G
Don't nobody tell me
G7/F                   C/G       Am G
That God don't have a sense of humor
G
'Cause now that I want to live
G7/F            C/G           Am G
Well, everybody around me is dyin'
Dm                        C
Now that I finally wanna live
                     G
The ones I love are dyin'
G                        G7/F
Becoming friends with a noose that I made
C/G                        Am G
And I keep tryin' to untie it
G                      G7/F
Make it into something useful
         C/G                       Am G
Or maybe hang it through a window pane
Dm              C      G
Turn it into a fire escape

Chorus:
             Gm Dm  C      Gm   Dm C
It tastes so bitter on my tongue
              Gm  Dm
The truth's a killer
C                    Gm    F
But I can't leave it alone
C                    Gm    F
But I can't leave it alone
C
But I can't leave it alone

You don't remember my name somedays
Or that we're related
It triggers my worry
Who else am I gonna lose before I am ready?
And who's gonna lose me?

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

If you know love
You best prepare to grieve
Let it enter your open heart and
Then prepare to let it leave

Chorus:
It tastes so bitter
The truth's a killer
But I can't leave it alone
But I can't leave it alone
But I can't leave it alone
But I can't leave it alone
But I can't leave it a-
But I can't leave it a-
