F
I leave the gas on,
walk the alleys in the dark
Dm
sleep with candles burning,
I leave the door unlocked
A#                      Gm
I'm weaving a rope and,
running all the red lights
    C
did I get your attention cause
I'm sending all the signs (that)

The clock is ticking
And I'll be giving my two weeks
Pick your favorite shade of black
You'd best prepare a speech
Say something funny
Say something sweet
But don't say that you loved me

Chorus:
F
Cause I'm still breathing
Dm
And we've been dead for a while
                     A#
this sickness has no cure
                     Gm
we're going down for sure
   C
already lost a grip
best abandoned ship

Maybe I was too pale
Maybe I was too fat
Maybe you had better
Better luck in the sack
No formal education
And I swore way too much
But I swear you didn't care
'Cause we were in love

So as I write this letter
And shed my last tear
It's all for the better
That we end this here
Let's close this chapter
Say one last prayer
But don't say that you loved me

Chorus:
I'm still breathing
But we've been dead for a while
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Oh, we've been diagnosed
So let's give up the ghost
'Cause I'm still breathing
But we've been dead for a while
This sickness has no cure
We're going down for sure
Already lost our grip
Best abandon ship, oh

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Ohh
