 G#m                D#m
You're all I ever wanted
                       F#
So how come I'm still haunted
                           C#
By the thoughts inside my head
     G#m                        D#m
You love me but no matter what you say
                      F#
There's only one of two ways
                   C#
That this is gonna end

E        F#      C#m          G#m
Someone dies or someone gets hurt
       E
But if one of us dies

Chorus:
D#7           B
I hope I die first
                            F#
Cause I don't wanna live without you
                    C#m
I don't wanna ever learn
                      G#m
How to fall asleep without you
                B
Tell me what’s worse?
                   F#
Losing you now or later
                       C#m
Maybe I can break the curse
                        G#m
And I can be in love forever, if I die

You're my fire and my safety
You never mean to break me
And that's why I'm afraid
'Cause someday, everybody's leaving
You promise that you'll stay
But that's a promise you can't make

Someone dies or someone gets hurt
But if one of us dies

Chorus:
I hope I die first
'Cause I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna ever learn
How to fall asleep without you
Tell me what's worse
Losing you now or later
Maybe I can break the curse
And I can be in love forever

          B
If I die first
              F#
I hope I die first
                  C#m                            G#m
I can be in love forever, love forever, love forever

E        F#
Can't escape it
  C#m          G#m
That's how it works
E        F#        C#m        G#m
Someone dies or someone gets hurt
       E
But if one of us dies

Chorus:
I hope I die first
'Cause I don't wanna live without you
I don't wanna ever learn
How to fall asleep without you
Tell me what's worse
Losing you now or later
Maybe I can break the curse
And I can be in love forever
If I die first

I hope I die first
I can be in love forever, love forever, love forever
If I die first
I hope I die first
I can be in love forever, love forever, love forever
