        C             Am
On the day we were supposed to leave
      Dm                       G
You changed your mind at the station
Am
You had a nice apartment
  F
There was a good bar downstairs
 Dm              G
Your old friend worked there
C               Am
I'll go anyway, I'll go anyway
Dm                     G
They won't refund the ticket
G
It's a good story

Chorus:
Dm                            G
But I don't want to live it alone
                 Am
Crash to take a chance
                 C
I wanna live it out
                   Dm
I know I'm already dead
                    G
No concrete adversity
                      Am
Only traps of our own actions
Am                   C
How we wanted it to be
                              Dm
Now I'm never gonna see you again
             G
You checked out

Vertebrae by vertebrae
Roll your way out of a coma
Look up, the nurse is smiling
What luck, the nurse is me
Your old body is dead
Your body's dead, you're a word instead
In my sleep, I repeat it
Well, it's a good story

Chorus:
But I don't wanna live it alone
Crash to take a chance
We were gonna live it out
Look at you, you're already dead
How will you remember me?
Digging ditches out of boredom
Said you could never leave
Now, you're never gonna be here again
You checked out
