[Verse]
BmI've made up my mind and I will be lGeaving.
Leaving this crAuel, dark world for the soulless to F#mshare.
F#mBut first...
Women will sBmhriek and watch their husbands bleed.
Children will Gcry and watch their mothers die.
Because toAnight...
Tonight we all go to F#sus4hell!
F#Why?
BmI have to let go of what happened to my love.
GI am taking out on everyone else all the problems I'veA brought on myself.
When I made your heart melt.
MF#my belle, we soon will meet again.
[Pre-Chorus]
GThere's nothing left for me to Alose except Bmconfusion.
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will goF#m away.
GThere's no one left to talk meA down.
BmMy feet are slipping...
[Chorus]
BmOne day I'll Ahope my name doesn't bring back Gmemories.
Of theA day that IBb left her.
BmGoodbye, soA long.
My heart belongs Gto the one I amA chasingBb after.
GFor better, or Aeven for worseF#m, remember me forever...
[Verse 2]
BmNow the only question left isG how to take you all down with me.
AThe coroner will have his hands full tonight.
F#mThat is if he is not among the dead.
BmDead will choke the streets with such vuGlgarity that grown men will weep.
AAnd then you will find theF#m end is drawing night.
[Pre-Chorus]
GThere's nothing left for me to Alose except Bmconfusion.
I'm finished trying to tell myself this will goF#m away.
GThere's no one left to talk meA down.
BmMy feet are slipping...
[Chorus]
BmOne day I'll Ahope my name doesn't bring back Gmemories.
Of theA day that IBb left her.
BmGoodbye, soA long.
My heart belongs Gto the one I amA chasingBb after.
GFor better, or Aeven for worseF#m, remember me...
[Bridge]
GThe dizziness stuns me, Awould someone please distract me?
BmCan I really get through this?
BmCan I really betray myself?
BmFor better or worse, remember forever
GThe dizziness stuns me, Awould someone please distract me?
(There's sweat on my hands and a knife at my throat.)
BmCan I really get through this?
(And as the blade bites my skin)
BmCan I really betray myself?
(Annabel appears...)
N.C.For better or worse, remember me forever
[Chorus]
BmOne day I'll Ahope my name doesn't bring back Gmemories.
Of theA day that IBb left her.
BmGoodbye, soA long.
My heart belongs Gto the one I amA chasingBb after.
GFor better, or Aeven for worseF#m, remember me foreverBm...
