Fm          G#  Fm G#
Just before you die
They say you'll see your life go flashing by
Cold dark endless nights
To burn in hell or bathe in heaven's light

Chorus:
C#                       A#m   F# A#m
Well I don't wanna live forever
But I don't want to die
I may be dreaming but whatever
C#               Fm
I live inside a lie!

Days pass by too soon
Waiting for the rising of the moon
No escape from here
Facing death but is your conscience clear?

I may be dreaming or whatever
Watching my life go by
And I don't wanna live forever
But I don't wanna die!

Chorus:
Well, I don't wanna live forever
But I don't wanna die
I may be dreaming but whatever
I live inside a lie

Don't wanna live forever
But I don't wanna die
Don't wanna live forever
But I don't wanna die
