C#                   E   F#
Pull the plug in September
C#                      E  F#
I don't want to die in June
              C#                E     F#
I'd like to start planning my funeral
          A       B C#
I've got work to do

Pull the plug, make it painless
I don't want a violent end
Don’t say that you'll always love me
'Cause you know I'd bleed myself dry for you
Over and over again

Chorus:
G#m
Doomsday is close at hand
F#                        C#
I'll book the marching band to play as you speak
G#m
I'll feel like throwin' up
F#                          C#
You'll sit and stare like a goddamn machine
             G#m
I’d like to plan out my part in this
       F#
But you’re such a narcissist
         D#
You'll probably do it next week
               F#
I don’t get a choice in the matter
     E           F#         C#
Why would I? It's only the death of me
Only the death of me

Pull the plug, but be careful
I don't wanna die too soon
I think there's good in you somewhere
I’ll hang on 'til the chaos is through

Chorus:
Doomsday is close at hand
I'll book the marching band
To play as you speak
I'll feel like throwin' up
You'll sit and stare
Like a goddamn machine
I'd like to plan out my part in this
But you're such a narcissist
You'll probably do it next week
I don't get a choice in the matter
Why would I? It's only

G#
was so quiet
               F#
No friends and family allowed
         G#
Only my murderer, you,
                               F#
and the priest who told you to go to Hell
                       G#
And the funny thing is I would've married you
                F#
If you'd have stuck around
              C#                  E  F#
I feel more free than I have in years
                  C#  E F#
Six feet in the ground

Chorus:
Doomsday is close at hand
I booked the marching band
To play as you speak
I feel like throwin' up
You sit and stare
Like a goddamn machine
I'd have liked to plan out my part in this
But you're such a narcissist
That you did it on Halloween
I had no choice in the matter
Why would I? It's only the death of me
