The Death Of Me Chords & Lyrics - Marianas Trench

[INTRO]

[A] [C#m] [B] [C#m] x2

[VERSE 1]

On a [A]Sunday, near Sep[C#m]tember
We a[B]woke surprised to re[C#m]member
How the l[A]ight attaches [C#m]to a change of [B]heart
What was s[A]imple, now there's q[C#m]uestions
The k[B]ind that I don't look my [C#m]best in
And the [A]ghost in me will [C#m]keep us far a[B]part

[PRE-CHORUS]
And [A]you-[C#m]ou-o[B]u
Know you [C#m]don't de[B]serve this
And [A]I-[C#m]I-I [B]
Don't know [C#m]how to [B]word this

[CHORUS]
[A]But before you [C#m]go, before you [B]go
I just [C#m]wanted [B]you to k[A]now
That I [C#m]would, that I w[B]ould
I would [C#m]love you [B]if I c[A]ould
But my u[C#m]nsteady heart's not [B]ready
You'd only [C#m]get what's [B]left of [A]me
Only [C#m]this, only [B]this
Is [C#m]gonna' [B]be the d[A]eath of me [C#m] [B]
It's [C#m]gonna' [B]be the [A]death of me[C#m] [B]
It's [C#m]gonna' [B]be

[VERSE 2]
I would g[A]ive you any[C#m]thing if I had [B]anything to [C#m]give left
But the p[A]hantoms here will [C#m]never have their f[B]ill
I would [A]tell you "I don't [C#m]miss her"
Cries of [B]love reduced to a [C#m]whisper
But the t[A]ruth is that her g[C#m]host
It haunts me s[B]till (Haunts me still)

[PRE-CHORUS]
And y[A]ou-[C#m]ou-o[B]u
Know you [C#m]don't de[B]serve this
And[A] I[C#m] -I-I[B]
Don't know [C#m]how to [B]word this

[CHORUS]

(One strum each chord)

[A]But before you [C#m]go, before you [B]go
I just [C#m]wanted [B]you to k[A]now
That I [C#m]would, that I w[B]ould

(start playing downstrokes on each beat)
I wou[C#m]ld love y[B]ou if [A]I could
But my u[C#m]nsteady heart's not [B]ready
You'd only [C#m]get what's [B]left of [A]me
Only [C#m]this, only [B]this

(*staccato downstrokes)

C#m* B* [A] [C#m] [B]
Is gonna' be the death of me
It's [C#m]gonna' [B]be the [A]death of me [C#m] [B]
It's [C#m]gonna' [B]be

[BRIDGE]
[A] I've for[C#m]gotten how it f[B]eels to have my [C#m]head o[B]ver my [A]heels
[A] I don't [C#m]want to walk a[B]way
But it's not [C#m]fair to l[B]et you s[A]tay
I'll fall a[C#m]part beyond a k[B]iss
A casta[C#m]way u[B]pon your l[A]ips
Only [C#m]this, onl[B]y

(Arpeggio picking)
Is gonna' be the d[A]eath of me
Gonna' [C#m]be, gonna' [B]be
[C#m]Gonna' [B]be the d[A]eath of me
Gonna' [C#m]be, gonna' [B]be
[C#m]Gonna' [B]be the d[A]eath of me

(Resume strumming repeat chords)

[OUTRO]

Oh, gonna' be
It's[C#m] gonna' [B]be the [A]death of me
[C#m]Hey, [B]yeah
It's [C#m]gonna' [B]be the d[A]eath of me, the death of me
The [C#m]death of me[B]
It's [C#m]gonna' [B]be the d[A]eath of me

[C#m]Gonna' [B]be the d[A]eath of me
