Capo 4
[D]Every couple of years now The [Em]doctor says I'm sick
Pulls out a [D]brand-new bag of tricks And then they lay it [Em]on me
Well, at [D]first, it was my brain Then a [Em]skeleton in pain
And I [D]don't like to complain But I'm saying, " [Em]Sorry"
When I [G]met you, I thought I was damaged [D]goods
Had a fucked up child [G]hood And there's poison in my [D]brain and in my blood
If you [G]knew it was the end of the [F#m]world
Could you love me like a [Em]child? Could you hold me in the [D]dark?
If we [G]knew it was the end of the [F#m]world
Would you like to stay a [Em]while? Would you leave when it gets [D]hard?
So, I [D]ran into the clinic And I [Em]asked to see the man
With his [D]white coat and his stethoscope Like a [Em]snake around his hand
And I [D]told him I'm not bitter 'Cause I [Em]finally found a lover
Who is [D]better for my liver And now I'll [Em]finally recover
When I [G]met him, I thought I was damaged [D]goods
From a real bad neighbor [G]hood So we wrestled in the [D]mud
And I [G]told him he could stay right where he [D]stood
But I don't know if he [G]should 'Cause once my god destroys the [D]flesh, then there's the flood
If you [G]knew it was the end of the [F#m]world
Could you love me like a [Em]child? Could you hold me in the [D]dark?
If we [G]knew it was the end of the [F#m]world
Would you like to stay a [Em]while? Would you leave when it gets [D]hard?
We could [G]sail on broken driftwood through the [F#m]sopping wet terrain
And count the [Em]buildings and the bodies Getting [D]swallowed by the rain
And in the [G]water, there's the doctor who didn't [F#m]listen to my claim
Oh, what a [Em]shame he's circling the [D]drain
When I [G]met you, I said I would never [D]die
But the joke was always [G]mine 'Cause I'm racing against [D]time
And I [G]know it's not the end of the [F#m]world
But could you pick me up at [Em]8:00? 'Cause my treatment starts to [D]day
Pulls out a [D]brand-new bag of tricks And then they lay it [Em]on me
Well, at [D]first, it was my brain Then a [Em]skeleton in pain
And I [D]don't like to complain But I'm saying, " [Em]Sorry"
