Lyrics

My heart is (Abm7)par a lyzed,

my head was (Gb)o ver sized.

I’ll take the high road like I should.

You said it’s (Abm7)meant to be, that it’s not (Gb)you, it’s me.

You’re leav ing now for my own good.

That’s (CN.C.)cool, but if my friends ask where you are I’m gon na say: “She went (Cbsus2)down in an air plane, (Gb5)eat en get tin’ sun tanned, fell in a o ver by a (Eb5)crap er full of (Db5)quick sand.” (Cbsus2)Help me, help me, I’m no good at good byes.

“She met a (Cb)shark un der wa ter, (Gb)fell and no one caught her.

I re turned ev ’ry thing I ev er (Db5)bought her.” (Cbsus2)Help me, help me, I’m all out of lies

and ways to say you died.

My pride still (Abm7)feels the sting,

you were my (Gb)ev ’ry thing.

Some day I’ll find a love like yours.

She’ll think I’m (Abm7)Su per man, not su per (Gb)min i van.

How could you leave on Yom Kip pur?

That’s (CN.C.)cool, but if my friends ask where you are I’m gon na say: “She was (Cbsus2)caught in a mud slide, (Gb5)eat en by a li on, got in run o ver by a (Eb5)crap py pur ple (Db5)Sci on.” (Cbsus2)Help me, help me, I’m no good at good byes.

“She met dried (Cb)up in the des ert, (Gb)drowned and in a hot tub, danced to death at an East Side ev night (Db5)bought club.” (Cbsus2)Help me, help me, I’m all out of lies

and ways to say you died,

I wan na be the one you’re dy in’ to love,
