I Love You But You're dead


Cm                      Fm            Cm                   Gm
Let’s go toast the twilight at the old horror house
Cm                                        Fm       Cm          Gm
It’s a graveyard, the music’s loud, the future’s bleak
Cm   
And we’ll say hi to Lead Pipe
Fm                       Cm          Gm
Books the bands, says he’s free
Cm                Fm              Cm        Gm
Squeals like a pig when forced to speak
Cm                             Fm                    Cm    Gm
The speaker stack is covered in thick pile of dust
Cm
Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Fm                          Cm    Gm
Give me something I can use
Cm                                Fm                       Cm                   Gm
I wanna get messed up, and give up, and end up somewhere else
Cm                   Fm        Cm   Gm
Sometimes you don’t wanna choose
Cm                  Fm                Cm            Gm
It’s a plywood stage and the carpets are rotten
Cm                 Fm                 Cm             Gm
The band is so loud, they’re lighter than air
Cm                              Fm          Cm                  Gm
The singer’s heart and soul had long since been bled
Cm               Fm       Cm        Gm
And like the ocean, she didn’t care

Bb
The music, it was blasting
And I couldn’t hear what she said
Oh, but when she signed my poster



                  
She wrote,
Ab
I love you
  Gm
She wrote, I love you
   Fm
She wrote, I love you
Gm
but you’re dead

She wrote,
Ab
I love you
  Gm
She wrote, I love you
   Fm
She wrote, I love you
Gm
but you’re dead


Cm  Fm  Cm    Gm
The guitar was pure evil, like the engines on a jet
The singer is beautiful and oh so bored
When she started crawling around on the ground well, honey,
You bet I’ve been down on that beer-soaked floor
Lead Pipe fell in love and said, “Would you look at that slut?”
Beauty brought what was left of him to the edge of despair
He said, “For a little I bet, she would do a whole lot
’cause you’ll do anything when you’re not really there”


Cm  Fm  Cm    Gm
Now tonight, I wanna disappear
So wish me godspeed
For a membership to the human race I’d give up all claim
And I’ll control my arms and my legs and my hands, and my hair and my face
Like I’m holding a gun in a video game
