[Intro]
E  D  A    E  D  A
 
[Verse 1]
N.C.                     A
He said baby, what's the big deal
                     D
Feel what you wanna feel
                   A
Say what you wanna say
                     E
You're gonna die one day
 
[Verse 2]
N.C.                A
For example I could kiss you
               D
Just because I want to
                             F#m
What's the difference if you turn away
E         D       A    N.C.
I'm gonna die one day
 
[Chorus]
           A
Why do you waste your time
                        E
Thinkin' 'bout your reputation
                       F#m
Trying to meet an expectation
C#m                    E         A
Wonderin' what they're gonna say
 
     A
When everyone you ever known
                E
Is headed for a headstone
                       F#m  C#m
I don't wanna give the end away
    E           D       A    N.C.
but we're gonna die one day
 
[Verse 3]
     A
Your body is an animal
            D
Doesn't ask for much
                     A
A little music and a soft touch
                      E
Why don't you let it out to play
 
[Verse 4]
     A
Your heart is in a bird cage
                D
Singing in your chest
                          F#m
You wanna shut it up, but give it a rest
E            D       A    N.C.
You're gonna die one day
 
[Chorus]
          A
Why do we waste our time
                      E
Thinkin' 'bout an obligation
                      F#m
Runnin' from a confrontation
C#m               E        A
Wonderin' what we oughta say
 
     A
When everyone we ever known
                E
Is headed for a headstone
                       F#m  C#m
I don't wanna give the end away
    E           D       A
but we're gonna die one day
E           D       A
We're gonna die one day
E           D       A
We're gonna die one day
 
[Verse 5]
                 A
Baby, what's the big deal
                D
If you wanna be free
                    A
Say what you wanna feel
                         E
And spend the night with me
 
[Verse 6]
                         A
I'm gonna take you up in my arms
               D
And if we must go down
                        F#m
We'll go singin' to the smoke alarms
      E       D        A
We'll dance into the ground
