Now Ftry and picture Bsus2this, as I Fsus2gave you a kiss
The Fapple in your Bsus2mouth slips in Fsus2mine.
The Forchestra Bsus2played the Fsus2sweetest serenade,
We Flaughed as we Bsus2put away your Fwine.

Pre-Chorus 1
GSo raise your glasses,
Here's a Fsus2toast to wasted Flives,

May all their ghosts come back to haunt you

How do you feel when you close your eyes and try to drift away?
F7+ C#m7alt F7+/b C#m7alt
Does it feel any better now, does it mean any more?
F C#m7alt F7+
When the angel of death comes knock, knocking
And Gbanging at your Fdoor?
