G                    G5/F              
Don’t nobody tell me that God don’t have 
C5(9)         F  G
A sense of humor
G                        G5/F
Cause now that I want to live
             C5(9)          F  G
Well everybody around me is dying
Dm                         C                         
Now that I finally want to live
                    F  G 
The ones I love are dying

G                       G5/F              
Becoming friends with a noose that I made 
           C5(9)            F  G
And I been trying to untie it
G                      G5/F
Make it into something useful 
         C5(9)                  F  G
Or maybe hang it through a window pane
Dm             C     F  G
Turn it into a fire escape

            Gm   Dm  C      Gm    Dm  C
It tastes so bitter on my tongue
              Gm  Dm 
The truth’s a killer
C                         Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it alone
C                         Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it alone
C                      D#  Gm  Cm  Gm
But I can’t leave it alone

G                G5/F
You don’t remember my name somedays 
C5(9)              F  G
Or that we’re related
G          
Triggers my worry
G5/F                  C5(9)           F  G   
Who else am I gonna lose before I am ready?
   Dm           C    F  G
And who’s gonna lose me?

            Gm   Dm  C      Gm    Dm  C
It tastes so bitter on my tongue
              Gm  Dm 
The truth’s a killer
C                         Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it alone
C                         Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it alone
C                      D#  Gm  Cm  Gm
But I can’t leave it alone

Cm           Gm
If you know love
Cm            Gm 
Best prepare to grieve
Cm               Gm        Cm
Let it into your open heart and
                       G (G5/F) G
Then prepare to let it leave 
 
             G (G5/F) Dm  C
It tastes so bitter...

              Gm  Dm 
The truth’s a killer
C                        Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it alone
C                      Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it a-lone
C                      Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it a-lone
C                      Gm  Dm  C
But I can’t leave it a-lone

But I can't leave it a-
