[Verse 1]
C#                    E        F#
Pull the plug in September
C#                     E      F#
I don't wanna die in June
C#                             E     F#
I'd like to start planning my funeral
           A       B         C#
I've got work to do
C#                      E          F#
Pull the plug, make it painless
C#                         E          F#
I don't want a violent end
C#                            E            F#
Don’t say that you'll  always love me
                       A         B
'Cause you know I'd  bleed myself dry for you
                 C#
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
       C#
Only the death of me
 
 
[Verse 2]
C#                    E         F#
Pull the plug, but be carеful
C#                           E        F#
I don't wanna die too soon
C#                             E           F#
I think there's good in you somеwhere
        C#                     C#
I’ll hang on 'til the chaos is through
 
 
[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#
Why would I? It's only the death of me
 
 
[Bridge]
G#
...was so quiet
               F#
No friends and family allowed
         G#                                            F#
Only my murderer, you, 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
 
C#   E   F
 
 
[Chorus]
G#m*
Doomsday is close at hand
F#*
I booked the marching band
C#*
To play as you speak
G#m*
I feel like throwin' up
F#m*                    C#
You sit and stare like a goddamn machine
                   G#m
I'd have liked to plan out my part in this
       F#
But you're such a narcissist
D#
That you did it on Halloween
            F#
I had no choice in the matter
     E            F#     N.C.
Why would I? It's only the death of me
