G#m                               D#7/G
So it's me and you against the world
                          F#sus4
And we won’t make it out alive
                          C#7/F
'Cause everyone wants to sink their
teeth and stop our breathing, I
G#m                           D#7/G
I know we like to hurt each other
                       F#sus4
Just to see if we can cry
                          C#7/F
But I will never fucking leave you,
cross my heart and hope to die

E               D#7
They say there's no chance in hell
E                   D#7
That this is gonna last

Chorus:
    G#m                      D#7/G
But I’ll still love you even after we decay
          F#sus4
When our bodies start to wither
             C#7/F
And there's bugs inside our brains
    G#m                             D#7/G
And I'll still want you when we're six feet
in the ground
          F#sus4
When our bones are cold and rotten
          C#7/F               E D#7
I promise I'll still be around

They're telling us our future is a dead end
(Dead end)
But, fuck it, I'll be your corpse bride
You're not invited to the wedding
(You’re not invited to the)
And cheers to all the tears that they’ll
be shedding (They'll be shedding)
A funeral’s the only party they
won't use our names to get in

They say there's no chance in hell
That this is gonna last

Chorus:
But I'll still love you even after we decay
(After we decay)
When our bodies start to wither
And there’s bugs inside our brains (Bugs inside our)
And I'll still want you when we're six feet in
the ground (Six feet)
When our bones are cold and rotten
Promise I'll still be around

(Even after we decay)
Promise I'll still be around
(Even after we decay)
Promise I'll still be around
(Even after we decay)
(Even after, even after we decay)
(Even after, even after we decay)
