Verse 3]
And so the story [F]goes
When I [Am]leave will you [Gsus4]let
me [Dm]go?[C][Dm][F]
When the [Am]words stop coming
And the [G]fear starts [Gsus4]setting in s[Dm]low
[F]Don't let me find you
hiding [Am]under the covers
It's your [G]last [Dm]chance, [F]honey, [Am]better
[G]Call your mother
All [F]our [Dm]hope [Em]is lo[F]st[Em]
[F]down in the gut[Am]ter

[Verse 4]
When you're [Am]in your bed
[F]Sleeping toward the void
So deep, it feels like [Dm]death
Oh, don't [Em]you[G][Am][C][Em]
[G](wa[Am]ke, wake)
Oh, my love, I hear
[F]Life holds nothing for us bey
[Am]ond [F]our [Dm]time i[Am]n he[Dm]re
[Am]Oh, don'[G]t you dare[C] turn[G]
your [C]back [Dm]on me
[Em](No use [G]run[Am]ning whe[C]n the[Em] bad
[G]guy's [Am]comi[C]ng)[Am]

[Verse 5]
Oh, I think you've got [Am]me
pegged as the wrong man
Oh, I think you've got me pegged
And [Dm]so the story goes

[Verse 6]
[F]
When I [Am]leave will you [G]let
[Gsus4]me go?[Dm][C][Dm][F]
When the [Am]words stop coming
And the [G]fear starts [Gsus4]setting in s[Dm]low
[F]Don't let me find you
hiding [Am]under the covers
It's your [G]last [Dm]chance, [F]honey, [Am]better
[G]Call your mother
All [F]our [Dm]hope [Em]is lo[F]st[Em] down [F]in the gut[Em]
[F]ter[Am]

[Verse 7]
We were [F]better togeth[Am]er
I know that much
Oh, can't you [F]see?
Through the bad and the good
[Am]we had all the luck
The devil's got [Em]noth[Dm]ing o[Gsus4]n us,[G]
you and [F]me
[Am]Oh, baby, over my dead body[F]
[Am]Oh, baby, over my dead body[F]
[Am]Oh, baby, over my dead body[G][Gsus4]
[G][C][G][Am][Gsus4][G]

[Verse 8]
[F]
We're still [Am]counting on [G]you
[C][G][Am][Gsus4][G][F]
We'll [G]keep [Am]counting on [Gsus4]you[G][C]
[G]Mother, come on [Am]out
Show me what the [G]world is all [F]about
And we'll [G]keep [Am]counting
on [Gsus4]you[C]
Mother[G], come on o[Am]ut
Show me what the [Gsus4]world is [G]all about
[F]

[Verse 9]
And we'll [G]keep [Am]fighting
for [Gsus4]you[G][F]
We'll keep [Am]fighting for [Gsus4]you[F]
We'll keep [Am]fighting for [Gsus4]you[F]
We'll [Am]keep (we'll keep
[G]fig[Am]hting)

[Verse 10]
Oh, I think you've got [Am]me
pegged as [Bb]the wrong [Am]man
Oh, I think you've [Bb]got me [Am]pegged
And so the story [C]goes

[Verse 11]
[F]
When I [Am]leave will you [G]let
[Dm]me g[C]o?[Dm][F]
When the [Am]words stop coming
And the [G]fear starts [Gsus4]setting in s[Dm]low
[F]Don't let me find you
hiding [Am]under the covers
It's your [G]last [F]chance, honey, [Am]better
[G]Call your mother
[F]All hop[Em]e is [F]lost down in the gutter
