G
If you look in the mirror and don't like what you see

So gather round piggies and kiss this goodbye

Intro: G F#m B Em C
Verse 1: G F#m B
And if your heart stops beating, I'll be here wondering
Em C G
Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life
F#m B
And if you get to heaven I'll be here waiting, babe
Em C Am
Did you get what you deserve? The end and if your life won't wait
C D
Then your heart can't take this
Chorus: G B
Have you heard the news that you're dead?
C
No one ever had much nice to say
Eb D
I think they never liked you anyway
G B
Oh, take me from the hospital bed
C
Wouldn't it be grand? It ain't exactly what you planned
Eb D G
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?
Verse 2: G F#m B
Tongue tied and oh so squeamish, you never fell in love
Em C G
Did you get what you deserve? The ending of your life

And if you get to heaven I'll be here waiting, babe

Did you get what you deserve? The end and if your life won't wait

Then your heart can't take this
Chorus: G B
Have you heard the news that you're dead?
C
No one ever had much nice to say
Eb D
I think they never liked you anyway
G B
Oh, take me from the hospital bed
C
Wouldn't it be grand to take a pistol by the hand?
Eb D
And wouldn't it be great if we were dead?
Bridge: Am G Em
And in my honest observation, during this operation
Em C
Found a complication in your heart, so long
Am B
Cause now you've got maybe just two weeks to live
Is that the most the both of you can give?

Title: "The Sharpest Lives"
Verse 1 C#m
Well it rains and it pours when you're out on your own
A
If I crash on the couch can I sleep in my clothes?
F#m
Cause I spent the night dancing, I'm drunk, I suppose
G#
If it looks like I'm laughing I'm really just asking
C#m
To leave this alone, you're in time for the show
A
You're the one that I need, I'm the one that you loathe
F#m
You can watch me corrode like a beast in repose
G#
Cause I love all the poison, away with the boys in the band
Pre-Chorus A B G# C#m
I've really been on a bender and it shows
A G#
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Chorus C#m
Give me a shot to remember
A
And you can take all the pain away from me
F#m
A kiss and I will surrender
G#
The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead
C#m
A light to burn all the embers
A
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be
F#m
In love with all of these vampires
G#
So you can leave like the sane abandoned me
Verse 2 C#m
There's a place in the dark where the animals go
A
You can take off your skin in the cannibal glow
F#m
Juliet loves the beat and the lust it commands
G#
Drop the dagger and lather the blood on your hands, Romeo
Pre-Chorus A B G# C#m
I've really been on a bender and it shows
A G#
So why don't you blow me a kiss before she goes?
Chorus C#m
Give me a shot to remember
A
And you can take all the pain away from me

A kiss and I will surrender

The sharpest lives are the deadliest to lead

A light to burn all the embers
A
So bright the sun is ashamed to rise and be

In love with all of these vampires

So you can leave like the sane abandoned me

Verse 2 D
It was the roar of the crowd
That gave me heartache to sing

We laughed so hard it would sting

If I'm so wrong
A D
How can you listen all night long?

Bring out the old guillotine

We'll show them what we all mean

If I'm so wrong
A D
How can you listen all night long?

Bm
Another lifelong wait for a hospital stay
Em
And if you think I'm wrong
A
This never meant nothing to you
Bridge D Bb D A
So go, go away, just go, run away
Bm A
But where did you run to? Where did you hide?
G A
Go find another way, price you pay
Chorus D
You're just a sad song with nothing to say
Bm
Another lifelong wait for a hospital stay
Em
And if you think I'm wrong
A
This never meant nothing to you
